    Greetings!

    I know that Microsoft pushes out new builds of W10 when required.
    However, I would like to know what's in these builds before I let W10 update the current OS.

    If I defer the updates using W10 Pro, is there a easy way to do this?
    Don't want the new builds affecting any of my applications.

    Thanks,

    *Smile

    :)

    After clean installation windows won't activate... error 0xC004C003

    I have the same issue after upgrade from last W10 Technical Preview. It has now been 4 days and my copy still won't activate.

    Like many of you, I wanted to do a test on one of the secondary computer before installing W10 on other more important machines. Well, good thing I did. I will definitely wait and see. This, to me, is a significant issue with W10. I'm putting a "hold"
    on everything before risking losing all my valid licences.

    Is there someone at MS that is looking into this, apart from telling us the server is busy. How can we possibly know this is indeed the reason rather than some issue with our "key" or some bug with W10?

    Also, in other versions, there was the possibility to activate by phone. What happened to that?

    W10 may possibly be the best Windows yet but, you should know, I never had this issue with Windows 7 (which was a great experience from day 1).

    horrible experience with windows 10 upgrade

    Hi Rex! I'm sure you will get help here if you are patient. I would like to know what W10 build are you referring to. The latest build is the 'Creator'! If your running the anniversary build(1607)you could go to the the media creation tool and click on 'Update
    now'.

    Download Windows 10

    When you say two weeks updating your W10, can you explain that a little better. Let me know how things go for you!

    Here's some things to check before trying W10 updates!

    There are also sites like Windows Central and plenty of YouTube videos which go through what's new.
