Windows 10: Windows 10 spring update 2018

Why do people STILL put up with the arrogant attitude put forth by the Microsoft organization?


On 4 occasions Windows 10 tried to update my system with the spring 2018 creators upgrade. On the 4th attempt, it bricked my computer. AND I MEAN BRICKED. I spent a full 3 weeks trying to recover the system. No luck, ( And yes, there was a backup made of the initial installation ). Only message I ever got was to the effect that there was no Operating System on the computer. The efforts to recover led me down many paths which even led me to the "new and improved Privacy Policy issued by Microsoft" If that doesn't scare the crap out of you then nothing in the ether will ever do so.

So, I say to Microsoft:


How dare you try to install ANYTHING on my computer without my express permission (Updates included)

How dare you upload personal data to your site without my express permission EVER

How dare you share data collected from my computer with 3rd party groups

How dare you override changes I have made to my personal computer without my permission

How dare you change settings at the BIOS level without my permission


You people may surely own the Operating System BUT you do NOT own the equipment it resides on and therefore have NO business entering said equipment.


As of 1 month ago your product, Windows 10, or what was left of it, was excised from my system never to again be installed. As far as I'm concerned, your organization should be able to be charged with a crime. I am sure that I, as an individual, would be charged with a criminal offense if I were to break and enter the computers of users of your software in the same manner you do.


I believe it's time for people to take back their equipment ownership and their privacy from abusers like Microsoft. There are alternatives out there, some of which are better than Microsoft and are a lot less costly in terms of monetary cost as well as loss of privacy and takeover of personal hardware.

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update(SCU) Partially Breaks MKV File Support?

I updated to main computer to the April 2018 Update, AKA Spring Creators Update, and it seems like they've taken a step backward with MKV file support. When I go into the properties of an MKV file on the Fall Creators Update, if I go to the details tab it gives me a bunch of detail about he media file, like resolution, framerate, audio information and bitrate. However, if I go into the same file's properties on the April 2018 Update, almost all of the information is blank, it only gives me a runtime and bitrate.

I really just want to confirm that this isn't just my computer and other's are experiencing the same thing.
