Hello everyone. It’s me Keetakawee from Fidelizer. I’m currently visiting my parents right now and will be go back after Thailand’s Songkran festival. I also brought my laptop with Fidelizer to delivery so I’m good.
Since Microsoft started shipping out Windows 10 Creators Update recently, I decided to apply Windows 10 Creators Update from Windows Update notification. It didn’t go well for the first time having Windows Explorer gone. This has nothing to do with Fidelizer so don’t worry about it.
After looking around for a while, I found the culprit which is UxStyle software I installed for custom themes interfered it. Removing this solved the case and Windows 10 is working fine now. Reinstalling UxStyle after Creators Update is OK too.
I didn’t notice sound quality getting worse like Windows 10 v1607 update report. I immediately noticed more openness and clarity on high frequency right away. Midrange is smoother with more linear sounding closer to v1511 update. After applying Fidelizer, it sounds great and works like before.
However, I noticed something getting worse too like dynamics of sound is slightly less solid than before. Bass isn’t deep or give strong attack on notes as much as before. You could say this is still better for overall improvements unlike previous v1607 that was devastating without Fidelizer.
Here’s my ranking for sound quality on Windows 10 so far. I made sure to apply Windows 10 Creators Update on 3 machines to test.
Windows 10 Threshold (v1067) > Windows 10 Threshold 2 (v1511) > Windows 10 Creators Update (v1703) > Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (v1607)
Nimitra will continue to use Windows 10 Threshold 2 (v1511) as before. Why not v1067 which is ranked first? Because it could be my preference for better sounding by small margin and v1511 is more stable for production release.
