Windows 10: First one with windows 10 anniversary update

What time will Redstone be released? I hope I am not waiting for nothing at 12:00am! haha! I am Central Time, but I can convert from other times. I have just been so excited! *Biggrin

 

It just Released!
14393.0.160715-1616.rs1

 

I am not loving it at this point. I have had to go in and reset update to notify me to restart and stop trying to use machines on my network, from Windows thinking that it knows more than we do.

 

For those looking for the link to download the Anniversary, if they are not seeing it in updates. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...setting_client

 

That is where I found mine now at 42%

 

One machine updated ok. The one I'm using now . My Intel NUC updated itself. Got to the desktop fine. I thought great. Then it threw up an error screen and said it had to reboot. It didn't reboot tho'. Got past the Intel splash screen and a little blinking icon appeared (resembling a tiny flame) bottom left .This machine dual boots with Linux so I thought it had lost its Grub somehow. Delved further and every partition was gone. The drive was bare ! lol . Now reinstalling a Macrium backup. Gotta laugh !

 

Updated here in the UK. The downside is with Edge extensions as none I've wanted will install; each on says it needs reinstalling to repair.

 

Got the update as well. For me it was like upgrade from 8 to 10 - same folders with old stuff created, same problems with deleting their content. Even though the programs were preserved I've lost a lot of settings, surprisingly in MS applications and Windows itself (nearly all customization is gone). All services & similar settings previously set up are now back to defaults. Definitely disappointment here - I was hoping the config will be preserved at least in its major part. Of course no warning was displayed on that.

One good thing though *Smile - sfc /scannow finds no corrupted files. For my Windows 8, 8.1 and TH2 it constantly identified corrupted files on the clean just-made install.

It looks all programs tied to the system configuration / state (e.g. Kaspersky Total Security, Process Lasso) need to be reactivated as the former activation settings are gone.

So far I can see only problems with applications not quite adjusted to use high dpi (I use 4K display) - surprisingly those that worked in last Win 10 build 1511, now malfunction - e.g. T-Clock Redux is only half-visible in tray.

 

Mine was slow when I upgraded around 2 pm Seattle time. After Midnight it was a lot faster when I did my wife's laptop. I only had one issue with mine and that was the Windows update not working. Now if they would allow us to get rid of that stupid lock screen again.
