October 1809 Update for Windows 10

Windows 10 update 1809 installed and running.

I had to select ''check for updates'' before it was offered.

Took a little while but no problems really.

Soon as I read this topic I made a disk image!;)

It will only automatically download, and install it if it's compatible with the PC, if a PC has a compatibility issue then it won't be available until that's fixed. From looking around on several websites it's recommended to wait for Automatic Updates to download it, that way it should be compatible.

LOL.

I checked for updates and it started downloading - at 200-500 Kbps! (It's usually better than that but still rural BB speeds).

After an hour it had downloaded 7%. So I unplugged the laptop and tookit across the road to the pub. (Any excuse). 50-57 Mbps fibre, download complete in 10 mins.

Still installing.

Can't believe it took this so damn long to make it possible to clear the Clipboard easily, and without having to use a 3rd party cleaning tool such as CCleaner to accomplish it.

See here:

https://pureinfotech.com/clear-clipboard-history-windows-10/

Task Manager seems to be showing the wrong CPU usage, its fine in the list but the total seems way too big.

Unless there is something using CPU that is not showing in the list?

I'm currently showing about 2% for the individual apps/services, yet the column heading says 65% and the graph shows about the same.

Some non-microsoft desktop Icons changed image on their own, and some icons elswhere seem to have changed size.

Particularly noticable in 'Settings&gt;Home'  where they seem about 25% smaller.

I like the new dark theme in File Explorer.

(Now I need to work out where this new clipboard stuff is saved so that I can add it into my batch file).

Apparently the fix for the CPU thingy should be in a cumulative next Tuesday.

Cheers Hazel.

Not a big issue just a strangeness.

Still not had a good look round at the new stuff yet, but nothing seems 'broken' up to now.

Have you had a look in the Event Viewer..Application.... and seen all the 1534 errors?

Anyone run into this?

Take a look on the WindowsTenForum at https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/118976-new-1809-update-now-shows-event-viewer.html

On page 3 of this thread, the first post by Eagle51 shows a procedure that fixed the "Profile notification of event Load for component {B31118B2-1F49-48E5-B6F5-BC21CAEC56FB} failed, error code is See Tracelogging for error details." multiple errors on my systems

Everyone may not have the B31118B2-1F49-48E5-B6F5-BC21CAEC56FB key in all the places listed in Zardoc's post (I didn't), so I recommend you do the fix manually.

I also have a lot of warnings in the event viewer, all for the User Profile Service, all with event ID 1534.

Looking at the Hex code it's the same component loading error and it's trying multiple times to load it.


Looks like it does eventually load. Sometimes first retry but I have one instance where it took 20+ tries.

It's not clear yet, but all the 'confirmed' reports of lost files that I have seen seem to have used the 'Update Assistant' rather than 'Check for Updates'.

There are some suggestions that it is also linked to usage of One Drive local storage in some way. (Suggestions that if the files don't exist in One Drive they get deleted?).

There also seems to be a problem with certain Intel audio drivers and MS has blocked Automatic Update to machines with certain Intel chips until they can fix it.

I shall just wait for the event ID 1534 fix from Microsoft which I don't think will be long.

Who knows what terrors deleting reg keys may bring on a new Win 10 version.

upgraded 3 PC's tonight to 1809, no issues found.

4 more to do tomorrow...

Noticed a small one with Storage Sense 'Free up space now' and 1809.

When you run it it seems to be doing nothing at first.

It's not until after about 30 secs that it starts showing what it is scanning and filling in the progress bar.

I've not come across anything major, just these little oddities that many users wouldn't even notice.

I thought that was what the insiders programme was for, to find and get rid of these oddities before RTM.

With all the issues I decided to use the free O&O ShutUp10 to as it's listed in the program 'Activate deferring of upgrades', "supposedly even works for Win10 Home" which Microsoft doesn't give a setting for to defer upgrades.

Looks like 1809 might have been pulled from the update servers.
