Windows 10: Newest Windows 10 Update as of Week 6/20 Major Issue

So there was a new update for windows 10 this week and I just received the notification last night. Like normal, I closed out of all my applications and hit the good o'l "Update and Shutdown" button before I left for the night. I get back from work only to find that my pc decided to say "screw this guy" and not work. The desktop turns on with the internal lights working, but the display refuses to show up. The first beep code is 3 long and 5 short which indicates a motherboard and/or cpu issue, but the second Beep Code is 2:2. According to the HP support website, that is an issue between the outdated BIOS update and the Windows 10 update. The solution proposed is: "Typically no steps needed." Thanks, that would help if it worked... Anyway, I tried the Sure Start, which doesn't work; aka the WIndows and B or WIndows and V key with the power for 2 to 3 seconds. I disconnected about everything and reconnected it in the pc, nothing changes, and I cant seem to get the menu up by "repeatedly tapping the esc button when the pc turns on," which hinders me from downloading a usb version of a BIOS update onto my pc. Im about 79% sure that it is now a motherboard issue and now have a new motherboard coming in rn. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO! I know of two others with completely different motherboards, that is 1 desktop and 1 laptop, that have this same issue the first time they turned on their pc since the update. Im not mad or anything but this is more of a warning to help for future windows updates. This update fried my 2 year old motherboard. If there are any other solutions, I am all ears, but please someone watch out for this in future updates.

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.

 

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

Here

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update problems and complaints

Two major Windows 10 updates scheduled for 2017




It may come as no surprise, but Microsoft won't release another major update for Windows 10 in 2016. The good news is you can expect two big updates to Microsoft’s latest operating system in 2017.

Microsoft let the information slip in a TechNet blog post published earlier in the week. “Windows 10, version 1607 is our third Windows 10 feature update released,” Microsoft said in the blog post. “Based on feedback from organizations moving to Windows 10, this will be our last feature update for 2016, with two additional feature updates expected in 2017.”

The blog post appears to confirm reports from the Windows rumor mill about the timing of the next two updates for Windows 10. The first update, dubbed Redstone 2, is expected to roll out in early 2017 with the second, Redstone 3, landing in the summer or early fall, similar to the timing of the recently released Anniversary Update (previously known as Redstone 1).

This schedule would put Microsoft back on a two updates per year schedule similar to the initial rollout of Windows 10, as Windows Central first pointed out. In 2015, Microsoft released Windows 10 (also known as Threshold) in July and then the November Update(dubbed Threshold 2) three months later.

This time around, Redstone 2 is expected to roll out in the spring and then Redstone 3 should hit about four to six months later.

The impact on you at home: Of the two updates, Redstone 2 looks to be the most interesting so far. Not necessarily because of the features, which are believed to be largely things that weren’t ready for the Anniversary Update. The big deal is that the early 2017 update is expected to roll out in concert with new hardware from Microsoft, asZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley first reported back in March.

Early builds of Redstone 2 are expected to roll out to Windows Insiders in the coming weeks.
