    Should I force an update?


    My new laptop is running Windows 10 build 1909 and a few days ago I got the option to update to build 2004. The next day, when I went to update, I got the “your device is not ready” message. I thought that by now all compatibility problems would be fixed. Is it safe for me to use Windows Update Assistant to force the update, or should I wait?

    My laptop is an Asus Vivobook x571LH, with an i7-10750h, GTX 1650, 16gb RAM and a 512gb SSD.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Should I force an update? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    6303c - Forcing Firmware Update v10

    Hi All



    I got a 6303 as it's listed on BMW as being 100% compliant with incar bluetooth. Sadly Orange have branded the phone which means that it's stuck on v9.40 and NSU shows no updates as being available.



    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can force a firmware update to v10 and whether it will damage the phone?



    Any suggestion much appreciated.

    Intel E5200 Gets Updated, R0 Stepping Coming Up

    Intel's Pentium Dual-Core E5200 processor is getting on course for a specifications update. The chip will feature in a new, improved Wolfdale-2M core, spec'd out as the R0 stepping, from its current M0 stepping. The new stepping is intended to add new instructions, power-management features, and bring about changes in the chip-package. A short list of known changes is as follows:
    • CPUID changed from 10677 to 1067A
    • Power State Indicator (PSI) support with Intel 4 series chipsets
    • New instructions - XSAVE and XRSTOR
    • New S-spec and MM numbers
    • New halide-free chip package
    Due to the changed CPUID, users may require BIOS updates to detect the CPU. According to the company, E5200 R0 should be out by April 13.
