Microsoft Rolls Out Windows 10 April 2018 Update (build 1803)

[coonbro]

''Microsoft began rolling out Windows 10 April 2018 Update. This isn't an ordinary "patch Tuesday" update, but a major update akin to "Fall Creators Update," which updates the build of the operating system to 1803''

operating system ? NO its a service not a OS . even Microsoft calls it a service .

pretty sad Microsoft offered it for free and still had to use underhanded tactics and strong arm tactics to ''trick '' folks in to the upgrade [that should of been your first clue to stay away] and then like said above they seem to want to fill it up with all that crapware bloat then improve the ''OS'' part of things . if anything the ''OS'' part is more degraded . just ask cortana ..lol...

hay Microsoft just offer a solid real OS and if we want all that crapware make it a optional download . then now with there roll over updating [that's you now roll over and take them up the a$$] that you take them all or take nothing then after so many days you have to take them

see they learned with trying to release windows 10 real fast to get rid of you selecting the updates you want and decline the ones you don't and are now able to slip anything in good or for bad .

lets face it if it was not for microsofts strangle hold on the PC games you would have no real reason to even use it . Linux can do the rest just as good and 98.9% is free to use . I just keep a copy of 7 .vista and xp each on ther own on a HD just for gaming use don't even allow it to update or go on line unless necessary , and that's rare . heck I did not even let them activate . install all programs off the retail disks or pendrives . use Linux for the rest of the days workings .

windows is a bloated joke anymore think how back in the XP days how folks whined how proprietary and intrusive it was , man xp now seems open source compared to 10 as a service

 

[Octopuss]

I will wait a few weeks or more before trying this. I'm sure there will be some bugs I'll like to avoid

 

[TheLostSwede]

No problems updating. Task View actually seems like an improvement. Minor changes to a lot of things, but nothing earth shattering.

Make sure to turn a bunch of options off. After the update I got some options flipped on "automatically" For example. Cortana.

And I got flack from certain users stating this was not true, well they can go eat dirty socks for all I care. I'll keep my 7, then LTSB

 

[INSTG8R]

I got a a few pages at start up that let me turn it all off. Cortana was the very first one. They’re not hiding it...

She’s not REALLY off. That ability went away over a year ago. She requires registry editing to make it real.

Yeah I have the regedit but I’m not that paranoid to care TBH.

 

[Easo]

So... The people here speaking about LTSB.
Do you have an Enterprise agreement? I really, really doubt that.
P.S.
Upgrade went smoothly, everything working as of now.

''Focus Assist is a feature that lets you keep your focus on work (or productive tasks), and prevents you from being sucked into endless scrolling through social-media or other trivial activity, when you're supposed to be working.''

Also Fast Startup was automatically turned on again after updating. That option does not go well with my old ass TUF X99 board. Every time I have that on I get BSOD at boot up.

This recent update is giving me anti-aliasing issues with my nVidia GT630M, when I use Flight Simulator X:SE. It was perfect before the update, which I received yesterday (April 30, 2018).

I tried everything but still get jagged edges around textures.

Am I the only one with this issue from the update?

Thanks,

Braden

I love the add games and use power profile feature

no telling what you think you got turned off but is really still on for Microsoft . that's why its the malware service called windows 10 - no way I can trust it or Microsoft now

You might want to check your tinfoil hat, it may be on too tight.

 

[Alexandrus]

The title is wrong.
It's version 1803, the actual build is 17134.1, at the moment.

 

[coonbro]

so then why are guys posting about that here ? I know my tin foil hat aint the cause is it ?? thet turn it back on wile you on line and get your stuff as fast as they can then you see its all auto on again and your boing back to turn it off ??

ya, tin foil hat ..lol... keep using it and enjoy it . high speed internet they can grab your data faster then you can get it turned back off ... like I say i'll never use it and would have to hate your guts to recommend using it .

in the end its your data and privacy not mine under 10

enjoy

Arrr, bugger off, mate. Come back when ya OS is worth tha golden coin.

 

[TheOne]

I like some of the new features, like the ability to set audio output for each program, I also like some of the removals, like Home Group.

Laptop (HM65)(Local Account) with the upgrade reverted some settings like Fast Start, desktop (Z170)(Microsoft Account) retained most settings.

She’s not REALLY off. That ability went away over a year ago. She requires registry editing to make it real.

Or Group Policy with Pro, you can also disable the Lock Screen.

Upgrade went without a hitch on 6 systems here, with 2 minor exceptions. As with INSTG8R, my shortcut arrows came back. Winaero took care of that quickly. And once again, my Windows 7 Microsoft games disappeared, but Winaero quickly took care of that too - and recovered all my statistics.

operating system ? NO its a service not a OS . even Microsoft calls it a service .

Of course it's an OS and Microsoft calls it an OS. "Windows as a service" is how they build, deploy and maintain the "operating system".

in the end its your data and privacy not mine under 10

My data is safe and secure. And so is my privacy - at least from Microsoft - so is yours, unless you subscribe and connect through an ISP and have a cell phone that is - then you need to be worried about your ISP and cell carrier, not Microsoft, for they know way more about you, including real name, real street address and billing information. And your cell carrier knows where you've been, where within a few feet you are standing, which way you are heading and how fast you are traveling! And you're worried about Microsoft?

no way I can trust it or Microsoft now

Then by all means, uninstall it and never use it again. We won't mind. And I agree, keep wearing that tinfoil hat. And keep a sharp eye on that small flashy thing in the distance outside your window.

Arrr, bugger off, mate. Come back when ya OS is worth tha golden coin.

As far as I am aware, this site does not support piracy. It is really, really hard for someone to legally run LTSB at home.
So let me ask again, how are people here doing it?
P.S.
Your dislike of OS does not matter in this question nor it can be used to approve piracy.

AtiFlash from cmd/Powershell broken since updating this morning..tried on multiple PC's that updated today,AtiFlash and AtiWinFlash

 

[Makaveli]

i've been trying to install this for the last two weeks.

But it always fails with error code

Last failed install attempt on ‎4/‎26/‎2018 - 0xc1900101

and I don't feel like doing a clean install just for this build.

Uninstall your video drivers normally through the Control Panel.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v17085-released Run DDU, Normal mode, then go to options and tick "Enable Safe Mode Dialog". Restart DDU, let it restart into safe mode, uninstall the rest of your drivers, then restart again. Install newest/latest supported driver. When installing driver, tick the box for a clean install.

Fall Creator broke my Win10 so bad that the OS actually failed and couldn't be repaired. Hopefully this one doesn't do anything stupid like that.

This one seems to have blasted the OS on my 7900X system. What a crock!

 

[hotrippr]

No problems here, so far... except, seems they made the Edge Favorites Bar icons show the name and icon. Cannot seem to find the option to hide the names on all the icons at once... ended up doing it one at a time.

Yeah maybe they'll add the option back in later. I also did one at a time but I am content with Edge now, youtube tabs no longer auto play until you go to the tab, happy with the update so far.
