Windows 10: what will be removed during the Fall Creators Update

Good Day All
I have been reading (here in other threads) that in the process of updating/grading that windows essentials will be removed and in so doing windows movie maker as well, is this true? and what else will be removed.

I have finally got some sort of handle on movie maker and do not want to loose it.

all help and or info is greatly appreciated

:)

 

ISSUE WITH WINDOWS 10 UPDATE TRYING TO INCLUDE UPDATES FOR HP WIRELESS PRINTER NO LONGER INSTALLED

I had the exact same issue with an ACER MC605.

It too had an Anatel PCI-E WLAN card Mfg Date 2012/07/14.

None of the error messages reported during failed updates to Fall Creators had any link to the card and failure consistently occurred at 81%.

The card was not used, so it was removed.

The Fall Creators update has run perfectly and the other following updates are proceeding without issue.

 

Creators Update should be called Windows 11

You could well be right with the terminology. MS have determined that Windows 10 will be the last number for their OS. This will receive two major (feature) updates during the year, in spring and fall. The Creators update v1703 was the spring update and
the Fall Creators update v1709 is the fall update. (this is just an example for 2017)

There are previous large updates for 2016. But this is something we will have to get used to.

 

The ability to use a screen saver is one afaik, Movie maker is being integrated into the photos app.

 

I haven't seen that said before, but it's good question - I use Movie Maker a lot and would be very upset to loose it. Installed apps are normally only removed during an upgrade if they are known to be incompatible with the new version of Windows. Just being old and unsupported isn't a reason to remove it. I'll test this and report back shortly.

As I said, known incompatible apps will be removed. In the past this has included things like third-party AVs that need upgrading to work in the new release. As for the built in features and apps of Windows itself, this is the official list...

Features removed or Deprecated in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

Yes, screen saver is in MS's 'removed' list. The photos thing is apparently not a 'Movie Maker' re-boot, it's just a way to make movies.

 

I seem to remember Movie Maker gave errors when clean-installed in CU, but if you ignored the errors it worked fine.
I wouldn't be surprised it FCU was similar.

 

Yes, I tested that for the CU and reported the findings here..,.
Windows Essentials 2012 will reach end of support on January 10th 2017
...I'll update it for the FCU shortly.

 

Good news. Movie Maker is not removed by the upgrade to Fall Creators Update. I've reported my tests here...

Windows Essentials 2012 will reach end of support on January 10th 2017

 

thanks for the info Bree

i would have never thought to use the compatibility stuff seeing as how it's already installed on my win 10

Many thanks Again

 

Movie Maker doesn't need the compatibility stuff, it runs fine without it. The offline installer however needs it otherwise it doesn't work properly. Useful information if you're ever need to do a clean install of the FCU.

If you haven't got the offline installer, here's one way you can still get it.

Now that windows movie maker is no longer there what do people use

 

I love watching my Aurora screensaver I stole from Vista, I`m delaying that FCU for a year.

But can we still install our own screensaver ?

 

Many Thanks Bree

i grabbed another copy of the installer 134mb i hope that's all that's required

i marked the thread as solved but between now and the FCU that still remains to be seen*Huh

in ether case

Thanks
