    Win 10 1809 library confusion


    I have discovered three folders called Pictures:


    C:\users\default\pictures

    C:\users\public\pictures

    C:\users\onedrive\pictures


    If a program saves something to Pictures it is anyone's guess which it will use and then I can't find it! There are different images in all of them!


    I'd also like to get rid of the onedrive folders. I don't use or want onedrive.


    I don't seem to have Libraries on This PC either.


    How can I reset without reinstalling and loosing everything please?

    :)

  3. Update Windows 10 to 1809 manually

    It's been a while after Microsoft released an update to fix issues in the initial Windows 10 1809 update. But the page where we can download the updates as standalone packages still has a hole instead of download link to the 1809.17763.1 version package:


    Win 10 1809 library confusion IrC85.png


    Windows 10 Update Assistant page is useless as well, since it offers to download April 2018 Update, lol.

    So, I can't update my 1803.17134.376 to 1809 even after more than a month since it's initially was released.

    (Of course, "drastically improved" Windows Update doesn't suggest the 1809 update, too. Actually, it has been never working on this Win 10 copy, so I used to download all the updates manually via the first link in this post.)

    Has anybody figured out a way of how to manually update from 1803 to 1809?

    Without hardcore stuff, please, like making bootable media which potentially would have a great chance of destroying the currently installed Win 10 copy Win 10 1809 library confusion :)

    UPDATE: I was completely confused by that "Microsoft recommends" wording near the 1809 update on that page and some top articles in Google saying that it was released and ready for production with that quick patch. So, this question is from this confusion.

    Thanks to comments below and @music2myear answer, it's clear now that 1809 is still not released. So, there is no point in update attempts (at least for me) at the moment.

    Duplicate Music Library Sign Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft community.

    I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

    Can you check if both the folders contain all the music that you need?

    Where the original files are saved so that we can troubleshoot this issue further?

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

    Method: Restore default Libraries

    I would suggest you try the restore library option and check if it helps. Please back up all the files in the library before trying this, just to make sure you don’t lose any files. Refer these steps:

    • Open Windows explorer
    • In the left panel, locate Library and right click on it
    • Click “restore default libraries” option
    • Check if the issue persists.
    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
