Windows 10: New update package on Windows Update for PC build 10240 today

I've gotten the update. Here's what I'm seeing:

1) I don't seem to be having any problem shutting down or restarting.
2) The live tile of the Mail app is still not updating in anything close to a timely fashion.
3) The notification icon seems to be working as designed, only becoming white when there's a new notification.
4) The 'Change only the text size' feature has been borked since day 1, and still is. The dropdown list doesn't even drop down if you've scaled the display (I set mine to 125%). You can work around this issue with a registry edit, which I've written up here somewhere...
5) I don't see am/pm on the lock screen.

 

Thank you for your feedback! And I wish more would contribute.

From what you say I'll risk believing that they have not fixed much... The fact that you don't have these Apps preventing you from shutdown/restarting smoothly[*] might have been resolved after applying some well-known hacks in your Registry, at some point? I am aware of those too, but I still keep my system completely untouched and without absolutely any program installed, because I want to see how it will behave.

Anyway, let's hope for the best *Smile

PS: I do not understand why they do not fix the Lock Screen time format bug. It must be something simple, isn't it?
[*]smoothly : like it is not my responsibility since I do not have, for example, Word opened with an unsaved document. So these apps should not appear there.

 

The only registry tinkering I've done is regarding the font sizes - I didn't do anything that might affect Apps interfering with shutdown or anything like that.

That is strange about the Lock Screen time format. I never even noticed it, to tell the truth. Maybe MS didn't, either *Wink - did you post feedback?

In any case, I always hope for the best!

 

Yes, I always send Feedback after searching on-line a bit about the issue I face, because there can be a fix for it.

I noticed the difference in the time format between my desktop and my Lock screen right away because I always use a 24h time format on my system.

I'm still waiting for this update... It is a bit inconvenient because I have not installed any programs, neither have I applied any changes to the OS, not even the Zoom of 125% I always use. I hope it will arrive until later tonight - so after max 5 hours.

 

MS will fix even more before the 29th.

 

Certainly on 29th M$ will release ISOs containing all the updates until there

 

"2) The live tile of the Mail app is still not updating in anything close to a timely fashion."

All my 3 machines worked since upgraded to 10240. Does it relate to Mail>Settings>Options-Notifications?

Attachment 24959

 

Maybe, though I don't know why those settings should affect the live tile. I had 'show in action center' on - the two boxes were unchecked, and I've now checked them to see if that changes anything.

 

Hmm.....

Please, have a look at this :





I just checked this menu in the Settings and saw it. I have no idea when the update tried to install and failed!...

So, what can I do now? Just keep checking again?

 

When I had failed installation like this in the past, I was keeping checking. It took one or two times but succeed.

 

These are my downloads

18th: Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074665)

17th: Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (KB2467173)

I don't remember how to do the Copy Screen thingy

 

Okay, thanks. I'll keep checking for the next....4 hours! I've dedicated this day to Win 10, lol....

By the way, what you posted earlier regarding the live tile of the Mail app... I had it set the way you show it. And it still did not work. For example, it was showing me no new e-mail, the live tile that is, and then I was opening the Mail app and I was seeing 4-5 new e-mails.

 

My complete update history for the 10240 build that I have installed like 4 hours ago, is shown in my screenshot above. The fact that I have not received any other updates surely has to do with the fact that I have absolutely no program (software) installed.

 

This one puzzles me: Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (KB2467173).

I had no software installed before that Update.

It might be something to do with the EN-GB build?
