Weird, it was just the other way around for me. Ever since I got windows 10 ( August 2015 ) ,my second monitor (driven by an intel 4600) was acting up: after every reboot I had to disable/enable it using device manager to get it to show anything.
Since the Anniversary update it starts up okay now after a reboot.
I guess microsoft is aiming for divine status but we could do with a bit less of the mysterious ways stuff.

Wow. Everything is upside down with Win10, I guess.

There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We fruggin PWN you!

Such a perceptive reply (except misspelling OWN) is surely worthy of a +.

So - after a major cogitation session of your link's explanation, I determined that OWN would have been more like it, anyway. A strong word is only as strong as it is generally understood.
The alternative "we BONE you" would also work . . .

I assume you read this:
Because Windows 10 has mandatory updates, you now need to head to Microsoft’s support page to download a tool to stop the system automatically updating your driver – you can disable this when you know that the newest driver has patched the screen flicker problem.
Crazy. Download a piece of software to prevent the OS from downloading new stuff that is broken.

Yeah, it's totally crazy that you have to download software that tells it not to update.
Like putting a lock on your door so it doesn't lock.

Ever heard of GWX, and all the third-parties that were created to block it?

...Doesn't allthis flickering mean that the drivers are doing bad things to my h/w too?
And doesn't that mean that Microsoft would have some responsibility in the shortened life of my h/w?
Microsoft may be pushing the driver on their own site, but they didn't write it--it's still (in your case) Intel's.

Good point.
Well, then, Intel owes me!!!
I just know that some big corp owes me millions of $$$.
Pain and flickering and all that.

That lambo was slow off the starting line. I believe the driver must've been asleep.

or the driver belittle's the truck because he thinks it's a waste of time and money to compete with a lambo.

"Anybody has got half a million dollars you could probably buy that lambo and if anybody has got 28 dollars you can buy that farm truck"
What the hell was that lambo driver doing though?

He was probably looking at the farm truck and said... "wtf, seriously?"

Something tells me the truck owner spent more than $28 on it.

Like $28 for each lug-nut on those drag tiers.

Pft a custom built drag racer vs a street car competing in a drag race probably with a professional driver in the truck and the owner in the lambo (who seems to have been asleep), and you are surprised at the result!

Whenever you have enough power available it's all in the tyres. I can bet the Lambo had street tyres.

If that's the kind of staged bollocks that goes on at these shows, I don't think I'll bother going.

Yeah, everything is staged, including running from the cops, their late-night tests where they tow their car to a remote location so they can test the car without being hassled by the cops, and drama at their "street" events.
Their cars are NOT street cars, and the "street" is prepped for maximum traction. Real street racing usually happens at a 40-mph roll on the freeway, and only involves street cars.
I'm a car guy, and I hate that show. In fact, any show that falls under the "reality" genre is crap.

Agreed. For something with a touch more credibility, 1000hp 4 Door Lexus on the STREET[^]
will take one to an interesting video.
Not bad for a 3L methinks. (It's 1000hp at the wheels with nitrous - owner reckons 950 ish without)
