Confirmed

Running Windows 10 in a VM at 4K.

Iโ€™ve confirmed that it does not in fact properly support 4K.

What in the hell. This is a brand new OS. 4K has been out for three years now.

Microsoft is smoking all the crack.

  1. Ditto. I moved back to a Windows laptop with a QHD+ display. Even on that Windows 10 sucks. I should have stuck it out with my Retina Macbook Pro but the cognitive overload of using two different OSes was getting annoying.

    I know, I know, you can juggle multiple OSes at the same time. I just can’t… ๐Ÿ™‚

    • I wish I could just take the best parts of each OS and meld them together. I was really hoping Windows 10 would implement proper end-to-end 4K support. It’s kind of a travesty that it does not.

      Think they spent too much time developing “Metro” apps.

      • I don’t know enough about it to say for sure, but the compositing is optimized for Metro Apps. They run silky smooth. But desktop apps seem to have suffered as a result, scrolling in Chrome is a nightmare and I see flickers in video in VLC something I haven’t seen since 2009 Ubuntu!

        • Ugh. I’ve only run 10 in a VM so I assumed a lot of the problems resulted from that. Guess not.

          I used to resort to some rather outlandish (it seemed to me at the time) hacks to prevent tearing and flicker in Ubuntu. Good job, Microsoft!
