moral of the story...do not click 'check for updates'
 
think it has anything to do with the spectre parts of that update?
 
Spectre... the gift that just keeps on giving. (Ironically, mostly to Intel users)
 
I noticed it messed with my GTA5 and World of Warcraft. I get these little hiccups in performance where I get dropped frames for a second every now and then. It happens maybe once ever couple minutes but its annoying.
 
Not that it ever performed well, but Anthem has been especially sloppy over the last few days. No clue if is this or the latest game patch, though. I haven't noticed any issues with anything else.
