Windows 10 1809 re-released

[shmu26]

You can get it now, with Microsoft Update Assistant tool, but MS announces:

"We will offer the October Update to users via Windows Update when data shows your device is ready and you will have a great experience. If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we will not install the update until that issue is resolved, even if you “Check for updates,” so you avoid encountering any known problems. "

Windows 10’s October Update Returns, Promises Not to Delete Your Files

My machine doesn't qualify yet through Windows Update. I got the 1803 cumulative update instead. The time will come for this old machine, sooner or later... . I'll let MS decide. For now I'm keeping Mr. Lenovo Laptop slim and fast as it will go! No problemos aqui!

This is some what positive step for people. Least it won't be a forced install. I had to disable Updates in services to stop 1809 being installed. Obviously it's enabled now, just didn't want the additional aspects of failures from the new OS update.

Update 1809 was never an automatic to date, it had to be forced installed by manually triggering the Windows Update or by getting the ISO from Microsoft.

Here is an update on the update.

Microsoft confirms File Association bug in Windows 10 will be patched on Tuesday | TheINQUIRER

That's next Tuesday!

 

[Burrito]

Thanks for the alert.

I used to always check for updates. No more.

With Microsoft, Norton, and Malwarebytes.... getting software updates has sometimes been an ordeal in the past year.

I've learned with each methods to delay or alter the normal course of software updates.

It's just easier to delay and not be part of the Beta group.

This isn't caused by any of the updates released today, was actually a confirmed bug days ago.

Well, maybe it is unclear as it is from the Inquirer or maybe it's the way I stated it.

was actually a confirmed bug days ago

And you didn't post that for your friends here?

Killed drag-and-drop on 3 systems. And guess what, not a thing installed on the systems. All 100 % re-fried Windows 10. All by itself, messing with itself. I'm sure there is more stuff. Just wait for the reports to filter in.

 

[DeepWeb]

I'm trying to install it. I think upgrading Windows 10 is one of the most stressful things I do every year. They haven't learned a thing. I still run into the same errors. I just can't help but think what anyone less savvy would do in those situations.

By God's grace you are saved. lucky you

Surprisingly given Microsoft’s promise to improve the quality of Windows updates, KB4464455 doesn’t actually fix many of the bugs reported by Windows 10 version 1809 users lately.

Again, no patches for widespread issues that made the rounds lately.

Both updates come with one known issue which hits all systems and that for some reason was ignored by Microsoft for this release.

“After installing this update, some users cannot set Win32 program defaults for certain app and file type combinations using the Open with… command or Settings > Apps > Default apps. In some cases, Microsoft Notepad or other Win32 programs cannot be set as the default,” it says.

So if MS is not happy that you have another AV does it means you don't get the update? They can always say your AV is incompatible, right?

But the UAC prompt in SUA accounts seems to be working better.

They can't say that a lot, because of antitrust laws. Only if they really don't like your choice of AV.
