Windows 10: Is my device going to get 1809?

Hey!


I have an Asus X540LJ laptop that is not doing so well.


After some trials and errors, I managed to install the latest updates, however, I see I'm still on 1803 version. I saw this:




But 1809 doesn't show up anywhere to update.


So, my questions are:

1) Is my device not compatible with 1809 (so that's why I don't see it)?

2) Is there a slow rollout of the update and I'll eventually get it?


Thanks in advance!

1809: Is Windows To Go still broken?


In the initial wave of reports for things that were broken in the first release of 1809, there was included a fatal BSOD on attempting to boot Windows To Go:




It is related to WppRecorder.sys, affected both "official" and "unofficial" To Go installs, and was only apparent when the boot device was an external USB drive/enclosure supporting UASP. It was raised in some of the MS community threads at that time.

Three workarounds have been circulated which seem to work, at least for now:

• Delete WppRecorder.sys prior to boot, and replace with the corresponding file from 1803.
• Disable UASP globally by renaming uaspstor.sys prior to boot.
• Disable UASP for the affected boot device via the registry of the ToGo install.

I have used the fist method and confirm that it works for me.
I have been checking the "fixes" in the re-release of 1809 and the subsequent patches, and do not see mention of this issue either specifically, or by reference to the offending drivers.
Is this on MS's radar?

 

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.

Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.

3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
