WINDOWS 10 (VERSION 2004) MAY 2020 FEATURE UPDATE solved

[renanlofiego]

Hello, I will try to explain as much as possible to make it very clear. I have an old topic here, I did all the tests that had told me in the other topic.

This is the old topic I referred to -> https://www.eksimracing.org/forum/index.php?topic=4961.0

I used Windows 10 in Insider Preview mode to receive the news first to precisely anticipate certain problems, as I work with computers I always try to keep up with the news but after this little problem I stopped using this type of resource because I am a virtual pilot but this new version of Windows will probably come to everyone by the end of May now and I decided to wait a few weeks to see if this delay on the display had been resolved but unfortunately not.

If you could test it would be great, you can make the change and then return by Windows itself to the previous version you were in, you have to go to -> Windows Settings in the start menu - Update and Security - Windows Insider program - activate the option to receive the builds in slow mode after restarting the PC you search for the update that will appear in the Windows 10 bulid 2004 version.

Here is a video explaining more or less how to update Windows 10 build 2004 ...

I did everything you asked for, tried all the settings inside the software trying to adjust the delay options but without success, tested on 3 different motherboards trying to see if the problem was with my machine but I believe it is not.

Finally, yesterday after I updated Windows I went to test and as you already know it didn't work but then I remembered that I had VDASH-EMU that runs on the android phone, ready I thought now it will work here until it solves itself or I know it but unfortunately it didn't work either, I made some recordings and put it here to see on both devices.

If you notice the videos when the car speeds up, it already has a delay, in gear changes the gear goes in but the RPM is always late.

I also made a recording of the normal RPM in the current version of Windows 10 build 1909

Hello,

Thanks for your last input. REMINDER of the basic rule - WE CAN'T FIX SOMETHING WE CAN'T REPO - this is just impossible, sorry.

We perfectly understand your issue and we're NOT able to reproduce it and unfortunately we have no new answer.  With all the information we have, it seems NOT related to our software and as soon as we can repro the issue with the upcoming '20H1' Windows update and find a problem with our software we will reopen the topic if needed and hopefully fix it.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hello,

Thanks for your last input, we confirm the issue with the new Features Windows 2004 update, we still don't know if it's directly related to KB4556803 or to the security update or the cumulative .NET framework update all 3 KB are installed together, the issue is still not related to SLIMax Mgr Pro but to one of the hundreds bugs of this latest Windows Update.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOWS 10 (VERSION 2004) MAY 2020 FEATURE UPDATE  this windows version is ULTRA BUGGED!

We are still investigating for a workaround for those who have already installed it but the only solution found is to choose recovery in settings and get back to the latest stable version of Windows 10 for sim racing config - VERSION 1909 -

I am relieved that the problem is not with my hardware, I know that they will get a resovler and I am available to help with the tests if I want, I am a volunteer.

For the level of knowledge, I work with computers and use Windows in preview mode precisely to anticipate these types of errors and within Windows and that's exactly what happened. 

This preview has two modes of fast ring and slow ring update.  The fast mode are updates that are more likely to give errors and versions later on with new features and etc.

And I also tested this one and it has the same problem, just to know that even in future updates it has the same behavior.  Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for your help. We suspect an issue with the new behavior of the security update which slows down the com between modules, please do the following to disable the scripting module:

quit all apps
go to the SLIMax Manager Pro program directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\SLIMax Manager Pro\ )
and simply rename the scripts/ folder for example _scripts/
launch SLIMax (click OK to all "scripts not loaded" error dialogs)

Bypassing the script module also reduces drastically the functions available of SLIMax Mgr Pro to ultra basic behavior without any control over the leds ...but this confirms the conflict with the new Windows security update (usually firewall rules) or other security apps/services running in background.

Thanks

It didn't work when I disabled it, it stayed the same after updating Windows 10 2004
