Latest patch for 1803 (windows10.0-kb4499183-x64_7fdc0264a71ec84ab0558095fc09dc6e1c023549) took about an hour to install then nearly 24 hours to ‘repair’ the installation before I had to call it a day and install 1903 Enterprise to a new drive.
So that makes it, 3 Win10 re-installs in a year, and 2 hard-drives broken.
Noticed that even with a group policy with most things disabled (+ the settings) both the Gamebar and “Windows Insider” processes started up. Also with the full setup done offline to configure everything before going online, it still went out and grabbed Razer Synapse 3 with all its ‘fluff’.
Time to read up on running Windows Server for gaming I think.

Looks like my Calc.exe is broken in 1903 too. I wonder what other built-in apps will be broken for me along with Snip and Sketch and Calc?
Stupid question, but where do you see which version you’re currently on?
Settings > System > About

I accidentally deleted the WPSystem etc. protected folders on my D: drive in doing some cleanup and the D: drive is no longer a choosable destination for installing/moving Windows Store apps to.
Anyone know how to fix this so it’s available again?
I would try rebooting, and if that doesn’t work unassign then reassign the drive letter to see if Windows readds it.

Went to Settings, Storage and D: was appearing in the dropdown for default location for Apps. Changed it to D: drive. Downloaded an app to D: drive and was able to move/install to there again.
Ha ha you suckers are using Windows 10? I am still running Windows 7!
Oh wait. Eh. :sigh:
Huh, apparently I’m on 1809. Guess they don’t think I’m ready for the upgrade yet.
At this point it won’t automatically be installed; you have to press the “Check for Updates” button. And you have to be set to the correct branch (semi-annual channel, I think? maybe targeted?). And you have to not have a system that has the update blocked for known issues. So, yeah, you probably aren’t ready :-D
That’s fine, the latest update I have has actually been more stable. I use DisplayFusion for multi-monitor taskbars, and before this update, I’d have to restart every few days because it’d crash for some reason. Now I’ve been running for over a week with no issues (though I still restart it once every week or so anyway).
One hour before I am due to leave for the airport where I was hoping to use the laptop on the plane…
This is the second time I have experienced this exact scenario, I suspect foul play!
At this rate I am going to have to do a forced manual shut down so I can actually leave. I am sure that will not be a good idea, but you leave me with no choice Microsoft.
…and phew, it completed most of the rest of it pretty quickly. About 40 minute to get to 30%, about 15 minutes to do the rest. My heart!
Windows 10 is the only modern operating system that forces the user to schedule their life around what MS decides.
Wait, I have had my Android device update on me randomly.
That would require an android device that actually gets upgrades :P
I’ve never used an android device that didn’t just notify you an update was available and wait for your approval to upgrade.
I get updates every few weeks.
But I can defer them indefinitely via the popup messages I think.
I’ve gone Nexus-Nexus-Nexus-Pixel over the last eight years. IDK what y’all even complaining about.
Samsung is quite nice, never nagging about updates cause you hardly ever get them, including security patches.
