Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB3120677 Nov. 24th.

Yes and probably writes that crap on his Mac. *sarc

 

Boot with the external monitor to have picture. Then try the Win+P combination to change screens. Check if your external monitor is primary and change that so your internal monitor is primary. You can also check from Graphics Properties (I assume you have Intel). You can also visit Intel's download site and check for newer driver. Do not rely on notebook's site or Windows Update.

PS: In some models you can set in BIOS which screen works at startup. This can be laptop only, external or both (clone). Try that as well. I would set it co "both", you can always change it in Windows with Win+P or yout notebook's own key combination.

 

Hi. I'm fairly new at dual monitors. Keyboard as primary navigation. You just taught me a key combo I must've passed up somehow and I have many lists. Thanks. *Thumbs

 

Seems like a person learns something new every day, eh HG? *Smile

 

Yes and dual booting 8.1 with 10 and keeping up with changes is somewhat of a chore.

 

Yes, according to Microsoft, the .14 update was made to fix a small bug with the Privacy settings not "sticking" through the upgrade to 10586. Apparently only a smaller select audience experienced this bug--I didn't. But anyway it seems to me that whoever had the weekend duty @ Microsoft goofed in pulling the 10586 update over the weekend. It's now back where it was, along with the media creation tools for creating an image of 1511, build 10586. (The three cumulative updates since RTM 10586.0 moving it to 10586.14.)

 

The same can happen when having 2 or more computers with different versions of Windows. Right now I have Win7 Pro, Win10 Pro and Win10 Home Desktops running.

 

supposedly the previous threshold 2 build code itself did not retain certain (imho trivial) settings. my guess is that sort of problem is more the toggle to the settings concerned.

 

just updated desktop and laptop and seams alright
default programs just the same as before

 

"I get older constantly learning", as ancient Greeks said.

 

I downloaded the update and when I run it I get the message "The update is not applicable to your computer"? Huh?
I made sure it was the x64 version. I'm currently at Build 10240, which is the update version. Is that why? can I not get this build?

 

This new update is to fix some issues in build 10586. You must first upgrade version 10240 to 10586 to install it. Find the official Windows 10 ISO in Microsoft Tech Bench. Careful, "English" is English US and "English International" is English GB. Make sure you download the correct language or you won't be able to upgrade.

 

is this 10586 ISO and upgrade? not a full install?

 

The same ISO can be used to clean-install Windows 10 (format) or to upgrade Windows 7/8 to 10 or to upgrade Windows 10 build 10240 (anything lower than 10586) to build 10586, like in your case. After the upgrade with the ISO you will have build 10586.0 (without any updates yet). After doing all the updates and this last cumulative update KB3120677 you will go to build 10586.14 which is the highest public version yet.

 

Thanks for the info spapakons. I'll download the iso and then install both the 10586 then kb3210677.
