  1. What's Up With October Windows 10 Update?


    I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a desktop computer. In early October, I installed a Windows 10 update that was supposed to update my Version 1803 to 1809. The update appeared to go smoothly, and I didn't lose files as some have reported. However, I just noticed my Windows 10 failed to update to 1809 and is still at 1803.


    During October, several Cumulative Updates were successfully installed. However, those updates didn't change the version to 1809. According to my update history, the Version 1809 failed to install on 10/4/2018 due to error 0x80240034. So, how do I update my Windows 10 software to Version 1809? Using the update software on my Windows 10 computer doesn't do the trick.


    I've seen articles about the October Update having been reworked and released. However, I thought that update was for people who lost files or had difficulty installing the update. In my case I had no difficulty installing (so I thought() and didn't loose any files.


    My Update history reads as follows:


    Feature Updates (1)

    Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809

    Failed to install on 10/4/2018 - 0x80240034


    The five updates that did install successfully are Quality Updates.

    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

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
