Windows 10: Windows 10 Creators Update Privacy Settings (KB4013214)

I realise you probably already know this and have checked but if, for some reason, your machine has failed to instal KB4015217 cum. update during last Tuesday's patches then it wouldn't be offered the Privacy Settings Update.
MS did state that newer machines, whatever that means, would be offered the Creators Update first over an unspecified roll out period. Perhaps their system identified your second machine as 'not so new'.

 

Thanks - my machine got that KB. It's just this kb4013214 that got omitted. Maybe it's as you suggest but I would of thought all machines would of got this KB at least in preparation - this is where it's so unclear from MS. And of course our other machine did get this KB but even 5 days later still no pop up to review privacy settings.

 

I would like to know how to completely get rid of this garbage. I installed the creators edition a few days ago and immediately started noticing performance issues with my Oculus among other things.
I do not want this update, I thought by going into my advanced update and security settings and checking the "defer" box that Windows would leave me alone for a few months...but oh no. This 'reminder' to review my privacy settings continues.
I can see that his KB was downloaded and installed on April 16th, but there's no option to uninstall or block it? What the hell? It's not even listed in the list of updates that can be uninstalled?
I would simply like to keep my trusty 1607 Win 10 Pro build and avoid this garbage that frankly I do not want or need?

Thanks! *Smile

 

Scottyboy99,
I also got tired of waiting for the CU download/update.
I followed this tutorial article by Brink to do the update--> (worked perfectly)
Update to Latest Version of Windows 10 using Update Assistant - Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials
Hope this helps.

 

Thank you. I think I'll wait it out for now. I read reports about iTunes not playing nice with Windows 10 Creators Update. As my mobile and tablet devices of choice are apple this is a little concerning. As much as I don't like Apple's arrogant attitude I do feel Microsoft keeps moving the goalposts with these major updates so regulary. Hopefully by the time CU rolls down the pipe to me iTunes will be more compatible (having received an update)

 

I found another thread in this forum that provides a handy registry file to get rid of the reminders to check privacy and security before the update will be mandatorily forced. Essentially you don't need to bother with the update if you don't want it.
I chatted with Microsoft support and their only option was to roll back my PC, as the KB can't be removed. Because it's "important". To who?
Anyway, this would have created a ton of work for me as I have a lot of custom stuff going on that took many hours to setup after I had to reimage my PC post the Creator update disaster.
So just letting anyone who might be in the same position as me know there's a better solution.

Cheers.

 

For those who want to retrigger the Update and Privacy settings, in task scheduler navigate to \Microsoft\Windows\UNP\Campains\{91be532c-f9f1-406a-9858-43697c6f437a} and run the task named 'Time'.


Note It'll only occur once in a while, I believe once a day

I restored a backup of yesterday to figure out it'll only run once in a while after I triggered the task.



Note I'm not 100% sure if the CSLID (red marked) is the same for everyone, but I assume there is only 1 folder below Campains folder so go to the folder below Campains folder

 

Are you able to download KB4013214 manually? WU has installed KB4015217 but not KB4013214 yet

 

As far as I searched there is no manual download for it.

 

I guess as its done the previous two required updates for CU this last one will arrive soon. taking its time about it for some reason

 

Yep sure is taking its time. I still don't get why one of my machines got it whilst the other hasn't. Yet the one that got the privacy settings update still hasn't been offered creators update or had the pop up to verify privacy settings. As per usual a total of clarity from MS. I have no idea if the pc that hasn't got this KB is acting up and should of received it.

 

Well, the machine that had installed this KB 2 weeks ago finally popped up with the review settings just now and is downloading the update through windows update. Typical that it does at 11pm, being edgy about it I will babysit the process!!! Still no sign of the KB on our main machine though.

it boggles the mind that MS pushes the update to decrepit BRIX mini PC running an old SSD, pentium (!) and integrated Intel gpu which is barely quicker than an old commodore yet the machine rocking skylake, Samsung SSD and nvidia 980ti still waits. I thought they were targeting newer hardware first.

 

They're targeting OEMs and insiders first I believe, doesn't explain why my pc got the update at the same time as my laptop though

 

Decided not to wait and got it via the assistant. Installed with no probs so far

 

What do you mean by "It'll only occur once in a while, I believe once a day"?
I ran it manually by right clicking on Time in task scheduler but nothing happened.
Do I have to wait "for a while" and the review settings window will appear suddenly or what?

Thx.!
