A friend of mine told me his start menu search was broken last time he reinstalled the regular creator's update; the solution? Re-enable the "let apps work in the background" setting because it turns out that affects the search.

dissss posted:My Surface Pro 3 has never worked very well TBH but updates have certainly made it worse in the past (especially the firmware ones which were supposed to fix battery life) Nope, never had problems before. It started dropping my wifi immediately after the update. The weird thing is that it drops my private wifi but stays fine on my guest wifi on the same router. There must be something more complex going on, like maybe a corrupted profile for my network or something.

 Don't think that's my issue then? This has been happening for months. I'll go ahead and run it again, but I'm not expecting any results. Unless it's supposed to run on System Reserved, or this other volume in the list with a UUID, in which case it just doesn't run on those even if I try to make it

Also, this is the reason your wifi blew up on the Oct 10th patch: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/16/wpa2-wifi-security-vulnerable-hacking-us-government-warns https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/16/16481818/wi-fi-attack-response-security-patches Microsoft patched wifi drivers on the 10th and disclosed it today.

From what I can tell, the flaw can be fixed on either client or host side, and updating one shouldn’t cause issues with the other. Also, they’ve already been breaking spec, which prevented one of the bugs from being exploited, and that hasn’t caused any problems.

That latter breaking of the spec has been the status quo ever since WPA support and WiFi support in the OS in general came in with Windows XP. As a result anybody that wanted to support Windows just had to deal with that and support it. New changes to fix the other parts could well break existing setups.

You'll get whatever current major update is current, so fall update for now without any other stuff. After that it will install updates for that major update. lol!

If it activated, then any hard drive with a Windows 10 environment of the same edition will be activated on that hardware hash (usually motherboard is enough?). Just upgrade 7 or start fresh.

Looks like emby server installs itself in AppData. That folder should have been moved to C:\Windows.old when doing the reset, unless the reset process was changed since the last time I used it. e. No, it's not normal. e2. Installed emby on a VM and did a reset, got the same result you did. Something is sticking around and running the application in C:\Windows.old, but I'm not sure what.

What does upgrading with MCT even mean? It sounds like it's reinstalling my Windows 10 rather than just updating it judging by the weird language. I just want the Fall update, man.

That's exactly what MCT is, a reinstall of the OS, you use that if you want to do a clean install. If you just want to update to the latest, you have two options, at 10AM PST, hit the "Check for updates" button in your settings window, and if it picks the update up, you're good to go. If not because MS likes to do staged roll outs, you'll have to download the update tool and update through that. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/10/17/get-windows-10-fall-creators-update/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

ufarn posted:What does upgrading with MCT even mean? It sounds like it's reinstalling my Windows 10 rather than just updating it judging by the weird language. The major updates are delivered pretty much exactly like a full OS upgrade. So that's what it would be doing regardless, just in a slightly less scary-sounding way, with regular Windows Update.

Plug in your flash drive or mount your CD while windows is running and double-click setup.exe to do the upgrade. Boot from it if you want to do a clean install.

Just in case anyone else has this problem. I have cheaply calibrated monitors with a low end colorimeter, nothing special, but after the fall update everything was pink. I turned night light on and off and it seemed to fix it, it reported being off from the start in the settings menu, but who knows, something might have gotten confused with the update.

Update works fine on my Surface so far, but on my desktop the Edge UI is really chugging. Webpages run just fine, but opening new tabs and windows, clicking in the address bar, etc. all have a delay of about half a second. Also, isn't there meant to be shape writing for the keyboard now?

For some reason, installing 1709 through Windows Update did nothing. It just updated for 30 minutes, then put a message in my update history saying I needed to restart with no option to actually restart. Restarting, of course, did nothing, and the message was still there. The Update Tool also took 30 minutes before restarting, but it actually did something this time.

 Big Thing! After a restart, 1709 now logs in users who were logged in when the restart started and locks the screen! No more waiting at a spinning thing for five seconds after logging in, then having all your startup programs launch and slow things down.

So I posted this in the SSD thread, but maybe its more Windows 10 related... Okay so the story goes, I updated to Windows 10 Fall Creators Updat this afternoon, and now I have these two new entries in the "Optimize Drives" window, any idea what these are? Recovery and that weird \\?\Volume.... are the new ones, any ideas? You guys get the same thing?  Nothing shows in the Disk Management window either...

Im_Special posted:So I posted this in the SSD thread, but maybe its more Windows 10 related... We can eliminate C:, D:, and E:, and Recovery is presumably the Recovery Partition, so at a guess it's the EFI System Partition. It's fine, it won't change more often than once every upgrade cycle at any rate; don't fiddle with it. If you're wondering why you can't optimize it, it's tiny and also FAT32 because that's the only thing an EFI firmware is guaranteed to be able to boot from. I don't remember if it's either or both of those that makes the defragmenter pack it in, though.

Updated to FCU today, the only minor hiccup I experienced is that I had VLANs configured on my Intel NIC which made it appear as if it were multiple network interfaces. That vanished, leaving my machine offline initially as the base device wasn't configured to actually be used. I'm not actually using the VLAN setup right now so I just re-enabled IP communication on the base interface and it was all good, but still a minor annoyance. I'm also seeing the Recovery and EFI partitions showing up in Optimize, I'd say that's probably expected behavior.
