As far as I can see,you can't switch off auto updates now, you can pause them for up to thirty days, "Ahaaaaa", I hear you say, "Just keep pausing for thirty days", once you've paused and got to the end of how ever many days you paused for, you can'r pause again until you've updated.
I will dig deeper though. QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Sep 18 2019, 10:51 PM)  Typically, for any audio production rig, one turns off auto updates for the simple reason that one random system update can cause various parts of your computer to no longer function properly in terms of software/hardware that you use for audio productions. E.G. Windows runs and update, you sit down and turn on your daw and all of the suddent you get a few pop up warnings that your existing libraries are no longer compatible. Or one of your fave plugins will no longer load. Etc. When a system update is released, it's a good idea to google it to see if people are having issues rleated to audio production. In pro studios updates are often done on schedule a few months behind release to allow for bug fixes and to allow time to find out what the release might break. Then again, in pro studios the main production computer is often set as a 'stand alone"(no active connection to the internet) so that it can't get infected from the internet/web, and can't accidently update itself and break itself right before a session. A machine can still be connected to another machine via ethernet for the purpose of backup/restore, without being on the web. However, in most home studios, the main production rig is also the main rig in genearl for games/email/brosing etc. I don't run my main rig "Stand Alone" as I am online too often with GMC etc. So I'm very careful about updates. I have updates set to download but not install. I research each update carefully before I install it. Todd I'm hoping this one lasts a loooong time. I don't think audio software is getting much more demanding at the moment, it seems to have plateaued a little. QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Sep 19 2019, 12:40 PM) Maaan, I'm envious! My PC still runs great, but it's 3 years old. I'm hoping it can last another 3 years. That seems to be the span for my PC's. Each one has lasted about 6 years so far. Maybe in 3 years I'll have money for a new one! This post has been edited by Phil66: Sep 19 2019, 08:16 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Yup. Windows stopped letting you just click a check box a while back. They sorta force you risk wrecking the stability of your rig. However, you can do what lots off folks who use windows for audio are doing which is to dig under the hood a bit and put a stop to the windows force fed updates.
You can stop windows 10 from force fed updates. Just takes a bit of doing. https://www.easeus.com/todo-backup-resource...lly-update.html quote name='Phil66' date='Sep 19 2019, 03:15 PM' post='771346']As far as I can see,you can't switch off auto updates now, you can pause them for up to thirty days, "Ahaaaaa", I hear you say, "Just keep pausing for thirty days", once you've paused and got to the end of how ever many days you paused for, you can'r pause again until you've updated.

I'm going to have to dig around unless anyone here knows how to do that? Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Todd, It's not my "do everything" rig but I do need it connected to the internet to upload my videos and soundcloud etc.

I can't believe how quickly this thing installs programs and renders audio /video.

SSD is, in some cases, a better upgrade than ram.
Back to "latency". Not sure it is latency that I am sensitive to. I took it a trial of Helix Native before I came away, had to contact support because I tried it in my old rig and nothing but crackles and pops but my time limited was logged. Explained to line six and they gave me an extension. Anyway, I just couldn't handle it, really messing with my head. Used my Helix LT on the same settings and that was the same. With Native, unless you can advise otherwise, I have to switch Reaper to "record monitor". I can't handle that slight delay, I put my LT on the same setting and it was the same. I usually use "direct monitoring" and that is pure real time, is there a way to do this with native? I guess it would be good to have for working with a dry signal but for me that's about it I think. Maybe I didn't need this new rig. Cheers Phil This post has been edited by Phil66: Oct 4 2019, 07:06 AM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
