Windows 10: Windows 10 Update has caused another major problem to our network. How can we disable the...

I have had problems with my Windows 8 machines upgraded to Windows 10. The number one recommendation from MS is to reset windows. Terrible idea to recommend to a user to basically lose all the customization on their computer. I've had two machines get bricked, one I never got back working. ( a 2 year old Dell i7 quality spec machine). The support from Microsoft has been basically zero. Now I have another machine, disabled service, stopped, and it went ahead and updated. But the update was apparently interrupted. I didn't do anything unusual just normal use but I also wasn't aware that it was updating, since once again I had the service turned off and disabled. And now the machine can't connect to the network. Hmmm...

Can anybody post a solution. Would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

:)

 

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.

 

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Indeed... that's the majority of the problem.

If it is asking for the password, then you need to enter the password. It will be in the Control Panel where you have created a Home Group.

Try to run the HomeGroup troubleshooter and check if it helps.
