Windows 10 - Windows 10 Creators Update - MT's Bug Tracker

I don't use 3rd party AVs but from what i saw , no major issues with up to date version. (obviously versions made before CU are likely to get issues)

AVG Internet Security v2017 is running flawlessly here (v17.3.3011 (build 17.3.3443.0)). Has been noticed by that fancy new security center from the beginning, did an upgrade of my Win10 installation on my laptop, and a fresh install of Win 10 CU on my main PC.

EDIT: While HitmanPro scan, PC (laptop) performance drops to almost unusability. Once scan is finished, everything comes back to normality.
ZAM has come down from 21:04 to 07:53 this time (I removed a game though), and HMP went up from 10:58 to 18:13.

Avast & Emsisoft is running flawlessly here.(btw avast is not my Main AV).

Hello,
no problem with Qihoo 360 TS (no problem before the recent 360 release for win cu, nor after)
no problem with Comodo FW (cfw update just before).
I did the upgrade with both products installed.

Check with your vendor that their latest builds support Creators Update.

Uninstall your security - I recommend this method
Disable all protection
Keep protection running​

Last night, I updated a PC to Creators Update with Avast disabled and have yet to experienced anything unusual. I did disable all shields prior to running the update. - See my Edit a few posts down.

Software bugs that are build specific, are an issue with the Antivirus and up to the vendors to fix. Again, check the latest version supports Creators Update.

Windows 10 may have been updating/installing Store apps or checking for system updates.

Edit to my post:
I created a new local Admin account, because the old one didn't open the Start menu. Everything's working now.

I strongly advise to uninstall any AV or security software before proceeding with a major update. While there are mostly little problems with other softs, security softwares tends to install to the "core" of the system and can be broke after the update or even interfere with the upgrade itself.

This is how i advice to proceed with a major update:
- uninstall of any AV or security software and restart
- using removal tools if available then restart
- proceeding with the update

Of course if you can nothing beats a clean install. Might take longer, but the system usually works much better.

As for me, no problems with the latest version of Norton Security and Malwarebytes Premium.

My computer with Kaspersky updated to Creators update no issue's, but my older 2nd laptop which my other family members uses with Eset i had reinstall Eset as it was using 100% cpu usage of it not sure if the real time protection was actually working as i could not get the gui to open.

A reinstall of it seem to fix that issue.

I had to uninstall EIS and reinstall but since then no drama at all 100% fine.

My AV is Windows Defender so no problems for sure

KIS 2017 patch 'e' - Trusted Applications Mode doesn't work - blocks task manager, explorer and some other system apps.

It's a fresh installation of KIS.

I prefer to wait a little before upgrade to CU...
Several people experienced software troubles with it and the last time I upgraded to a major update in its "first days" it literally trashed my pc performance (TH 1511).
So, I prefer to wait when will be "forced" by microsoft

Emsisoft AntiMalware before and SecureAPlus now: no problem.
