Windows 10 version 2004 rollout imminent

[blackice]

My power settings appears to have been changed unbeknownst to me, and I have fixed my slow startup/logon times by:

• turning off all sleep functions
• turning fast startup "Off" and then "On" again.

Things are back to normal again. I'm ready for the update when it's offered.

I think this can account for a lot of differences between performance for OS updates, and AVs for that matter. People on desktops do tend to have different experiences than those with more conservative power plans on laptops. I hate when anything messes with my power plan!

Incompatibility wit F.lux:

May 2020 Update: Blue/Green Squiggly lines bug reported

It appears that some Windows 10 users are having trouble with May 2020 Update and F.lux, a popular program that adjusts a display’s colour temperature. Users are reporting that Windows 10’s May 2020 Update is causing Blue/Green Squiggly lines on their secondary monitor. Windows 10 May 2020...

“We have been tracking an issue that has been reported for HDMI displays (mainly, TVs used as a secondary display) that doesn’t seem happen all the time. These are color artifacts and not “squiggly lines”,” Michael Herf from F.lux told us.

“Anytime there are a lot of changes in video drivers, some problems happen like these, and usually they are fixed quickly.”

The author of the app also confirmed that F.lux is working properly on single-display systems.

If you see squiggly lines or artifacts after upgrading to Windows 10 version 2004, you can try to update your GPU drivers, disable F.lux temporarily or you can also roll back to the previous version of Windows.

Assorted driver updates, e.g. mouse, just keep on coming ... like a leaky faucet.

You are receiving these by Windows Update?

Has successfully upgraded to version 2004 through Update Assistant.
And meet this error but it's ok because I do not use Onedrive

Hi! Anyone using G Data on 2004? I still have not upgraded and I am hesitant to do so.

We're still getting occasional updates, besides the Update Tuesday ones, on various devices here. I've never been keen to install major releases right away, sorry and thanks to those who are prepared to deal with any issues earlier, just don't have the time to re-install back-up images in case anything goes wrong. Have spent enough of my life sorting out IT issues, I could probably do with more practice, but prefer to avoid the hassle!

Windows 10 is an utter mess I always remain in fear that it will crash and I will completely loose my data that’s why have to take backup almost every 2-3 days, so far I have seen 1809 to be the most stable on my system at least, Microsoft should consider working on windows 10 stability rather than adding features. As of now windows 8.1 is far more stable and error and it eliminates a significant risk of unexpected crashing.

Since the Windows 10 Creators Update in 2017 Microsoft offered a Fresh Start feature in Windows Security which allowed users to re-install Windows 10 while keeping your data intact. Importantly the feature would not attempt to keep your existing apps, which would in many cases get rid of...

Since the last update I got on 2004 my sleep settings seem to be completely ignored. If I force sleep, I find my PC woken up the next time I walk in the room. I've had this happen before, but resolved with a restart. No dice this time.

And after learning to use event viewer a little better (and my critical thinking), it was Steam being installed on my new laptop and waking it up I think. Wake-on-lan disabled. Disregard, doesn't seem to be a 2004 issue.

I restored my system to 1903 this morning, after I discovered that the update to 2004 broke the Windows service called Workstation, causing errors when Macrium Reflect tried to back up multiple hard disks.

Was it a clean install of 2004?

 

[shmu26]

Was it a clean install of 2004?

No, I updated from 1903, using the official Windows ISO.

Most of the time I run Kubuntu (with Win10 in a virtual machine). I use my real Windows 10 partition mainly for making Macrium Reflect backups of the whole system. If it can't do that, it's not justifying its existence.

I am toying with the idea of installing Windows 7 instead. It's a bad idea security-wise, but I do a lot of faxing and I bought a USB fax modem from AliExpress but I can't get it to work on Windows 10 or Ubuntu. It supposedly has full support for Windows 7.

I created a installation media using media creation tool and was planning to install 2004 on my laptop. I have been using Ubuntu 20 since it was released and I am very happy with it. It is fast and stable. I experienced some issues with my Epson L3060 printer but I could live with that.
