Microsoft ruined my i7 Yoga2 so bad that I was forced to buy a i5 Acer couple of hours ago.
Yoga2 came with Windows 8 and after Windows 10 launched, Microsoft started pestering me for a Free Windows 10 Online Upgrade which I resisted for a year or so but finally I got fed up with it and said YES.
And, the result is total disaster. The battery which was lasting 4-5 hours started finishing in 30 minutes and after 15 minutes the screen started going dim with all sorts of static and horizontal and vertical sweeps. I replaced the expensive battery and no change.
Windows behaviour also got totally screwed up. Selected Windows remains in the background. You have to minimize all other Windows to bring the desired Window to foreground.
And, many other horror stories which finally ended up by buying a new laptop so that I can continue working.
The problems observed on Yoga2 with Windows 8 had 3200x1800 with Intel HD Graphics chipset.
I had problems on original Windows 8 at this resolution with Edraw Max software which I now tried on Ruined Windows 10 seems to be working properly which means something must have been fixed between Win 8/8.1 and Win 10. However, now that the Applicatıon behaves OK, the Legacy Windows Desktop icons became miniscule.
I have then adjusted the scale to effect from the main display settings page. Icons remained miniscule although showing a 250% scale.
Then I went to Custom Scaling ( not recommended ) and tried 400% and 300% too much and eventually settled at 200% scaling level which made Windows itself reasonable at this setting.
However, when I went back to EdrawMax to see what happened, unfortunately same old story, unreadable microsized text and Windows just as if they are taking the reciprocal of the scaling I am setting at Windows.
Now, I check uTorrent and that's fine. Paint.NET livable but icons and toolboxes now too small. PowerPoint ditto.
Our own MFC Windows apps fine.
Now, the acid test: LBB 3.04 : perfect.
Liberty 4.5 also perfect.
So, it seems that certain applications can manage it well and some applications do it not so good and in the case of EdrawMax, awful. Like I said, they must be taking reciprocals.
Enough time lost. Better go back to work on the new Acer.
