    I do get the same Steam error 2 with Civ V but it is not Windows 10 1607's fault. Players who haven't installed the update are seeing the same error, especially players who recently purchased the game.

    Gaming Center and other bloatware problems are kernel mode drivers not being properly signed (temporary fix: disable UEFI Secure Boot until permanent solutions come down).

    Telemetry shutoff settings are sticking for me (nb: I'm running with Secure Boot disabled, dunnow if this is relevant).

    As noted, the Steamworks issues reportedly caused by 1607 are also being experienced by Windows 7 users. They are also being experienced by users who reverted to 1511. Whatever the problem is, Windows 10 AU is not the direct cause.

    10 broke my VPN. Also, 10 forced Secure Boot in my UEFI settings at some point. I've never turned that on yet it was enabled.

    So Microsoft lied about upgrades not affecting kernel mode drivers and one of the updates forced Secure Boot on at some point. Yeah I'm over it.

    I'll take care of it today lol. I tend to be anal about those things too I was just tired at that point.

    I am probably close behind you. I just am not sure Windows 7 is where I want to be. I know I have another 4 years or so but do I really want to give M$ any kind of support? Better yet are they deserving of support? M$ is like an old family member that has become addicted to drugs. No matter how many times they falter and mess you up you want to give them another chance. Are we now enablers?

    If I had an actual computer monitor I'd be running Mint 18 for what it's worth. Most of my gaming is on the console these days anyway and if push came to shove I could always enable my onboard graphics and set up a KVM using PCIe pass-through for my 780 Ti to function perfectly in a Windows VM.

    Right now I'm kind of pissed about the LAN speed... The I217-V Intel LAN is running like 36Mbps while my little Broadcom m.2 combo card that doesn't even have an external antenna runs a flat 180Mbps. Obviously there's a driver issue at play but I'm even on the latest Intel drivers for my LAN so I don't know what the problem is. Guess I'll just use WiFi. Need to test this new router out anyway. 8.1 and 10 have perfect 180Mbps LAN speed out of the box. 7 needs a driver and it doesn't work well at all.

    Did you try manually setting the link speed, sometimes I have had old Windows 7 drivers stuck at 100mbps, manually setting 1000mbps fixes that.

    " Now fixed

    Edit: it seems the broken games may be a steamworks issue affecting all versions of Windows and happening at the same time as AU roll-out may be a coincidence. Valve hopes to have a fix out today."

    "Bout to rip my hair out. Nothing like spending all ****ing day at a ****ing soul-sucking call centre to come home and deal with steam's bullcrap. All I wanna do is play civ5 in my happy place .-.

    Edit: Looks like this is a legitimate steam issue not just affecting me. Wish steam support was better; better let them know it's an issue

    Edit2: VALVE FIXED IT!! WOOOO!!!"

    Update! Valve is aware of the issue and working on a fix.

    Yeah it's set to 1Gbps but doesn't make a difference. It actually runs better at 100Mbps half duplex and it doesn't matter whether I use the ASUS driver or the new Intel driver. Good thing my system came with the Broadcom Wi-Fi chip I guess. It works flawlessly.

    This sounds like auto-negotiation on your network switch is flapping. If this is the problem then the solutions are, in order of preference:
    1. Pin the switch port to 1Gb/full.
    2. Use a different switch, one that doesn't flap.
    3. Pin the host NIC to settings that stop the switch from flapping.

    Check the settings to see if the toggle is already off, you may have set it that way earlier:

    Disable ads and tips on Windows 10 Anniversary Update's lock screen
    http://betanews.com/2016/08/08/disable-ads-on-windows-10-lock-screen/

    It's a bit confusing, as mixed in AU was the loss of the ability to completely disable the lock screen - skip it at boot - the Group Policy setting was removed in Windows 10 AU, here is a work around for that as well, #11:

    @hmscott I set it off right after install, as well as implemented most other tricks from @Phoenix clean installation guide. OOSU settings don't seem to be affected either. It seems jumping to Linux ship is postponed once more, at least for me. =p
