AU: 3 weeks on- Who had problems/Did not/Yet to install?

[Logethica]

It has been 3 Weeks since the release of the Windows Anniversary Update,and a multitude of problems associated with it have been well publicised online..

The after effects of the AU varied dramatically from person to person.Some were completely unaffected while others experienced issues that very nearly wrecked their machine..
Of those that fell into the latter category some reverted back to an earlier Windows OS,while others completely ditched Windows in favour of Apple or Linux.
There are some (myself included) that are still holding off from allowing the AU onto their system,

Did YOU have problems associated with the Windows AU?

There are pending major updates to AU -- so why install it until M$ sorts it all out ?

I downloaded AU ISO & did in-place upgrade & later clean install...no probs.

Did the upgrade the day it got released 3 weeks ago. No clean install, just over the old version upgraded. Not a single problem until now. all i can say it that the machine is in fact realy faster and snappier than before the AU update. My gf have no single problem too. tryed it on my mother laptop but there was some network and graphic problems. needed to do a backup to the old win10 version. so i was just some of the lucky ones without a single problem.

I have done two clean installs and 3 upgrades so far around my area of AU, and so far all is well. Had a couple driver issues to tend too, and some settings that were changed to adjust back, but other then this, no major issues.

I'm waiting... it took me 362 days to get round to upgrading to 10!!

Voted for 'Not Yet Installed the AU - And I have no immediate plans to do so'. It's better to be safe than sorry. lol

 

[JakeXPMan]

No problem with that anniversary update, but I rolled back to 7 anyway, due to unrelated windows 10 slowdowns rats!

Voted NO: Problems with AU. Very happy with it I feel like it greatly increased Windows Defender's capabilities.

When I was on win10 the A.U. went through before I could even see it lol. Compared to 7, windows update worked normal again

How do you hold 10's updates from installing? I heard they are forced to run?

They're automatic and they run in the background as far as I'm aware...

The only issue I had with the update was my Xbox one wireless controller would connect and then immoderately disconnect but after some more Windows updates and googling for solutions it was suggested that I repair the devices. So I did that and now it works flawlessly again.

It also seemed to fix my nvidia blue screens I was getting whenever my laptop would resume from sleep which got quite annoying. Now I can have very long uptimes and I only restart for updates. I was so happy it got fixed cause I was honestly ready to throw my laptop out the window and get a MacBook

I block Windows updates with O&O ShutUp 10 and by killing certain M$ Services through ZoneAlarm Firewall, such as..
Windows Modules Installer / Windows Modules Installer Worker / Windows Update / Windows Installer

Installed here on two machines and both seem to be running smoothly with no problems as far as i can tell.

Oh awesome. A nice way to put the brakes on for a while until the Windows light turns green to go...

I updated to the AU the day it came out, I've had no problems at all.

Simple. Disabled Windows Update service on W10 Home\Pro.

A significant portion of users experienced problems with AU; AU is one of Microsoft's worst updates in the history of Windows. I am not sure which one is the very worst of all time in terms of problems\breakages, but AU has to be in the top 20.

What are some of the problems people have been running into? I've had nothing but a good experience with it.

 

[DardiM]

I checked : NO - I had no problems with the AU at all

I have got a neighbor that after the AU, could not anymore use the sleep function : PC keep 'always' in this mode if used

(Bat-DardiM resolved its problem)
