Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB3197954 Windows 10 PC and Mobile build 14393.351

Same here. But I'm still on OS build 14393.321. *Sad

 

Hey guys, just a question. What happened with my menu? *sarc

 

Looks to me like most of your tiles are not there on the right side.

 

This update would be 46 MB on a x64 system if you had the previous update already from Oct 11.

My first 2 systems downloaded quickly but my Laptop stalled a lot but finally finished. Busy servers.

I mean, my documents, images folders, etc. I have nothing. Its bugged or something?

 

one hour exactly. installed. no known problems. how long before these updates eat up a 150 gb hard drive. a gig here and a gig there. small drives gonna get a surprise one day.

 

seems ok on mine. Have you tried toggling those fields off and back on again?

 

These cumulative updates mostly just replace existing system files so not much increase in space used.

installed without problem
thanks

 

WHAT, ME WORRY. Ran disk clean-up and recovered 3.99 TB. Thank you Bill.

 

DiskCleanup (maitenance cleans up some space, but yes, the space is increasing over time.
I use WiseCare to cleanup Windows Update's cache (not SoftwareDistribution's folder).
I also run this command to clean up WinSxS (but it prevents uninstalling of updates).

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

Not only it decreases space usage, it also makes the next update to run more smoothly.

 

The disk clean up is odd in W10 and not that much better than W8.1

For some reason I get different behaviour between 32 and 64 bit installs which isn't a one off by the way. Once again the x64 version shows 3.99Tb to free up (go figure !) and takes around 30 minutes of presumably full CPU usage to complete. Having to go through this every couple of weeks makes W10 less than environmentally friendly imo. The x86 install flies through its clean up but frees little space. This is again consistent behaviour for me with the x86 version.

So around 1Gb freed up with x64 and around 0.1Gb for the x86

 

Downloaded and installed ok now on 351

 

My 8 machines are now all updated. Had problems with only one: the Surface Pro 3 running RP didn't grab and install correctly until a third try (had already downloaded the Catalog item, but ended up not having to install it). It does leave another 3.99 TB worth of Windows Update files behind for cleanup *chuckle! Knowing now that it takes a while to complete that work, and that a subsequent reboot is needed to finish cleanup, I just let it run on most machines. Took almost 50 minutes on my slowest machines, over 40 minutes on my fastest ones to complete. All good now, but an interesting evening last night...

It's not exactly a bug, there really are 3.99TB of ntfs directory entries to clean up (or more, 3.99TB is probably just the highest number it can count up to). The fact that 99.9% of them are hard links that don't actually occupy additional physical disk space makes little difference, Disk Cleanup still has to delete them, hard links and all - and boy does it take its time doing it, over an hour for me this time round.

The real bug is why some cumulative updates produce an excessive number of hard links in the first place.

More explanations of the '3.99TB' here...
