It could be the hidden updater named Update Orchestrator, there is a task scheduler for it, and off the top of my head there should be an executable located in...... Just windows folder I think "C:\WINDOWS\".. named "UpdateAssistant"... I'm not on 10 at the moment so I'm unable to check for sure, but from my past experiences with 10 after turning off Windows Update, Microsoft has this update orchestrator in place to bypass windows update.
Windows 10 Pro (x64) 1803-17134.320. However I just got an 0xc1900130 error message when the WU installation completed.
I've just installed the 1809 on my laptop. Now any Windows Store apps and Edge can't connect to the Internet (Chrome, Firefox and any old-school Applications can without issues, however). Not sure how to fix it. Another big mess from MS. Also, Automatic Driver Updates can't be disabled (at least the old way) anymore. Even DDU doesn't seem to be able to disable them successfully and Windows installs some ancient video card drivers every time.
Yes, there is a major issue with 1809. UWP engine have broken networking. Judging by Insider forums it's been there since few months already, but was totally ignored by Microsoft. What's the point of all Insider program?
I think I won't rush now. I installed it but then returned back to rs4, is that event log error fixed or still numerous warnings every min? Something about user profile and dcom conflicts..
That's not how it works. You can sit on old windows for very long time. Never enable windows update. Then you download iso which skips few releases. Does not really matter as long as ISO contains newer version of windows. Mount directly via windows => Run setup => Update and Keep my data. It switches windows binary completely and old ones are in windows.old directory. This kind of update has no issues as it does not care about any files you have, no dependencies as everything is exchanged. It is practically clean installation which kept all your custom applications, user data, registry...
So if I were to set Windows updates to "off" in the settings, isn't that really just a placebo slider that does nothing? Windows seems to reset settings quite a bit with 10 (my biggest gripe). The Windows updates are bigger threats to me than not being "up to date" on security flaws.
I guess: blackbird -u = Enable/Disable auto-installation of Windows updates / Sets to manual download and install only. Then maybe metered connection settings.
Cool. I dont mind installing this update, i trust microsoft it will not blow my computer and impregnate my woman.
I don't know how to describe the feeling, but logging into 1809 for the first time felt wrong. Edge was literally showed down my throat. Also Windows Update still pushes AMD 17.1.1 which seems kind of weird. However now that it's done, time to customize the sheathz out of my system and install a few games. My installation took ~12 minutes from boot (3 restarts) to completion installing from USB to M.2 with 7600K @ 4.7GHz.
I feel like bricking my system, so I'm manually updating to it since my regular Windows update is stuck in "frack you I'm installing broken drivers to break your sound card no matter what you set, and some Razer drivers for some reason even though you currently have no Razer devices connected" mode. That's an interesting mode, Microsoft. I'll let you guys know the list of things which break if my system can still boot. Edit: Jesus Christ this update is taking forever. It feels like it's been half an hour and it's only going at about 1% per 10 minutes, that's on an SSD using a 4.2GHz 4770K. Don't bother update to this unless you're leaving it overnight or something.
I think this is the first windows big update that doesn't rollback my network adapter config to default (Wake up on magic packet Off, etc).
No problems updating, so far so good. Actually can't say I've had any issues with any Windows 10 update that wasn't in the fast ring.
