Windows 10: Windows 10’s next update might not come with highly anticipated Smart Upgrade feature

Windows 10 October 2018 Update is just around the corner and it comes with a bunch of exciting features that you can find here. One of the best features is the Smart Upgrade that uses artificial intelligence to improve the quality and reliability of the Windows Updates.

Microsoft has always been criticized for upgrading the consumers PC at the wrong time but the software giant recently figured out a solution to deal with this problem. In release notes of Windows 10 Build 18204 that was released earlier this year, Microsoft revealed that they’ve updated the reboot logic to use a new system that is more adaptive and proactive.

Microsoft is using AI tech to improve the quality and reliability of the Windows Update feature. Microsoft has trained Windows 10 to accurately predict the right time that is to restart the device. For example, Microsoft won’t upgrade your PC if you left it for a couple of minutes or half an hour to grab a cup of coffee.



The model that Microsoft has trained works fine according to the company’s internal testing. In internal testing, Microsoft managed to upgrade the devices with minimal turnaround times, thanks to the company’s cloud infrastructure.

The Smart Upgrade feature is powered by AI so it would analyze data on the characteristics of devices – presumably in terms of usage – to find out the correct time to upgrade your PC.

It may not arrive with Windows 10 October 2018 Update


A new report suggests that the feature is missing in the latest preview build of the October 2018 Update (that is Build 17763).

A Microsoft representative said that it has “nothing to share” about the feature at the moment.

It’s not a good news but as Microsoft is yet to finalize the RTM candidate, there’s still a chance that the feature will appear in the imminent final version of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update.

For those unfamiliar, Microsoft is expected to launch Windows 10 October 2018 Update next month and the rumour has it that the RTM candidate will be signed off on September 25.

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.
