        As a Windows user who manually updates weekly and reads changelogs for what actually changes, neither do I.

        But then again I don’t leave 400,000 items open on my desktop for no reason whatsoever and get mad when I have to close them.

    After switching to Linux a month ago, I can finally participate in the circle jerking:

    Forced updates? Haha lol. That’s such a Windows user thing to say.

      I’m pretty sure that’s a bios option. Your ram is retraining for maximum overclock. Turn it off. Live with the 1% slower performance.

        Hate to break it to you, but no. I turned every option regarding cpu or ram overclocking off and it still won’t post stable. Doesn’t matter, i am a cs phd, so i pretty much start the system in the morning and shut it down before i go to bed, this way i just have to start it before getting coffee :)

          Have you tried setting the ram to lower than rated? For example, it could have been sold as 6000 but is only reaching 5600. There might also be a newer bios that fixes the common bug of memory retrain settings not being saved.

        It’s easier to never learn anything and complain that an OS has issues you didn’t bother to learn how to overcome.
