Windows 10: Creators Update version 1703 (OS Build 15063.413)

I updated my Desktop with the latest Creators Update (1703 (OS Build 15063.413)) on 1st July. It has worked smoothly and without a hiccup for five days. Should I consider my updated Windows 10 as stable or wait for some more time? Suggestions please.

updated Mail app crashes display driver

Updated to Version 1703, OS Build 15063.413 creator version update (just below check for update link) which will give you 15063.413 and it solved my problem.

Mine had been 1607 and my OS build is 14393.1358.

Thanks to all that suggested this update as a fix, worked for me, now mail works fine again!

 

Does the Media Creation Tool download the latest version of Windows 10?

Hello Darryl,

Yes, the current download of the MCT is for Version 1703 OS Build 15063.0.......aka The Creators Update.

After applying Windows Updates after installation, the OS Build will become the current build 15063.413

Hope this answers your question.

If you're in that fortunate position, make sure you update your disk image, and if you haven't yet started to use disk imaging, then please seriously consider doing that.

E.g. Macrium Reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage for image sets.

Why? Because you can recover from e.g.
- ransomware
- a failed disk (restore image to a new disk)
- unbootable PC
- uncorrectable problem

- by restoring your PC to a previously working state.

The disk images also act as a full backup - you can retrieve files.

 

I had made an image immediately after the update. After that I deleted tons of files that are used for reversing the update and other crap and making some minor tweaks. These changes are not only working flawlessly but have also made the system faster.
I asked the question because I want to delete the original bloated image after imaging the current system. Are six days of flawless working enough to do that or I should wait for say about a month?
Thank you for your response. Any further suggestions?

Amarnath
PS: I use Acronis for imaging. Doing so for about 15 years. Amarnath

 

Hi, personally I use a base image, then keep a number of differential images. That number is automatically managed by Macrium - presumably Acronis can do the same. (As you presumably know, differential images are smaller and faster to create - incrementals more so).

It's really a personal decision as to when to create a new base image- obviously, play safe, create the new one before deleting the old one.

Note: Windows.old would have been deleted automatically (presumably after 10 days if that's the timescale MS is still working to)

 

Acronis too can create differential and incremental images including daily or weekly differential images automatically in the background. But being a small time operator I keep this facility turned off. Just create a full validated image on the first of every month and delete the two month old image. That serves my purpose. So I shall stick on to my bloated image and delete it on 1st of August after making a fresh image.

Why I am sticking to Acronis is not only because it is good and has never given any trouble but also because the recovery CD that it creates incorporates a disk partitioning program "Disk Director" that I liked more than PM and EaseUS. Does Macrium has this facility too?

 

Hopefully you also had an image from immediately before the update? That would be when you would really want it!

 

Thank you for your query. Yes that I have and have also used it once to take me out of a soup.

 

Thanks for your advice. I have done just that with a small twist. And the twist is that I have created a new Image but will delete the bloated Image bext month.
