Who is even installing preview updates? Why?
Only way I could get a bunch of drivers for my new laptop. Had no Webcam, no sound and only limited TouchPad functionality until I installed a preview version
Why? Doesn’t the laptop come with working hardware?
I nuked windows to get rid of malware manufacturer installs
And the manufacturer didn’t have drivers on their support page?
They did, but they didn’t work until I installed the preview version. I mentioned in a different comment: I got the laptop with latest Ryzen 735 and I think this hardware may be really new so Windows was still catching up.
That’s lame. At least you got it working. Wise choice to nuke the OEM install. Next time install Linux!
That was actually first thing I did, but resolution scaling is still pretty much broken at least on Plasma and I’m too old to switch DEs. Plus, I had very unreliable connection via my TB docking station that I’ve never experienced with my previous Dell laptop.
I’ll eventually switch back anyway. I’ve been daily driving OpenSuse for over a decade, but I figured I’ll give windows a chance for now. With WSL, it honestly feels like a polished DE more than a completely different OS.
Plasma 6 has caused me nothing but problems. But I’m using an Nvidia GPU, and I attribute most of it to the proprietary drivers.
Just get the drivers from manufacturers website. What laptop is it?
I did, they didn’t work until I installed the preview version. I think this hardware is too new. I have the Asus ProArt 16 with Ryzen 9 HX 735
Ohhh, yeah I suppose if it’s brand spanking new it might be designed for a certain minimum version. Not common but possible.
