Windows 10: May W10 Update potential problems ?

Hello,

Lots of Posts around re a May Update to W10 by MS.

Seems all sorts of nasty things will happen, especially if you have any external HD (perhaps for backups)
installed. Other problems too, apparently.

And, lots of hints for disabling the automatic backup that MS includes with W10.

Strong suggestions that you should (specifically for this May update).

Not too sharp with this "stuff," but sure sounds "scary".

Any of you folks and experts know anything about this ?
Something to worry about ?

Not too thrilled about disabling the automatic backups, as I like the idea of Windows Defender being
periodically updated.

Suggestions re ?

Thanks,
Bob

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

Potential to update bios based off manufacturer vs supplier

You can only go 1 additional step up... see the list in the above post on supported processors.

That's as future proof as you can get on that motherboard...see 95W max.*Smile

Motherboard is about 2 years old and most likely will not get another bios update....so any other processors will not be supported.

There are physical limitations to what any motherboard can support so the 95W max is important. You can't put a 125W CPU in... it won't work.

HP would like you to BUY a NEW system. They are sales oriented and discontinue product almost as soon as it's made.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
