I recently purchased a new laptop: Open Box: MSI GS60 Ghost Pro-606 Gaming Laptop Intel Core i7-5700HQ 2.70 GHz 15.6" Windows 8.1 64-Bit - Newegg.com
Since then in both windows8.1 and now win10 (hoping updating would help) unity is extremely unstable. The editor starts with the window slightly askew so you can’t grab the top bar to close or minimize the editor. If you attempt to resize a viewport or use OS controls to pin the editor to one side or another Unity freezes (never crashes on its own, just hangs indefinitely) and you have to end the task to continue. This happens on a brand new empty project. Additionally, using any command that opens a new window will freeze the editor (like build settings for example). I’ve tried the force dx11 startup in the icon and it doesn’t seem to help.
Sometimes Unity gives a message in the console at startup saying that I need to download a hotfix from microsoft or risk unstable results. However, the hotfix only works for win7 and below. Here’s a link to that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/976038
I’m sort of stuck with this brand spanking new laptop with a nice setup and no unity. Any suggestions?
