    When I started with mid-January level software, I would see about a half hour of CPU looping both before and after the point where you select updates to install.

    The update to the Windows Update process itself, KB3138612 seems to only resolve the CPU loop delay after selecting updates.

    KB3139852, all by itself, solves the problem on both ends.  They must have changed something in the kernel to fix this and piggybacked it on a security update.

    yes in my experience ive needed 3102810 at minimum or sometimes a combination of 3138612 947821 and 3102810

    didnt work for me.

    Which I will translate to "at the time/date I did the search on google, in my localized results it came out as second result".

    Just for the record a google search result is not carved in stone, and can be in  a different position (or be not there at all) in a subsequent search, and as well results may change depending on the location from which the search was originated, and will definitely vary when using "national" google sites (as opposed to google.com) and even from the same site and originating location on local OS/browser settings.

    my post is also not carved in stone. it was meant for immediate consumption. the new version is out and is on iscloud.

  3. @tripredacus - seems like windows 10 is improving its html5 experience since it is the best of the 3 OSes as far as temps are concerned. overall though win8.1 with chrome and flash seems to be doing the best.

     

    its interesting win10 uses win8.1 drivers yet win8.1 doesnt  match its html5 experience.

     

    PS i didnt suggest windows 10 runs hotter or cooler, i just suggested we test it. thanks for posting those figures :yes:

     

     

    @noel youtube doesnt require codecs for 4k videos. wat about using VLC for houkouonchi videos? how does it compare on windows 10 from your testing?

  4. playng a youtube video is a universal thing which 99% of the computers sold will do at some point in their life. So it is expected that hardware/software codecs/drivers/browsers/OS etc would be well optimised for it and if it not then it will show as greater heat output

     

    Plus heat reduces life of a machine exponentially. If a machine runs cooler while doing the same task on XYZ OS then it is more efficient.

     

    heat measurement in this test should show all efficiencies and inefficiencies combined in a system.

     

    Lets get some test results. I would like to see how win10 is doing vs win7.

  5. Ok thanks. I will give it a shot next week when I have access to the system again. I will note that I will be using a notebook to do these tests. Specifically, this one:

    http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/173469-uefi-installation-on-a-4k-native-display/

    You did not specify what type of computer or what hardware you are using, it could be possible that I will get different results. Drivers may also play a part in seeing a difference. I do know that Windows 7 is not natively compatible with 4k resolution, which might also be a factor. Since the notebook I have is not to be used with Windows 7, I will also try Windows 8.1.

     

     

    that laptop looks fine, you could playback a 4k video on a non 4k display as well since the idea is to test the processor heat only.

     

    yes my hardware is different but it wont matter because the idea is to see the percentage increase/decrease in temperatures and not the absolute degrees finally.

     

    checking system performance this way is the ultimate benchmark because it checks for all system efficiencies and inefficience in one round figure of heat output! if the OS/drivers/programs are becoming more efficient with win10 it will show up as a net percentage decrease in temperature over windows 7 while doing the same task using the same default software on the same hardware compared to windows 10. Otherwise it will show a decrease in efficiency.

  6.  

    I don't think it will work out for me to try this. Do you have any other examples of seeing this temperature difference that doesn't involve downloading movies?

     

    You can play this

    and select the highest setting possible (1080p/1440p/2160p) and note the temperatures in both operating systems.
  7. Is this the required log?
