Timeline in 1803 is great and a really useful feature, tying together all your Windows 10 devices (via the Microsoft Account) to show what you were working on, browsing etc.
The rest is mostly visual, looks pretty but not mandatory. Edge is usefully improved, too.

Gaming PC done too. No drama at all. Edge is using less resources it seems. Don't use the timeline thing but will look at it sometime. It reinstated Superfetch indexing which I promptly stop and disable  |

If you've got a mid-to-high spec machine you shouldn't really notice Superfetch. If you've got your Windoze installation on a SSD that's even better. Having said that, you're probably not causing any problems by disabling it, but the chances are, on a decently-specced gaming machine, you're not gaining anything either. I'm not a Micro$haft advocate, by the way, and I still prefer Chrome to Edge. (Sorry, Martin.  ) |

(Sorry, Martin. ) Neither am I, but since we are a Microsoft Volume Licence customer at work, I get to play with all their goodies and I am predisposed to some of their world class products like Server 2016, Exchange Server 2016 etc. Edge or Chrome, doesn't matter, both are good. It's always wise to have both on any machine since some sites work better on one or the other. |

My Time has come !
Just got the screen message that a 'feature update' (v 1803) is ready to load.
I think I've backed-up all the file that Windows major updates usually trash (e.g. Asset/DBpoweramp) so scheduled it for 11.00

I've manually restored the necessary files - I do wonder why Asset uses a folder that Windows obviously regards as expendable. Conversely maybe Windows shouldn't be messing with those files. Looking forward to all those wonderful new features |

It's probably poor application writing. Good software should never write to protected Windows directories. None of the software I used batted an eyelid at the 1803 update.

Question probably for Martin. I've got 4 Windows 10 machines - 3 have the 2018-05 Cummulative 1709 update x64 installed successfully. One machine seems to be going around in a loop - Downloading - Installing - Initialising - Downloading - Installing etc. It was trying yesterday too, the update history shows is was a failed install attempt. Maybe the code 0x8024200d mean something. Any ideas or do I let it carry on trying?
Edit: troubleshooter found a Defender update to install, when that installs maybe the Cumm Upd will install.

It seems it's not uncommon. There are some suggestions here... |

Nothing's worked. Corrupt files have been found but sfc can't fix them. There's nothing much on the machine so I'm resetting it.

There is 'WSUS Installer' but it sounds like, if there's nothing of use, do a Windows 10 reset to start it factory fresh again.
We've got over half our computers at work over to 1803 so far. It's proving to be quite stable.

All done now. The reset worked.

Decided the boss's pc hadn't been turned on for a while and she is awful at updating, putting it off and off and off
Then annoyed when she cannot use it whilst updating
About half an hour later we are at 24%
This may take some time

Took at least an hour with the odd Yes, and other clicks.

It's your job to get everything perfect. There is only a need for conversation if anything goes wrong. This, of course, will be your fault no matter what it is and who caused it  |
