Windows 10 Creators Update user reviews

Positive feedback

Faster upgrade process

Users confirm that the Creators Update installs faster than the Anniversary Update. Of course, your internet connection speed affects the install process, but overall all users should notice that upgrading to the OS takes less time now.

Search is faster

The Windows 10 Creators Update almost reads minds: search results now appear almost instantaneously.

The Taskbar, Action Center and Start menu feel much more responsive than the Anniversary Update.

Users can uninstall Onedrive much easier now.

Enhanced gaming performance

Users confirm that the new Game Mode adds moderate performance increase especially in games that use Vulkan.

Negative feedback

Black screen on install

Should you encounter black screen issues during the upgrade process, give your PC a few minutes. If nothing happens, perform a forced shutdown. Power your computer back on and it should go straight to the “Installing apps/preparing your PC/We’ve got updates for you” screen.  It will reboot once again and everything should work perfectly.

No brightness control

Windows 10 Creators Update is not perfect yet, but Microsoft still has a few days to fix the bugs that slipped by its Insider Team. According to user reports, there is no brightness control on particular laptop models.

Bloatware like Candy Crush still exists. The good news is that you can simply unpin these apps and programs from the Start menu and they won’t reinstall automatically.
