Windows 10 Fall Creators Update: Remote Desktop Crashes

You don't need to do any of this crazy workaround, this issue was fixed in the previous cumulative update. Just make sure you have Windows 10 version 1709 November 30, 2017 cumulative update - KB4051963 (build 16299.98) or later. (Current build is 16299.125)

 

KB4051963

KB4051963 is (OS Build 16299.98)

KB4054517 is the successor to that cumulative update (16299.125).

So, you don't need it.

 

So that's why they pulled .96 then...

Downloading now. *Party

 

All done here! Noticed a few differences during stage 2 when it said "assembling windows updates..." Don't think I've seen that before.

Also needed 2 log ins before I got to the desktop.

 

Thanks for info Shawn....done and dusted on SP4

 

This new update has proved an interesting test for checking for updates over a metered connection.

I feared at first that that windows update had hung again* and that the 'Download' button was never going to appear. Seems that there was a lot of CPU activity required at the 'Status: Preparing to download - 100%' stage, but the 'Download' button (eventually) appeared as expected.

One thing I do appreciate in 1709 is the detailed status reports against each individual update. It makes it so much easier to see what's going on and reassured me that, although it took its time, windows update was working as intended.


* This had been a long-standing 'bug' until 1709.

Allow Automatic Updates over Metered Connections in Windows 10

 

Noticed something else odd...

There was a notification that the install had failed but it is showing the correct new version.








This may explain the need for my two logins reported earlier.

 

Bit of a hair raising moment for me. After downloading I clicked restart and left machine whilst it configured. Came back to the ASUS splash screen which normally shows up just before the windows login screen. It was stuck on this, not doing anything. I left it a few minutes. Contemplated holding power button down to force turn off which is always risky. I thought I’ll just tap enter on the keyboard, not sure why but this suddenly kicked the machine into life. Rotating dots under ASUS splash screen and then a few moments configuring updates and back to windows login. Verified I had the latest version, all ok. Restarted machine to be sure it didn’t do same thing which it didn’t. So lord knows what that was about. Incase anyone gets same try tapping enter on keyboard.

 

Hello guys,
I just did this update. No problems so far. Pretty fast one.
Good luck

 

Installing now... Cross your fingers!

EDIT: After 7 seconds: BAM! Back in business. Gotta luuuuuuuv SSDs *Biggrin

 

Funny, the opposite happened for me. I clicked 'Restart now' and came back later to my desktop w/o logging in (and I have 'use my sign-in to finish setup' un-checked). Go figure. *Banghead

 

A very fast update, around 15 minutes total.

 

It was uneventful and smooth *Party
