Windows 10: Windows Updates for windows 10

Hi there

I wonder if there is anyone who can clarify how windows updates will work on windows 10

I am currently running Windows 7 Premium so I suspect the upgrade will be a a Windows 10 version of similar standing.

What worries me slightly is that I have heard that only Windows 10 Pro users will have the ability to customise updates, now I can ask windows update to inform me of updates only, but I can choose if I want to download and install them, or even IF i want to install them. Will this also be an option on the version of Windows 10 I get as a free upgrade? Or will we simply have no choice about updates.

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

 

For now, while it's still Insiders preview, choices for WU are limited, Later on is anybody's guess but there are strong indications that at least security updates are going to be on auto and mandatory.

 

Home edition users will automatically get updates, there are currently no settings that allow the end user to change this.

Pro edition users can DELAY updates, but not decline updates

Enterprise edition has it's own set of rules so that businesses can plan implementing updates without affecting 100s / 1000s of users or mission critical operations

Here's a wiki article that offers a workaraound (the whole wiki thread is a good read):

I'm sure someone will find other workarounds, so keep an eye on
