Windows 10: Another Update?

I just got the new update 2 weeks ago now I am getting a message that there is another update that I have to restart my computer for. Is this part of the creators update or something new?

:)

 

Microphone not connected, but still works

Problem solved. Not sure what I did, because I tried almost everything, but what I think was the solution is the following:

1. Open the device manager.

2. Select "Audio inputs and outputs".

3. Right-click your audio devices and select uninstall device.

4. Select "Sound, video and game controllers".

5. Right-click on your soundcard and select uninstall device. Also check the box that allows you to uninstall the drivers and software.

6. Restart your computer.

 

What is Device Census?

From Ars Technica:

“A new study finds hundreds of sites—including microsoft.com, adobe.com, and godaddy.com—employ scripts that record visitors' keystrokes, mouse movements, and scrolling behavior in real time, even before the input is submitted or is later deleted.”

Microsoft?

 

Microsoft pushes out a new cumulative update every Tuesday. Most of those require a restart.

 

What version do you have at present? Is it 1607? Run Winver to find out.

What does your Update History show? Is there a 'Features update to Windows 10, version 1703' waiting to install? If so, that would be the Creators Update. If not, what updates do you see listed as ready to install?

 

I don't think so. The normal schedule is on the 2nd Tues of Month unless they have a good reason to issue and out of band update. There was an out of band CU on Aug 1. On Aug 8 there were 2 updates on schedule (CU and Flash). No CU update on Aug 15. Also on the 1st Tuesday of the Month is a scheduled Office updates. What update are you getting?

says 1703 and OS 15063.540 after todays update. I also got a message that says the update did not fully install after it was finished. Also the update history is gone. It showed a history before the update but now it is blank

 

It also says in windows update that my vice is up to date.

 

1703 is the Creators Update and 15063.540 is the latest build with the Cumulative Update of August 8, 2017 - KB4034674.

This begs the question of which update did not fully install. This should be listed in Settings > Update & security > Windows update > Update history. What KB number does it say didn't install?

 

Since the update today my update history is blank. I googled that and it seems the newest update removes the update history from your computer. I did check the update history right before I restarted my computer and at that time all the updates were listed. After the update they are gone.

 

The latest update for 1607 does have a known issue that it clears the update history, but this is only a problem for 1607. You say in post #5 that you are on 1703 so that does not apply. It may be that you have just been updated from 1607 Anniversary Update to 1703 Creators Update. The upgrade process will also reset the update history.

Do you now have a Windows.old folder? If so, what is its creation date? It seems likely on the balance of evidence that you have just been updated to the Creators Update.

 

The version before todays update was 1703 OS 15063.483. It is now 1703 OS 15063.540.

 

I don't seem to have a Windows.old folder

 

15063.483 was the cumulative update KB4025342 released on the regular 'Patch Tuesday' July 11th.
Cumulative Update KB4025342 Windows 10 v1703 Build 15063.483

There was an 'out-of-band' update KB4032188 on 31st July taking the build up to 15063.502.
Cumulative Update KB4032188 Windows 10 v1703 Build 15063.502

15063.540 is the latest cumulative update KB4034674 released on 'Patch Tuesday' August 8th.
Cumulative Update KB4034674 Windows 10 v1703 Build 15063.540

It seems that you did not get KB4032188 through windows update, and that windows update may have only just got round to checking for updates, finding and installing KB4034674. The reference to an update that couldn't install may well be down to KB4032188 being queued up but being superseded by KB4034674 before it could be installed.

With build 15063.540 you are fully up to date, so there is nothing to worry about. As to why your update history is empty, none of the above update seem to be responsible. I had them all and my history is complete.
