Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB3213986 Windows 10 Version 1607 build 14393.693

Yes did that on my laptop but went in ok after that and all good now

 

Downloading from the catalog- The update structure would be twice the time. If I used 5 a.m. tomorrow the catalog download would likely be faster since the local population connected to this 5G tower structure would not be online. Two machines to update which makes using the update service unattractive.

 

My thought as well although I did find Edge to be flaky at times earlier on when Win 10 was first released. It has been more stable for awhile now.

 

Worked on 4 of 6 target machines so far, but has taken quite a while to complete on all machines (and I have 300 Mbps service, so it's not a matter of download speed). I'm also going through the time-consuming post-install cleanup that comes with a heavily crosslinked update file (the usual 3.99 TB of stuff to clean up from my 500 GB drive ;-). I'll update my wife's and son's machines this evening.

This cumulative update brought in a new "background" when you are booting up windows (the page you see with the time right before the log in screen comes on)...I liked the old background better....this new one shows part of a tree and a huge lizard on it....weird (LOL)...
I don't suppose there is any way to change that background, is there?

 

You can change it in the Personalization options.

 

Thank You blackroseMD1 *Smile
I didn't realize that was called the "lock screen"....i just switched the image back to the previous one which i liked better...

 

No problem, Craig. Glad I could help.

 

I saw some other images that would have been fine too...just did not care for the lizard *chuckle

 

My machine had a couple of minor glitches. Installed fine, restarted fine and everything seemed normal. I decided to run cleanmgr on system files and it took quite a while, maybe hung about 3/4 way thru. Left it there for 1 hr and so chose to cancel. At that time, everything became frozen. Was able to restart but, Windows started updating again, same as before?. This took 1 hour, opposed to the initial install of about 15 minutes, but seems to be back to normal again. Cleanmgr ran again without issue.

 

I get that on every update on one of my older Dell XPS8300 desktops but everything is fine. Unless something goes wrong, I'd just ignore it.

 

Has this update caused sleep issues for anyone? My laptop doesn't come out of sleep properly since the update. It hangs with a black screen and I have to hard reboot to come out of it.

 

After the update, space in C: drive got reduced by more than 1GB. Restart took more time. Disk cleaning did not recover the space. How to recover space? Where are update files stored? Does long restart indicates any error?

 

To clean up Windows Updates you need to click the 'Clean up system files' button, a standard clean up isn't sufficient.
