“Update of the Damned” LOL gotta love The Register’s sense of humor.
Got the 1809 on Windows Home, on a typical personal computer.
I use Linux but I have windows 10 on a separate hard drive and when I put it in the computer 1803 or 1809 fails to install ,don’t remember which one and don’t care
I’m on 1903
How do you check to see which Windows updates have been installed on your Win10 machine?
1809 installed on 1/25/19.
Got two on 1809 and one still inexplicably on 1803, with no real way to tell why. At the very least I think it’s time Microsoft started opening up as to what the hell is really going on.
I have Windows Server on an old pc I bought from Goodwill for $80. No kb or mon, I turn it on and remote to it just to update Family Tree Maker from my Ancestry account. That is only once every 3 to 6 months.
Other than that, I have no use for any Microsoft Operating System.
Staying w 2009 Win Pro x64 on all my 3 industrial/commercial machines; screw Win-10 garbage/trash/shit/filth/junk.
I have a Win10 tablet. Sometimes it updates several times during the day. I know because I have to re-log in. About once a week I have to reboot manually because an installion did not complete the rebooting.
I only use the tablet for online radio. Win10 is too frustrating to do much else. For most regular computing/web surfing I use my Win7 desktop and laptop.
We have 1809 on two out of three of our Windows 10 computers. I haven’t allowed the update on my Windows 10 virtual machine. It caused severe problems on my primary computer with a bug that put it in a loop with harmless software within an ISO file that it was unable to modify.
I’m still on 1803. Should I hold off on any more updates, and how to?
Regards,
I got 1809 two days ago.
These Version Updates always change something about how my Edge Browser works on Free Republic.
A year ago, a new Version made the scroll dial on my mouse suddenly and randomly jump forward or backward several clicks when I used it.
The next Version fixed that, but replaced that issue with an Enter Key issue, that put my cursor on one line, then jumped to a new line as soon as I started to type.
1809 fixed the line jump, but now when I post Comments, chunks of sentences are chopped off, and I have to refresh the Comments page to get the whole Comment to Post.
Also, with 1809 I now get screen freeze inside the FR Comment Box when I’m composing, a new headache that can only be solved by doing a select-copy operation, which unfreezes it.
The good news - the Version before 1809 wiped out my ability to post photos at Free Republic. 1809 gives me back the one step photo post operation I used before.
More good news - Edge always works flawlessly when you use Microsoft products and websites.
I run 1809 on every machine we have at home and at work (roughly 7) and every system I work on for customers gets fully updated to 1809 before it goes back to them.
Have not had any problems with it since it was re-launched.
Plus the current Media Creation Tool for installing Windows 10 installs directly to 1809. That works great also.
Much ado about nothing.
The majority of issues are machines running very old releases of Windows 10 that had other issues keeping them from updating properly at all... just like any other version of Windows throughout history. If it gets messed up, updates don’t work properly. Imagine that.
My first update took 8 hours of download. The next went overnight and was a failure. I now have a notice that I must download it by March. Buying something new. I’m not even sure if I know what I’m talking about.
Just reading this thread hurts... lol
Even though I have to re-adjust the choke, reset the points, adjust the brakes, adjust the clutch, and re-tighten the screws on the starter solenoid every time I drive it... I refuse to give it up.
Then in late December a web search uncovered this solution -- a "Creators update", whatever that means. The process I followed is item three on this list:
5 Ways to Update to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
Voila -- problems solved. This bypassed whatever was choking the standard update process completely -- it did take several hours to complete.
The only bad thing that happened was it clobbered my desktop a bit and reverted all my window display settings back to factory default, a bit of goofiness that took less then ten minutes to resolve.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
