Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB4073290 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.194 - 64-bit

This really strange. I have a HP laptop with a AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M processor. KB4056892 was applied via WU and has had no effect on this system. The system is about 4-5 years old. Its running 16299.192 and boots just fine.

If MS isn't going to push KB4073290 thru WU, then I'm not going to install it.

Also HP doesn't have it scheduled for any BIOS update.

 

Don't need it if the original CU went through OK, it's only a small number of older processors affected.

 

Further to using update for older Toshibas. THis link provides a list of the models than can be updated:
Toshiba : Model List Our L300D (PSLC8C-06T01R) is not listed. It's also not listed as suitable for upgrade to Win10. Not sure when this list was issued. Presumably before Fall Creators Update. But MS went ahead with the automatic update on W10 Home anyway. And broke our computer *Sad. Later they stopped that, so with new install, W10 is working fine - for now *Wink

Maybe above explains my reluctance to install the update to .194

We will replace this computer or go back to Win7 once we get back to Canada. Juts need it to work for next 3 months!

 

If you have problems since before Christmas, they are different then mine, which were entirely caused by KB4056892 which was not released until around the 5th of January 2018.
If you want to just wait it out, I would expect Microsoft to issue their next Cumulative Update on the second Tuesday in February, which should supersede KB4056892 and KB4073290.

I install these updates because they contain security upgrades but yeah, the chances of being attacked by Specter or Meltdown are slim especially if you have firewalls, anti-virus, etc., running on your computer.

You are right - the no-boot issue occurred later. My wifes other laptop that still has Vista developed a jumping screen. But worked on an external screen. Skype, Browsers, Dropbox all dropping support for Vista. So moved her stuff starting Christmas to my old Toshiba that already had Win10 installed. Just added her as a user. Took some time getting all her stuff over, then kapoof - all gone when KB4056892 was pushed out.

 

My System
Intel i7 4770K 8gb, Sandisk 120gb SSD, nVidia gtx650 ti boost 2gb... + 4tb to games and apps

before .194 .... sometimes i noted some problem (3x +/-) in boot showing some msg (quickly) that my system was recovered... or some that.

yesterday, i installed new update .194 and wait that no problem occur again.

my install is ISO downloaded from MS directly, but is cracked *Wink

before, without updates, not problems.

lets go wait. now is 1709.16299.194

 

To be strictly accurate, it's a list of 'Toshiba models supported for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update'. In this context 'supported' means the models have been tested and that Win10 drivers are actively being developed for these models.

My Satellite L750 isn't on the list (nor was it on the original list of 'Toshiba models supported for upgrade to Windows 10' back in 2015). Despite Toshiba's claim that "Models not listed below do not support an upgrade to Windows 10" the 'Get Windows 10' app said my machine was suitable for an upgrade. A rather elderly AMD-based Satellite C650D I recently acquired isn't listed either. Both machines happily run x64 1709 build 16299.192 with the MS-supplied drivers.

 

Thanks for that.
This side of the pond, they say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" . After what we have been through I don't want to touch the Toshiba while it is still working!

 

I just can't resist the temptation to try *Smile Mind you, I make sure I have made a system image first, then I generally put a spare drive in, restore the image to that, then play as much as I want test the system - safe in the knowledge I can just put the original disk back in when I'm done breaking it my testing is complete.

 

I have a Toshiba Satellite L755-13K, running Windows Home 64Bit. It was bought with Windows 7.

It is on neither of the Toshiba lists quoted above but it is currently running Windows 10 ver 1709 (OS Build 16299.192)

In other words the latest update.

BEFORE I updated it to Windows 10, (while the free offer was available) I looked at the Tosh site and found that Windows 10 wasn't supported at all!
So i imaged it (just in case) and....
AFTER UPDATING to Windows 10, I had Bluetooth and Wireless problems but everything else worked

I always keep notes of such things (yes I am a Geek!) Here are my abridged notes from the time (in italics) with screenshot of the Device Manager for Bluetooth:

When running Windows 7 (November 2015), made TOSHIBA Bluetooth Service Automatic - (it was manual) in an attempt to speed it up on start-up - seemed to work or at least caused no problems!

After update to Win 10 (8-6-2016) and installation of the new Bluetooth Stack, TOSHIBA Bluetooth Service reverted to Manual (Trigger Start)

Also set to Manual (Trigger Start) are Bluetooth Handsfree Service and Bluetooth Support Service
This caused all sorts of problems with the mouse being intermittent and dropping off and "stuttering"
Eventually uninstalled the TOSHIBA Bluetooth Stack, removed all Bluetooth devices from Device Manager and let Windows 10 set it up thus:





TOSHIBA Bluetooth Service no longer installed; Bluetooth Handsfree Service and Bluetooth Support Service, are set to Manual (Trigger Start) and will run as necessary.

Therefore now using Windows 10 to find and pair with Bluetooth Devices – successfully.

The following Toshiba software uninstalled as not useful!

Bluetooth Stack for Windows (see above)
Other unrelated "bloatware"

And for Wireless:






So I searched for and downloaded Qualcomm Atheros wireless driver v10.0.0.341 for AR9002WB and Windows 10
https://www.atheros-drivers.com/down...Windows10.html

The ones obtained by searching from Windows Update were version 3.0.2. These are a fair bit more recent!

So basically ignore manufacturers when they say that their computer doesn't support an OS.

That often means that they have moved on and aren't doing any further development on that model. So it's fair for them to say it isn't supported (by them) - that doesn't automatically mean it won't work!

As long as either:

MS provides a driver
or
You can determine the individual components and get a driver that way

Then go for it.

2 caveats:

1 If you've got a working system, image it before you start playing testing as @Bree said above. (I swear by Macrium Reflect) That way if all else fails you can revert to how the system was when you began.

2 If you download drivers like i did for the Qualcomm wireless, KEEP THE DOWNLOADED DRIVER SOMEWHERE SAFE!!!!!
Otherwise if the time comes that you need to do a complete rebuild and it's no longer available, you are screwed!

Remember you don't necessarily need the latest drivers - stable ones that work are sometimes better. If you've got working ones you can always try newer ones and revert if the older ones are better than the newer.

 

What is this?

 

@miklet Google is your friend pal!

Cumulative Update KB4073291 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.201 - 32-bit - Windows 10 Forums

EDIT: It's for 32Bit processors only.

 

Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4023057)

KB4023057 Update to Windows 10 for update reliability - Windows 10 Forums

I got this today but nothing changed.

 

Looks like you're using an old version of Windows (1607) This is pre Creators Update which is itself pre Fall Creators Update!
Strike that - sorry - it also apples to the Creators Update (1703), but NOT to the Fall Creators Update (1709)

What version of Windows 10 are you on?

See here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...r-update-relia

This says "This update includes reliability improvements that affect the update components in Windows 10 Versions 1507, 1511, 1607, and 1703."

So you probably won't see anything, but it's doing its job "behind the scenes". I wish all updates would! *Mad

 

Wireless is not working on our Toshiba. I had had the laptop completely apart twice so that I could reflow the GPU contacts. After the second time, the wifi was not working. I assumed I had forgotten to re-attach the wifi antenna. Can't recall if I had Win 10 at that time. Anyway, not wanting to remove all those screws again, I used an old usb wifi stick (which we lost the other day) I have a new one, but at present we have Toshiba on an ethernet connection.
