Precision 7710 Owner's Thread

Has anyone on Windows 10 upgraded to the Creators Update yet? If so, is your Dell TouchPad settings crashing on launch? My touchpad works fine, but I can't access the settings for reversing scrolling direction since the settings panel crashes.

 

On Creator's Update on Precision 7510, TouchPad settings works fine. My driver version is 10.1207.101.113.

 

Huh, that's weird. I have the same touchpad driver. Maybe it's conflicting with my Logitech wireless mouse in some way. I'll keep digging.

 

Has anyone, especially with the 4k screen noticed issues with the black level? When watching dark videos especially, I get some weird pixelation/polarization in the shadows and detail is just low and everything is kinda washed out. If I turn off switchable graphics then everything is ok, and on an external monitor everything is fine as well. I was able to at least make it somewhat better by uninstalling the Premier Display program, but after the creators update and a GPU driver reinstall the problem is back regardless of if Premier display is installed or not.

 

I do remember, before I calibrated, that some dark colors in photos would looked grainy or had some pixelation. I don't remember so much in videos (it may have been there and I just don't remember). I no longer use Dell Premier Color anymore either. And I'm on build 1607 of windows 10, not creators. I'll find out later this month when I migrate to Windows 10 Creators if that issue reappears. I may have to restore my calibration file(s). I''m also using Switchable graphics mode

 

I updated to the latest BIOS and then rolled back from the latest driver on Intel's site to the latest one from Dell, and this seems to have fixed the issue so long as I leave the "gamut" slider all the way up at "vibrant". otherwise, the issue reappears.

 

Anyone else update to the latest 7710 bios version 1.12.4?

I did it on my 7510, no issues.

 

Update on the Dell Touchpad Settings crashing at launch after the Creators' Update. It seems that only after making a brand new user account can I launch the settings menu without issue, but the changes don't carry over to my main user account. It might have to do with the edits to my registry/services. I'll keep digging.

 

Not sure if this thread or the "Hands on Dell Precision 7710" thread are best, but I'm ready to pull the trigger on one of these. Can't justify spending so much more for the 7720.

Now that some time has passed, I was hoping for advise on the AMD FirePro vs Nvidia Quadro choices? Both general performance and driver maturity in Windows 10 and Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop/Premier programs. Many thanks in advance!
