Windows 10: Question concering the Anniversary update

I know that keeping your pc update is very important, but due to bad internet it is very difficult for me to do so right when updates come out. I am using windows 10 and the workaround that disables the service. I turn on updates whenever I can get to a better connection which sadly can sometimes be weeks. With the Anniversary update coming out on Aug 2nd I must know.. will my computer be okay on an older build until I am able to update? I will update as soon as possible, but till then I am kind of stuck.

:)

 

automatic restart problem on nokia 500 product code 059L3M6

Do the Nokia people even bother to reply to our concers?

 

Error Msg- failed to connect to Window service (Windows 10)

Question for SujataMoktan concering : Windows 10 is not referenced in the directions. Do I assume the directions
will work with Windows 10? Thanks.

Thanks again. I followed your directions and my computer is now working correctly.

 

I'm just a little nervous that I will have problems if I don't update right away..

 

Disable the BITS service on startup - either via a script or manually. Disabling manually will not carry over so will need to be done each time but a script like this...

Code: @echo off net stop BITS net stop wuauserv[/quote] In start up or as a logon scheduled task may work.

EDIT: Oh missed the point... delaying upgrade doesn't matter. Download the ISO on your own time and upgrade from that.

 

I have updates disabled via the service.. I just want to know if I can wait to renable them or will the anniversary update not getting installed be a problem?

 

Okay! So once I can go to a place with better internet I can turn the service back on and update to the Anniversary update? Till I can do that my computer will run fine though right?

 

You will be just fine until you can get it. Personally, though, since you aren't going to pull the update right away from Windows Update - by the time you get to a location where you can download it, the ISO file will probably be available for download. If you know in advance when you are going to be ready to download it, I would come back here and ask us if the ISO is available and how to download it. Upgrading to the Anniversary update will be more reliable doing it form the ISO file than Windows update - if the historical past continues to prove true for this update.

 

Thank you so much. I've been so worried about this update.. glad to know there won't be a problem due to waiting a bit.

 

Sorry but one last question... if it takes me about a month to be able to go update is that okay? I have a very tight schedule and getting to the library or anywhere isn't easy.. very long work week and all. I usually only get computer time at night.

 

sorry for all the questions I am just not the best with all this stuff haha..

 

Don't fret... there is no rush. What's the worst that could happen? Updates are not the be all and end all, as much as MS imposes them on us... many survive without them.

 

There are sailors out to sea that won't be able to update their personal computers for 6 to 9 months and they are just fine. Been there, done that - just not for this Anniversary update
