After a Windows 10 Update Today Overclocking is lost. WTF Microsoft and Intel???

MrGenius · Sep 14, 2018

You're more than welcome. I'm glad it worked for me too!

phill · Sep 14, 2018

Just Googled the KB number, came back with a fix - here... There's a few command line based tasks to do so hopefully if anyone else is having any issues with the update this will help

It's pretty shitty of MS to do this..... I can't see the update on my 1803 install just yet...

hat · Sep 15, 2018

Geez... quite a nasty update. I'm glad I didn't upgrade to anything newer. Now rather than upgrading for more performance, I'm just gonna wait this spectre/meltdown/etc crap out...

Well f*uck me. Forced uninstalled that update in safe mode and now system is stuck in BSOD loop and can’t even get into recovery mode!

Thanks a bunch Microsoft for mess up my work computer with your “Intel validated” microcode update.

This kind of thing is the very reason why I run Ubuntu exclusively on my tower. The sad reality is that I can't be bothered to drop everything I'm doing because a freaking update destroyed my system. After happening twice, I said enough is enough.

Never liked the idea of UEFI and how Microsoft\Intel could just change shit. just to much control over some thing you payed good money for.

Microcode updates were possible on conventional bios as well.

Not with the same invasiveness seemingly. It's actually a bit better now that with modern platforms MEI/AGESA and the base BIOS code are separate, but yeah, you've always been able to reboot the system to a BIOS/firmware installer... that installer might have run off DOS before tho, while now UEFI makes DOS obsolete.

My Surface has done BIOS, MEI updates, as well as TPM firmware updates, all with no issues, all pushed via Windows update, and you know, I really like that it does. But I understand that when issues like this occur, it seems like a big pain in the ass. It does also highlight how easy it could be to compromise a system... someone just needs to write code to take over Windows Update

. I wonder what sort of CRC or whatever checks it does....

hat · Sep 15, 2018

I remember a time when such updates would have to be applied "manually", with some sort of winflash program at best (read: easiest) or a DOS bootable USB or something at worst. You could then, before applying the update, see if there are any comments like "this update wrecked my system!" and avoid if you so choose.

Now these updates just sneak in your system at night and wreck up the place.

Exactly the same. The procesor provides the ability to install microcode updates via an OS driver, and I know even XP had facilities for it. It has nothing to do with UEFI vs BIOS.

The difference is in the BIOS era there were few incidents in which they were used. But the facilities have existed since that awful pentium bug whose name escapes me.

Case in point: Nearly every LGA1366 system is BIOS code based, but they are getting mc updates including this one today. Did someone miss this fact?

Flyordie · Sep 15, 2018

I'm just here for the horror stories.

AMD user here. :peace:

XKM, I'd maybe clarify.. I don't think its your overclock. It says the clock speeds are the same? Just a lower score. Or am I missing something?

Planning to get started on the Threadripper transplant this weekend. :-o

"Your license is attached to your microsoft account"

I just hope my Windows 10 Pro re-activates once I swap over on a fresh install on the NVMe drive.

Candor · Sep 15, 2018

I guess I dodged a bullet here.

No system problems or performance degradation after the update. (Strix X99 Gaming & 5820K (Haswell-E))

AlwaysHope · Sep 15, 2018

This thread's topic is ANOTHER reason update to Zen+ goodness... :peace:

Win10, fully updated on both my AMD systems here... all good!

Well that's it. That's why I said "seemingly".

ASUS manipulated this long ago with their e-OS or whatever it was called to create a "pre-OS OS". That was some brilliant engineering on their part.

I wanna see how this turns out

That was kinda just a bios module set to execute and doesn't use the microcode facilities at all... but yeah. Basically os in rom. You can still do this today in uefi with some knowhow.

Probably the way it did for my A9-9420 APU... 2 months of relentless bitching to MS and then they finally fixed it. Except, in my case, the performance drop was astronomical as I could literally see things move in slideshows. Where with these, most of clueless people won't even notice and report it. And MS will be like "ALL IS FINE!"

That would makes no sense. I have been using beta 3902 BIOS for a few months now and it has been perfect.

I'm wondering if your problem isn't that beta BIOS - maybe with beta microcode - conflicting with this KB.

Would be interested to see what happens if you go back to a stable BIOS and reapply the KB.

GreiverBlade · Sep 15, 2018

ohhh that's great ... i just noticed my 6600K is back at 3.9ghz stock frequencies ...

dunno if it's related to that ...

tho ... well, i might push a Zen update sooner than later ... Intel is dead for me ... that's the last drop.

rtwjunkie · Sep 15, 2018

So, is this an update that will affect all HEDT, because the wife has X79?

GreiverBlade · Sep 15, 2018

rtwjunkie said:

seemingly also normal one ... read above ...

although i have to check to be sure... nonetheless, a R5 2600X or a R7 2700X set will be due before the end of the year :mad:

check your 4790K ... just in case (if it affect Skylake and above only, lucky for you

... well, they've still done it for me :laugh:

)

are you freaking kidding me??? i re establish the OC, since i didn't see the KB4100347 update in the list so i thought i just did reset my bios by accident, and :

then it does a memtest ...

i couldn't boot at all until i set the BIOS on default ...
all i can do now is forcing 3.9 turbo instead of OC 4.4 or above (well not even 3.95 OC works either )

RejZoR · Sep 15, 2018

It doesn't seem to affect my 5820K from the looks of it, at least testing with CPU-Z benchmark which is a basic way of spotting broken CPU performance. Didn't evaluate performance of other subsystems like storage IO and memory IO...

GreiverBlade · Sep 15, 2018

funny how every little underhanded tricks from Intel that made them faster than AMD counterpart are falling appart ...
melted-down, spectered out and now ... dodgy microcode update that disable OC on CPU that are bought because they are K or X ...

i am fed up.

update .... oh ... now 41° idle instead of the 26° i had before with OC and the exact same cooling...

Although my system wasn't impact by this, I put this little package together with details on how to remove and block update KB4100347 (Sept 2018).

I hope it is helpful to someone.

But they did not do this shit before, simple fact is that a bios update is all ways a risk and did it when you thought it was the best time to do so ( like reseting the bios with no overclock ). Like hell a storm could be rolling in and Windows decides to update.

Storm hits system shuts down maybe a 30 minute UPS was not long enough and POOF systems screwed and NO one to take blame for it.
