Windows 10: Oct 17 Creators Fall update

Why is the Fall Creators update coming on Sunday instead of Tuesday? I still haven't received the April Creators update. Will Fall update skip the April update? Just curious.

:)

 

"We've got the newest Windows feature update for you ready to install...."

Hi Lee,

The next Windows Update is Fall Creators Update 1709 which will be released on October 11, 2017, and will be available worldwide on October 17, 2017. For more information, you may check this

Stopping an update

Hi,

We've checked the new Windows update and upon researching, it seems that you're referring to Windows 10 Fall Creators update that is coming on October 17, 2017. You can click this

link for additional information about this update.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

If you have not had the CU upgrade, then getting the Autumn upgrade seems unlikely as well. Something is probably glitching.

You can manually upgrade by downloading iso, mounting as a drive as running setup.exe. No real point in installing CU now though.

Re. Sunday - Computers do not care what day of the week it is.

 

Makes sense to me(in a way).
If you take time zones and the international date line into account, the main part of the downloads at immediate release, will be the America's Sunday morning and afternoon, while the further east you go the later, and others sleeping with their PC's off, and no time to update in the morning(Monday) because they need to go to work. If you go west, it's already Monday the next day(compared to Redmond's date and time).

 

17 October 2017 is a Tuesday in my Calendar? *Confused

 

oops!

 

Re. Sunday - Computers do not care what day of the week it is.
I must have been looking at September.

 

I agree with @cereberus. There is likely something wrong with your Windows at this point blocking the upgrade.

 

I get other updates, just not the April Creators update.

 

And you likely won't get the Fall Creator's Update automatically through Windows update, either. Just stating the fact. And there will be the numerous posts starting in November from the people who absolutely insist on waiting for the most unreliable method of upgrading (Windows Update) asking "Should I have gotten it by now? When do you think I will get it?"

 

That is an interesting question. What would windows update do left to its own devices? Skip to the latest or install them one after the other?

I have a 1511 image for my test machine so I restored that and checked for updates. It's Pro, so I tried it with and without 'defer updates'.

Defer updates turned on it found: 'Features update to windows 10, version 1607'
Defer updates turned off it skipped that, instead finding: 'Windows 10 Creators Update Privacy Settings (KB4013214)'

 

Very true. They are more than capable of misbehaving any day of the week!

 

I still haven't been offered the CU on my 3 year old Dell Inspiron 7537 laptop - but my laptop is not listed by Dell as 'compatible' with the CU. The CU may not be offered to some PCs due to hardware / driver issues.

 

I can't understand that*Confused
My ASUS X54C from 2011 is on CU.
And actually, it is only good for Win7(original OS) and & Win8.1
There are no drivers for Win10 on the ASUS site for it, but, the ones from Microsoft run great.
Of course I don't wait for Windows Update, and download the ISO ASAP, because I have 2 desktops and a laptop to upgrade, and it is just faster and more reliable that way to do it.

I upgrade them individually(one by one), with the others turned on, so the machine being upgraded doesn't loose connection with Homegroup, so it will connect automatically back. Otherwise the Homegroup upgrade bug, where after an upgrade, it needs to be manually reconnected to the Homegroup(and it is a real headache to do it) happens.
