Heavy Attacks

sgtsgt

I haven't played in awhile, but I used to be able to do a heavy attack by holding down my left mouse button until the attack was charged.
My PC has updated to Windows 10 Home edition and now I can no longer do heavy attacks. When I hold down my left mouse button, my character just readies his weapon and does nothing until I release the mouse button. Has something changed in how heavy attacks are done now or could this, as I'm thinking, be an issue with Windows 10?

Thanks in advance,

    What weapon? Different types work differently.

    My bow does the same thing, i have to release the mouse button to attack.
    My dual wield maces will do the heavy attack automatically when the animation is over.

    Of course, you can always animation cancel a heavy attack ...

    I'm currently using a bow. I will try another weapon and see what happens.

    Thanks

    That was it thank you again. My two handed sword does the heavy attack. I guess bows don't?

    @anyone :
    ermm, the Bow has Always done that for heavy attacks - hold bow drawn until you want to release (certainly for me, anyway) (just as an aside to this - if you were drawing a bow in RL would you blindly hold it drawn and wonder why it does not release? - you have to let go to make it work . . . ).
    Staves, because of their very nature of operation do not Store Up a heavy attacks and then release it - the heavy attack is constant from start to finish ( it runs dry or you release the button ).

    however, i have at various times over the last year of playing, had the Effect happen after the Animation, sometimes a few seconds late, it's refered to as Combat Lag by most here, and is fairly common. also common, to me, is attacks stacking if i mash the buttons too quickly. be careful of this - ive had countless times of accidental firing off stuff unintentionally. sometimes its funny - most times it not.
