Windows 10: Can Moment 3 update make people install Windows 11?

Microsoft has recently unveiled Moment 3, an updated feature for Windows 11 that offers a range of advantageous enhancements and performance improvements. This update holds the potential to persuade numerous Windows 10 users to make the transition to Windows 11.

In a blog post published shortly after the release of Moment 3, Microsoft provided a comprehensive account of the company's year-long efforts to enhance the experience for over a billion users worldwide. The post serves as a condensed overview of all the changes implemented in the Insider channels throughout the past year, now incorporated into the Moment 3 update.

Panos Panay, Microsoft's Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer, had once reminded people that its latest OS was “all about quality” and once again, the firm has reminded users that Windows 11 is the "most reliable version of Windows ever" in the list of highlights.

• The blog post reads:
  • We improved frequently used shell interactions like Taskbar, Notifications, and Quick Settings by as much as 15%!
  • Getting users into productivity faster by improving the time it takes to get to the desktop by 10% and reducing the impact of startup apps by over 50%.
  • Making PCs more sustainable with our new Energy Recommendations and Carbon-Aware Windows Update. We see a 6% average reduction in energy consumption for the users who use the recommended energy settings
  • Windows 11 is the most reliable version of Windows ever, with recent updates continuing to improve reliability.
  • Microsoft Edge starts up faster than ever before and saves memory with features like Sleeping Tabs, which saves up to 83% of memory for background tabs.
  • The new Teams app for Windows is 2x faster while using half the resources.

Amidst a series of negative news stories, system crashes, and software glitches associated with Windows 11 and its subsequent updates and fixes throughout the year, Microsoft has taken an interesting approach by publishing a blog post that highlights the positive aspects of their latest Moment 3 update. This move can be seen as an effort by the tech giant to reinforce confidence in their product, especially considering the mixed reception Windows 11 has received thus far.

Microsoft's extensive list is "all about improvements" they claim to have made, ranging from environmentally friendly PC enhancements to faster startup times for Microsoft Edge, and even increased user productivity by reducing desktop access time. While the Moment 3 update has been generally well-received, if not eagerly awaited, Microsoft still faces the challenge of convincing more users to migrate to Windows 11.

Should I install Windows 11?


Recent negative headlines have certainly added to this challenge. However, the blog post could serve as a persuasive tool for those hesitant about upgrading, offering a comprehensive overview of the main changes and potentially alleviating concerns in the decision-making process. It is worth noting that some of the listed enhancements remain somewhat vague, leaving room for interpretation.

Undeniably, Moment 3 represents a positive step forward and showcases the significant progress made by Windows since the troubled days of Windows Vista. By providing consumers with a detailed blog post outlining all the changes made, Microsoft aims to simplify the process of convincing users to upgrade. The extent of persuasion achieved by this approach remains to be seen and will undoubtedly be determined by individual users' responses.

What do you think? Is Windows 11 all about quality? Would you consider upgrading if you have not yet?

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ



Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
