One step forward, er, one step back. Nobody gets too far like that
Microsoft's build 18362.356 (KB4515384) for its Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903) rolled out on Tuesday with security improvements for Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, networking tech and input devices – and a CPU usage fix that, for some, has broken desktop search.
The security tweaks address a variety of speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities known as microarchitecture data sampling (MDS) for 32-bit x86 versions of Windows. Intel dealt with the CVEs at issue – CVE-2019-11091, CVE-2018-12126, CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2018-12130 – in May.
The update, released concurrently with Build 17763.737 for the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (v1809), also includes security enhancements for assorted Windows components.
Microsoft says its update fixes a high CPU usage problem associated with SearchUI.exe reported by a small number of users who disabled searching the web via Windows Desktop Search.
But its fix has nixed SearchUI.exe for some. Those griping claim SearchUI.exe, a part of Cortana, won't launch after installing KB4515384.
"What a mess – I had the original issue with SearchUI.exe and it sending my CPU to unparalleled heights and showing a big black pane of nothing," wrote Reddit user cyrenaic101 in a complaint thread. "So I uninstalled that turd. And then here comes the 'fix' KB4515384. Search completely broken…"
Similar complaints surfaced in another Reddit discussion of the updates.
Among those who claim to have undone the snafu, solutions involve either reverting to an older build and blocking updates, enabling Bing search via the Windows Registry or replacing the Cortana Cache folder with a version from a previous working build.
In November last year, Microsoft published a blog post from Michael Fortin, corporate vice president of Windows, addressing concerns about the quality of Windows updates after a series of problems that culminated in the re-release of its Windows 10 October 2018 update.
Despite the problematic release, Fortin maintained that the quality of Windows releases has been improving. "Over the last three years one of our key indicators of product quality – customer service call and chat volumes – has steadily dropped even as the number of machines running Windows 10 increased," he said.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ®
nothjing went wrong with the download- that’s how to do it- then just right click on it and choose ‘burn disk image’ that should burn the iso correctly-
Yep, yep, and yep! :)
Yep, yep, and yep! :)
Okay, I'm doing that now. The file I'm burning says 'image' in the file name. There's a second big download file along with it. Should I burn that file to disk, as well?
There's even a third one, but it appears to contain zero data.
Thanks (I think) to the latest WIN10 update, my HP wireless laserjet printer is no longer wireless.
I DESPISE Microsoft, but am not computer savvy enough to install Linux. I’m sure I’d set the computer on fire if I tried.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
Now when you get it booted up you can jump on firefox, search for FR, and log back in here with linux! :)
there should only be one file- the .iso file - I gotta leave for a couple of hours- unfortunately- hopefully openurmind can help for a bit-
what is the name of other file?
Trust me, it is not that hard at all anymore. Just a few clicks and you are off and running. Holler if you need the detailed step by step. :)
Should I also burn the second file to the disk?
Oh you opened it up, go back to the one file that holds all those. It will be the one file total it downloaded. that is the one to right click on and “burn disk image”.
i downloaded it from this page
https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=267
and it only had one .iso file -
forgot to mention, you have to use the right one- it depends on your system whether it’s 32 bit or 64 bit- probably if you have newer computer it’s 64- the page i listed is for 64 bit
The download “package” should have been just one file. You want to burn this one file to the disk as the image. It will automatically open that up into the separate files it needs to read as it burns it to the disk and make it bootable for you.
I didn’t open either of the files. I just see them listed in my downloads folder. I burned the one called ISO image to the disk, but not the other file.
Should I?
Okay, I’ve now restarted the computer twice with the Linux disk inserted, but nothing. How do I boot from the disk?
But that's not what happened on my end. My computer downloaded three files. I burned the one called 'ISO image'.
I'm about to say eff this sh!t, and toss this $400 piece of crap in the alley.
Wait, No problem at all. If you don’t mind lets walk through it? Delete those and the disk and lets start over if you are game? Something is wrong with that download if it was more than just one file. Bob gave you the correct link for what you want. Here it is again, I would download it from the kernel.com mirror site.
https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=267
Sorry kernel.org
Okay, I’ll delete my previous downloads and start fresh with a new DVD blank.
I’ll use the link you provided this time. Thank you.
My privilege! Now we will make sure we are making this correctly first so there is no question about the disk being correct, then if it still does not boot we need to check your boot order on your computer to make sure boor from CD is first in the order. They are always default as set up that way but there may be some reason why it is not and it needs to be put back in default order. No problem. :)
Are you familiar with getting into the BIOS setup on that machine? Just asking in case we need to do that to set the boot order. If not then what make and model is it and I will get that and list exactly how to go do it.
Okay, I did as you suggested, but the download time at kernel.org was over four hours. I bailed on that after about ten minutes, then went back into my downloads and the extra two Linux files were gone.
Alrighty, why not see if I can just burn the one file to disk and see what happens?
I’ll get back to you in a minute.
