Windows 10: Windows 10 Fall Creators Update coming October 17th 2017

The point is that I can trust the external storage device I use, I trust the Cloud as much as I would trust using Win 95 today.

 

Hi,

Ok, but that's not what I meant at all. Nobody's forced to use One Drive or any cloud service for that matter.
But if you did you then had a copy of it's content forced on an internal drive/partition. Might as well have stored yourself on an external device.

The latest version of One Drive now only stores the place holders instead of the full files. Much better and you can still stores the original files wherever you see fit.

Cheers, *Wink

 

Well, maybe the next or final build will address the issue of having to turn off/on your pc with each use. There are many apps and enhancements that I don’t use but some people do use them and that’s good enough for me. I do use onedrive and a tablet and a smartphone and they all talk to one another—thank God. But lots of people don’t use those. I like the fact that I can use what I want to use and leave the remainder alone. And that’s not bad or good—it Just is!

 

That's not the published info from Microsoft (unless you have one of those Clover Trail processors which can't get past 1607, in which case Microsoft said there will be security updates up to 2023 "for these specific devices"). It's not clear how this would work, or whether any other devices could get 1607 updates or whether it means an extension for CU support.

But for everyone else, it's "tentatively" March 2018 end date for AU and Sept 2018 for CU.
So AU and CU could both be out of support in less than a year's time. (And 1511 dies next week!)

I hope they release it a week before like they did the last time there was an upgrade...I mean to the general windows 10 users like myself who aren't participating in the insiders program...I like to jump in early *Smile

 

I hope its not fortelling

 

Thanks for the links. Install via Upgrade route and went smoothly. Very little fiddling with Settings required and all installed programs working that I've opened, as well as Windows settings. Like the new reading feature in Edge and see that Hibernation is no longer available so I can use Fast Startup again. Cheers

 

3 machines updated to Windows 1709 (OS Build 16299.15), all running fine.

 

That is not what I read earlier but as we know MS has a habit of changing their minds. I will never use the FCU. as @magilla said , I am not going to turn off and on my machine when I leave for twenty minutes. Microsoft needs to get with the Climate change faction. Just about every other company is trying to save energy. I also do not leave my TV on when I leave...

 

I saw earlier in this thread you mentioned a problem with Sleep - it might be a driver problem (or perhaps FCU is picking the wrong driver) rather than code in FCU itself.
I've noticed FCU is picking up a wrong driver on my old machine so I had to manually install the correct driver - nothing to do with Sleep in my case but it could be similar.
I'm no expert though - have you started another thread on it? Also use Feedback Hub of course.

 

I did and I use the same drivers that I did on 15063 and sleep works just fine. I am NOT the only one with this problem and as for the life cycle: The Feedback hub has Over 50 reports from me on this and they wanted my email. I have yet to hear from anyone at THe Hub.
