Seamonster posted:Anybody having problems downloading KB4345421? Mine is stuck at downloading 0% so I went and got the standalone installer but even that gets stuck on "searching for updates on this computer" have you run the windows update troubleshooter? that thing actually works sometimes, in my experience. 2nd, purge the update cache. instructions here (despite the "last resort" warning this is actually a completely safe operation, as long as updates aren't actively in the process of installing)

My only question about the Notepad stuff is: Does that mean it's no longer a win32 app and is now a UWP/Windows Store application?

I actually liked the default mail app in Windows 10. Then, in the last day, it started serving me ads. Really? Microsoft? They want me to sub to Office365 to remove them, which I don’t need cause I already have Office 2016. Is there some sort group policy I can edit to get rid of this poo poo? Alternatively, suggest nice clean and simple email clients? I’m fine with paying for a client, just not subscribing.

My default mail app changed the quick action from "delete" to "archive" on my ryzen PC but not my Intel laptop and I loving hate it. Everything I've tried doesn't bring the delete function back

This is probably obvious and I'm probably an idiot, but after the latest feature update I lost sound to my headphones (I don't have speakers). After loving around with drivers like a moron I eventually fixed it by unplugging and re-inserting the Y-adaptor cable I'm using to plug a headset in to the headphone and microphone ports. So if you've got Realtek on-board audio and you lose sound just try unplugging and re-inserting your headphone/speaker cable first.

Okay, now I know for a fact something is up with this last Cumulative update, at least with 5-6-year-old Lenovo Ideapads using HDDs. My sister's laptop just installed the latest update, and now the Windows' processes are maxing out system resources and slowing everything down immediately following reboot. I'm now trying to see if running Disk Cleanup and clearing out the update leftovers will help any.

And that's not when it slams the hard drive for hours on end. EDIT: I note things seem to go back to normal on my laptop at least when I used the registry key to disable Windows Defender, but that's obviously not a viable long term solution.

I've run into a really weird thing recently and I don't know what to blame. It's basically suddenly after the last Spring update the computer wont resume from sleep. I tried a bunch of stuff, including drivers, and clearing the BIOS via jumper. I was beginning to think it was just a motherboard failure of some type. Ended up reflashing the BIOS over the top of the same version which you can't always do.. and that fixed it completely. WTF?

Updating the BIOS probably forced a driver refresh/reinstall on a couple of System level devices (ACPI, etc). I had a BIOS flash change the way Ethernet ports were enumerated in Linux the other day.

I kinda like how the UWP settings app doesn't acknowledge the existence of a network adapter, if it's not connected to the Internet or at all.

Now if I could just get Linux Mint properly reinstalled as well, it doesn't seem to be able to be able to stick the grub loader in there. Off topic, though.

I hate problems with CPU usage. So I bought a 10 pro for workstations code. And installed it by fresh installing windows and upgrading. How can I do a fresh install, run a repair?

I'm not sure I understand the question because it sounds like you already did a fresh install. You can do a repair by elevating a command prompt and typing sfc /scannow

They were like GBP13 / $30-35 on eBay for the Windows Pro N for Workstations, but I'm having a hard time finding them now. Of course, buying it from the Microsoft Store is an option, albeit like $360-odd something dollars. I bought three keys in March, but that seller doesn't list anymore N Pro for Workstation licenses at the moment. Tapedump fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Jul 26, 2018 |

Ghostlight posted:I'm not sure I understand the question because it sounds like you already did a fresh install. One of the pro for workstations perks is no games apps, but upgrading from 10 pro leaves them all there. I wondered if it was possible to non upgrade install it, maybe via a refresh or whatever it's called. The key cost £15 on eBay. The N version with the free download media pack should be functionally the same but cheaper, but it won't work with mixed reality headsets.

I usually have CCleaner (free) installed anyways for removing junk, but it comes with a handy uninstall tool that lets you remove all those Windows apps/games individually.
