Windows 10: Creators Update - Discussion of new changes and quirks

Looks like a copy and paste from a word pro.

 

Was a bit OT, sorry, just seemed odd..

 

Hi Everyone,
So far I've updated three of my computer's to the creators update, one laptop..one desktop..and one tablet. They were all previously running the previous production version , since upgrading them I've noticed something strange that's occurred on the tablet, previously when I was using firefox browser and was watching a YouTube video, I could turn off the display, and the music kept playing. Now since upgrading it, when I turn off the display the music stops...on my other two computer's that function works correctly. So I went back to my previous version of windows 10 and now the music keeps playing like it used to on my tablet..so far I don't know why ??

Sorry, made the correction now, font was at 2 and it come from Libre Office 5.3.2.2

 

Thanks, but I already had my own copy, downloaded before the links were pulled. I too can confirm Movie Maker 2012 still works in Creators Update - I already had it installed before the upgrade and it still works just as it did before.

HOWEVER, I can also confirm that trying to run the Offline Installer wlsetup-all.exe on a 15063.13 system that has never had it installed before reports that the install fails...





...which is odd, to say the least as according to Apps & features, the Start menu and file associations it has installed successfully. Apparently fully functional too...





The Uninstall is fully functional too, should you wish to remove it. *Smile

I guess we need to wait for more feedback from those who tried it from my link or a previously downloaded one, although I suspect that most who wanted to use Movie Maker already had it. Such an easy to use, basic video producer with a short learning curve.

 

Mine was presumably the same as your link. It was downloaded on 13th March 2017, wlsetup-all.exe version 16.4.3528.331.

It's reinstalling after a clean install of Windows that may be a problem.

 

Hi there

@Bastet

Try vuescan - almost every scanner in the known universe will still work with this

VueScan Scanner Software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux

OK it's not free but why junk a perfectly good scanner and you can TRY before buying --costs around 30 USD / 25 GBP / EUR.

I'm still using a canoscan for "digitising" Black and white film negatives -- Vuescan worked a treat (I'm now using an XP VM as I needed the old Canon software for optimising the scans and creating the Black and white prints) etc but certainly VUESCAN did the initial trick -- for older scanner unless you want to use a VM then 100% recommendable. Note with negatives the black and white are reversed which is why I needed the canon software but for your normal scans great piece of software.

For email there's BOUND to be a fix very quickly as an email client is usually MUST HAVE software.

After Creators Update (went well on four different Dell machines) Edge browser no longer automatically enters username and password at sites previously saved, although the usernames and passwords are still visible under Manage Passwords in Advanced Settings. Can automatic entry be re-enabled without re-entering username and password at each site?
Thanks.

**answered my own question.....had been logged in as a local account, but after logging in as an MS account usernames and passwords worked again. went back to local account, but the fix stuck.

 

That is typical for any upgrade. Most of that would be the windows.old folder containing your old OS, should you wish to roll back.

 

Hi there
If you backup your previous version of Windows BEFORE upgrade - then never a problem if you want to go back so no reason to keep windows.old

CU install media no longer looks for Windows 8 OEM embedded keys. Did a clean install on my laptop and got prompted to enter a key. it has a Windows 8.0 Core OEM Embedded key.

It looks like there is a glitch with the Education version. I have a few of the Settings pages with a red "Some settings are hidden and managed by your organization" banner and some settings are greyed out.
*Some settings are hidden or managed by your company

 

Same error for me but the mail app fails to open with an error about calendar corruption.
I also downloaded the offline installer before it was removed.

 

Thanks @jimbo, I used the chance to look for a new scanner with better features like being able to scan slides, I've found one but am looking into whether it is win 10 compatible, in the meantime I have a scanner app on my phone which does the same as the old scanner. *Smile
The scanner driver was no problem but the scanning software installed with errors.

 

I am tempted to buy the $80 version lifetime use, but as I am nearly 68, nobody knows how long that can be!!! I realise I can use it on up to 4 machines (eg: my pc, laptop, daughters laptop), very tempting but 60/40 to get it
