It's just a couple of days that I use win10 and the more I use it the less I like it. When using Iray the task manager GPU usage is always 0%, while if I use gpu-z I correctly see 100%, so I guess it's a win10 bug. Is anyone else having this issue ?

    By default the Task Manager does not display the right details to catch iray - if you go to the Performance tab and chnage one of the graphs to Compute_0, or CUDA if that's in the menu, you should see the correct value.

    Wait until the next Win10 update deletes your Nvidia driver and installs a Microsoft version that won't work for Iray.

    Do you have a reliable reference for that, or is it just the standard internet tech hysteria?

     Well let's see, plenty of references in this forum. Oh yeah, personal experience with Win10 before I reverted. Then again you can take it leave it. No one makes you listen.

    What I meant is are there people actually saying that the not-yet-released April update deletes your NIVIDIA drivers, or is that just a general expectation that it will do something bad?
