I was just wondering if anyone has received this update yet or downloaded and installed it themselves manually.
I believe it is a large update, indeed almost like a complete overhaul of the Windows 10 Upgrade.

I think microsoft may have pulled the update as there were so many people have their machine messed up on the first day of the release. it seems it was blue screening a lot of computers.

I may be wrong (and someone, please, correct me if I am) but it is my understanding that this is just a cumulative update. Microsoft is not overhauling Windows 10 to the point that it will be called Windows 10.1. Nice anniversary gift to Windows 10 -- one year old!
And, yes, Dean is correct. Yesterday Microsoft released an update to the Anniversary update (which had been released around Aug 2).
Windows 10 Anniversary Update gets a new cumulative update

Hmmm...To start with I'm not happy that updates are forced upon us in Windows 10 Home Edition and from all I've read about this Anniversary Update I'm not convinced that I want it at all.
It may well be a 'cumulative update' but it still seems to be a pretty big one by all accounts and I certainly don't want it - not until they fix a lot of what seems to be wrong with it.
However I won't be given the option as eventually it will appear in my Updates and I won't be able to do much about it except hope that it doesn't muck up my PC.

I forced the install on three machines at home without a problem on any of them. I may be wrong (and someone, please, correct me if I am) but it is my understanding that this is just a cumulative update. Microsoft is not overhauling Windows 10 to the point that it will be called Windows 10.1. Nice anniversary gift to Windows 10 -- one year old! This is not a cumulative update. It is what Microsoft calls a "Feature Release" and it is the way Windows 10 will be updated. There are no plans to have a Windows 10.1 or a Windows 11. These Feature Releases are a very significant installation and while they aren't a complete reinstall of the OS, they are pretty close. You don't have to take the update now, but you have to do it within 8 months. After that, if you haven't updated you will no longer get any security patches. |

Andy,
Thanks for coming to the rescue and correcting me! So, is this more like what Microsoft used to call Service Pack in previous versions of Windows?

My windows 10 updated this morning (Aug. 24).
The update is only for fixing bugs with the anniversary update.
I hope it fixes whatever problems people are having.
I have no bugs that I'm aware of.

Thank you sargenta1 that's more what I thought this update was only I didn't explain it properly. I'm really glad your installations have gone without a problem but I think I'll wait for it as I have only recently upgraded to Windows 10 and can't face dealing with another big download and install at the moment and maybe by the time it's offered to me the bugs will be more or less ironed out. I just want to use my PC for the things I like doing…as I'm sure do we all... |

Andy, thanks! I really need to read up on Windows 10. I have to admit . . . a lot of this is going over my head.
BTW, as of this writing, two of my machines are going through this updating process and so far so good.

I've just checked and apparently have the Anniversary update and the latest update. We had no problems in updating both computers and haven't noticed any bugs.
What we did notice is that Microsoft has again turned off automatic system restore which we had to reinstate:
Control Panel>System & Security>System>System Protection>Configure>Turn on system protection
I cannot understand why it isn't automatically turned on as it has been invaluable in the past.

Thanks for catching this ChrisAnn! I don't know why Microsoft has chosen to turn it off by default.

Interesting, the Anniversary Update and two updates since then did not turn off System Restore on my computer.
Apparently different bugs on difference computers. The only bug I had with the Anniversary Update was a change to my add-on sound card setting - easily fixed.

Well I got the Anniversary update yesterday on my laptop via the normal updates and since then my CPU usage has been running at 98/99% which is not good and I don't have a clue why or how to fix it.
I now have to keep my laptop plugged into the mains most of the time as it is fairly eating through my battery power. Anyone else experienced this at all...

Since the anniversary update there's been at least 3 updates. Manually update your computer and see if that fixes the problems. Regular Win10 updates are cumulative. It should only take one update. Good luck with the updates. |
