I have just carried out a clean install of Windows 10 Pro on a Gigabyte Z790 D DDR4.
I installed the GCC to help with updates. It is a black window with illegible white writing, is there any way to make it follow my Windows theme please so I can read it? It doesn't seem to have any of the usual Windows controls like close/minimise/restore etc.
I pressed the "Update" button and a notice appeared saying "Need close GCC program!" Without any controls or buttons Task Manager is the only way to do that but that closes it completely. What am I supposed to do at that point please?

1st of all why are you running windows 10 on that board? Unless Microsoft fix it windows 10 it doesn't know how to switch CPU's. It sounds like you were running it before.
All I can say is that this is a user to user forum. Support really doesn't come here. I would contact support. They will work with you. But they might ask you the same question. Why are you running windows 10?
Yes I still running windows 10 on my main computer. But it doesn't have dual CPU's. It is a 2066 with a i9 CPU. Plus I'm getting ready to do a clean install of windows 11 on it too. Plus when it comes to drivers I don't update drivers other then the Video driver. "If it isn't broke don't fix it"

What am I missing? Why can't he run windows 10 on the Z790 D. This is a single CPU MB.
Windows 10 is still supported until 10/25.
@Jeff-Gaines,
What kind of monitor set up are you using? What video card are you using, or are you using onboard video. What resolution are you running?

The CPU he is running has two CPU's in it. (Performance-cores and Efficient-cores) If he is only to do normal stuff he can run windows 10. But if he is doing normal stuff and gaming he really should be running windows 11.
The Efficient is for normal stuff and the Performance is for like gaming. Windows 10 doesn't have that feature to switch between cores. Like I said if he is only doing normal stuff it really doesn't matter.
Here is example I run a game Anno 1800 and having no problem because I was running windows 11 on 12th gen CPU. On the Ubisoft forums people having problem with the game crashing. They were running the game using windows 10. I said I was running windows 11. Some of the people started to upgrade to windows 11 no more game crashes.
