MS W10 October Update

Some cautions and content.

from WinCustomize Forums

I've been reading about this upcoming October update to W10. It won't be especially huge, just the same, 10 or so Gigs might give someone a problem of an incomplete download.

This is a very useful tool for the upcoming W10 October update. You may need this if the above occurs: Windows will not tell you this is happening and Windows might get borked. (https://download.cnet.com/blog/download-blog/microsoft-warns-windows-10-users-to-free-up-storage-space-for-the-big-october-update/?tag=nl.e785&s_cid=e785&ttag=e785&ftag=TRE410dd70).

Make sure you know how to reinstall Windows, and make a disk image BEFORE the update on an external storage device. Use Acronis to clone your disc, and clone your disc before any big update.

Doing this also mitigates any ransomware infection.

This link also will allow you to download the October update early, although I really wouldn't advise doing so.

MS will start rolling out the update on October 9th.

So what will be in the update How to Geek gives a summary here: https://www.howtogeek.com/353165/whats-new-in-windows-10s-redstone-5-update-available-fall-2018/

I do not have any problems with Windows 10 1809.  It installed itself last night.  Edge is not having any issues here.  Windows drag no longer malfunctions and the min/max close buttons are all working in WindowBlinds.

Sorry I do not have any MS FUD feed for anyone.

All these years I could never get Deskscapes to work. It does load and work as it should but if I decide to turn it off or add a static wallpaper the screen goes black and I have to restart the computer.

I had the problem that is described here , The missing files all came back after a second quick reboot of the system.

as directed by Microsoft website. If this doesn't work they also said if you go to user folder and click on the user name the files would be there in the individual folders for that user.

Is anyone surprised?

For mine, MS is neglecting its duty of care to its users/clients, surely there is some legal come-back to force MS to behave more responsibly when creating and issuing these bi-annual updates.  I have disabled Automatic Updates and will only install them manually when it's declared safe to do so.  However, given MS' attitude and record of late, its failure on so many levels to do right by users, I won't be holding my breath.

Put bluntly, Microsoft doesn't give a stuff about its users, just power and control, its quest for world domination, and Satya Nadella is a parasite who Bill Gates should get rid of before he destroys from within the company he built from the ground up.
