Windows 10/11 Download

All of my real computer stuff is done on Debian machines but I still have to support Windows Pee Cees and servers.

I’m not missing that part of my job responsibilities in retirement…

The only way I'll go back to Windows is if they bring back the paperclip.

Bob was a standalone software application that failed so badly that somebody included it in Windows.

Will this be what Microsoft will release to the rest of us on the second Tuesday in October?

Just checking....................

The 24th was the second Tuesday in September. The new features get turned on some time later.

I think that most users won't actually see this update until next week as, by default, there is a seven day delay on "upgrades" (at least in the most popular version of Windows).

Installed KB5043145 on one of my 2009 year model boards and that only took about 20 minutes after I downloaded it manually? The file was about 750mb IIRC.

Guess I'll wait until "patch Tuesday" to do the others to make sure that update is the same as the one I just installed.

Just saying....................

Did anyone who was able to download run into any of these issues:

Do not install! Recent Windows 11 update wreaks havoc and breaks PCs

Windows update KB5043145 is rendering some computers unusable. Here's what you need to know and what you can do about it.

Updated my Windows 11 Drive last night. Took a while, which led me to believe that the obvious and profound changes would be more easy to spot, but I suppose many are under the hood or features that I don’t use often.

Took a while, which led me to believe that the obvious and profound changes would be more easy to spot, but I suppose many are under the hood or features that I don’t use often.

One of the more profound (and intentionally hidden) changes is doubtless the non-reversible installation of Recall.

The ability to support 7zip may be a win for those who have never heard of it. Those who use it will have already installed a solution. I doubt many Windows users ever encounter tar files.

The return of some Explorer functionality (adding additional steps) may be appreciated.

Performance on some AMD CPUs may be increased as they no longer have to suffer a workaround for problems with certain CPUs.

The more "improvements" Microsoft makes, the more Windows 11 is able to compete with previous versions in terms of restored practical functionality and customization.
