Windows 10: Microsoft Edge, Store won't connect & Feature update 1803 refuses to install & random PC...

Hi,


For over six months now my PC has been regularly trying and failing to install Update 1803. It gets most of the way through, then fails and restores the previous version. Meanwhile the Quality updates still install fine. Ughh! It's very time-consuming and frustrating.


Also my internet works no problem (Firefox, Steam, Google etc. all work fine) but Windows itself thinks otherwise. Microsoft Edge does not connect, and says to check my internet settings. Same with Microsoft Store - no connection.


Finally, at random times, my PC locks up. It does this at least once per day. I will be in the middle of working and suddenly everything freezes. The mouse still works but the apps all freeze and nothing responds. I reset the machine and everything is fine again. Uggh! Very frustrating indeed.


I'm sure these problems are all somehow connected to one issue. I've tried a few different fixes but nothing has worked. If you could recommend a solid solution I would be VERY GRATEFUL INDEED!!

Many thanks,

Josh Wright

Microsoft Rolls Out Windows 10 April 2018 Update (build 1803)

And I was wondering why for the past week I wasn't able to install Russian Language Pack on top of my EN distro... They've changed some links in update distribution and now additional features are installed through MS Store, just like android. 1803 came along and LPs are available once again.

I do like the small changes to the interface - looks a lot cleaner and more compact. Though, MS is still trying to force their Edge browser on users...*Bang Head :banghead:

 

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
