  1. BUG: Windows 10 Build Version 1809 Rollback Can Brick Offline SSDs


    This is just a bug report for Microsoft devs to fix the issue for future updates. It's unfortunate for me since I have to RMA the SSD now, but at least I can help out by giving a warning to Microsoft and other people in case they may come across this issue.


    Basically, if you set an SSD offline in Disk Management and then rollback your W10 build to a previous version, your SSD may brick when you try to bring it back online. "Brick" in this case means that it becomes completely dead. It will no longer be detected by both the OS and the BIOS.


    Of course, YMMV, but I highly suggest that this gets fixed in a future update so that possibility does not exist. You can't even recover your data because the SSD completely dies.

    How to rollback from 1809 to 1803.

    Hi Wickiwiz,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    To get clarity of this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly reply with the answers to the questions below.

    1. What is the make and model of your system?
    2. When was the system upgraded to1809?
    You would be able to revert back to previous windows within the first ten days after the upgrade installed, you can Downgrade Windows 10 1809 to 1803 using the recovery options. However, if you performed clean installation
    you would not be able to rollback to earlier build version of windows 10.

    Follow the below steps, if you have upgrade your Windows 10 within 10 days.

    1. Open Windows Settings using
      Windows + I keyboard.
    2. Click on Update & Security then
      Recovery on the left.
    3. Now click on Get started under ‘Go back to the previous version of Windows 10.
    4. This will prompt why you are going back to the previous build, With Options
    • My apps or devices don’t work on this build
    • Earlier builds seemed easier to use
    • Earlier builds seemed faster
    • Earlier builds seemed more reliable
    • For another reason
    5. Select any preferred answer or Select for another Reason (also there is option to tell Microsoft more about your reasons if you wish) and click
    Next to continue.

    6. When you click on next Windows 10 will prompt you the chance to check for updates in case that a new update is available to fix the current issue you’re having.

    7. If you’ve decided to roll back, click
    No, thanks to continuing the rollback processed.

    8. On Next Screen Read What you need to know carefully.

    9. This will instruct you after going back you need to
    reinstall some apps, programs.

    10. Also, lose any changes you have made after upgrade to windows 10 October 2018 update.

    11. After reading this carefully click next to proceed one more step to Uninstall Windows 10 version 1809.

    12. Now Windows 10 will remind you that you need to know the password of the user account in the previously installed operating system ( windows 10 1803).

    13. Click Go back to earlier build to begin the windows 1809 rollback process.

    14. And the setup will take over and roll back your PC to the previous version of Windows 10 version 1809.

    I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Regards,

    Microsoft enables offline play for Windows 10 games

    Most Windows 10 games will support offline play, but you'll have to work at it.


    BUG: Windows 10 Build Version 1809 Rollback Can Brick Offline SSDs NK5onxJwAvtQTxbkwSUoG8-650-80.png


    "Larry Hryb, the man known to the world as Major Nelson, announced on Twittertoday that Microsoft has "made some backend updates to improve your experience playing @Windows 10 games offline." Basically, if you're going to be somewhere that lacks online coverage—on a submarine, for instance—it will still be possible to play your games. But there are some restrictions.

    "Most games available in the Store on your Windows 10 device support offline play, but check the details of the game to make sure yours is supported by searching for your game at http://www.xbox.com," the Xbox support site says. "Most games with a campaign mode will be playable offline, but games with network co-op or multiplayer features will not work while you’re offline. While playing offline, some features, such as the ability to purchase additional items from the Windows Store, will not be available. Additionally, any leaderboards will be unavailable while you're offline."

    Obviously, online features like buying stuff from in-game stores won't be available when you're offline, but the bit about "games with network co-op or multplayer features" not working while offline really isn't clear. We tested with Gears of War 4 and confirmed that the offline features like campaign and LAN multiplayer worked just fine when disconnected.

    There are more caveats, though. You're limited to just one "designated offline device" at a time, and you can only change your designated offline device three times per year. Switching into offline mode isn't all that easy, either. First, you'll need to set your designated offline device:

    • Make sure that you’re online.
    • Check that your device has the latest Windows updates: Go to Start,Settings, Update and security, and then Windows Update and see if any relevant updates are available.
    • Open the Store. You’ll be prompted to sign in if you haven’t already.
    • Select the Me icon (this is your profile picture).
    • Select Settings, and then under Offline Permissions, make sure that the toggle is set to On.
    After that, you'll have to "prepare" your games by launching each one that you want to play offline while you're still online, and logging into your Xbox Live account. This is a bit like launching Steam into Offline mode while you still have an internet connection... but you'll have to prepare each individual Xbox game this way before going offline.

    Once you've logged into the game while you're online, you can exit at any time and you'll be set. Of course, if you change your mind and want to play something you haven't properly prepared, you're out of luck.

    The upside is that this only affects Windows 10 games, but it still seems wildly complicated and restrictive to me. Worse, while improved functionality is always welcome, I can't see how this does anything but beg for unflattering comparisons with Steam: When I want to play my Steam games offline, I set Steam offline, restart it, and I'm on my way—and I can do it as often as I want. Microsoft's implementation of offline play is an improvement, but only because it wasn't available at all previously. As a step toward becoming more competitive with Steam, though, it falls woefully short.

    offline update for Windows 10 1809

    I want to apply offline update to my computer running Windows 10 version 1809. But I read the information on the support website to find out that “This quality update should not be used to update Windows 10 version 1809 media offline. See KB 4464619
    for more information.” OK, I understand what I shouldn’t do, but how I can apply this update offline? I have the latest LCU and a new SSU.
