Grab it now since they might break it further after 2 monthsI wait 2 months.
I'm updating it that way. I started at 11 AM and now it's almost 7 PM here, still not finished. If it's not done until 10 PM, I'm cancelling it and trying again tomorrow through the Windows Update.Why are you guys doing the USB thing? It's no longer necessary. Use Media Creation Tool to download the iso, double click on iso to mount it, click setup.exe, you just saved yourself many many steps. 30 min upgrade.
Unlike Upgrade through Windows Update, it resets your registry. But unlike a clean install you keep all of your programs and drivers and settings. It feels just like a clean install. Never do through Windows Update and never do a full clean install. It's not worth it. In-place upgrade is the way to go.
I disabled my AV and didn't touch it for a while. That helped me get it done fast.I'm updating it that way. I started at 11 AM and now it's almost 7 PM here, still not finished. If it's not done until 10 PM, I'm cancelling it and trying again tomorrow through the Windows Update.
I had problems with Rufus, so I switched to Universal USB Installer - Easy as 1 2 3 | USB Pen Drive Linuxthen burn ISO to Rufus software to USB drive in UEFI
Same here (don't have AV, but disabled WFC, VoodooShield, NVT OSA and NVT ERP 4) and managed to complete update in 45 mins. That's on a 10 year old PC, albeit with an SSDI disabled my AV and didn't touch it for a while. That helped me get it done fast.

Just format USB to FAT32, use ISO with install.wim and it should be able to pick up anything, UEFI/MBR/GPT.
Would you say that it has improved a considerable amount compared to prior the update?I have to say that I am liking M Edge
For any that care: I did a couple of straight 1803 upgrades through Windows Update on systems with CF installed at my settings. I tried various things and the only issue (not an issue really, just a popup) was on a system with IE set as the default browser- in this case there was a popup that the Home page was being changed- and this actually referred to a Microsoft Edge "Please Use Me" thingy.
But other than that there was no difference in having CF active at my settings or having it totally deactivated.
As a sidenote, already knowing that you guys are light-years ahead of me on browser choices, I have to say that I am liking M Edge.
I also only have more alerts with Controlled Folder Access and added those apps:I use CF with your settings and updated fine in 2+ hrs total with no problems except those I'm having with Controlled Folder Access (it could be user so it's off now!). It even saved my settings and default Firefox browser. And I liked Edge before the update - it's snappy and has a clean interface, my #2 though I'm trying to be Brave now and like that as well. Sayonara Google!
It should still be useful as long as you do not exclude malicious software or get hit with an attack that will perform RCE into an excluded process.So i'm not sure if Controlled Folder Access is still useful when you have to create so many exceptions.
