Windows 10

I do have my computer to do automatic updates, but WOW! This morning at 5:45 a.m., it said it would finish updates and restart at 5:59 a.m., so save your work, or you could click to "Restart Now" which I did. It took two and a quarter HOURS to do the updates.:laughing: And that's running at 12.60 Mbps download and 5.81 Mbps upload Internet speed.

Bird you can control updates by turning Windows Update on/off. To turn it off: right-click Start button -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> double-click Windows Update -> set Startup type to disabled -> Apply -> OK

To turn it back on: repeat above steps except set Startup type to automatic

I think that is the one that Windows calls the "Anniversary Update". It was YYUUUUhuge on mine too. But a couple of things that haven't been working right seem to be resolved. I have an older (2010) ASUS designed for Win 8. The screen had been hanging for 15-30 secs at a time, which now seems to resolved. I think it's because the new update is more sensitive to hardware capabilities and limitations.

Yes aka version 1607. The download is 4GB (more than the original Windows 10 last year)! M$ doesn't seem to realize that many rural folks have monthly data caps to consider. That's why it's important to have the ability to control Windows Update.

We received the big update a couple of weeks ago, it pretty much hosed my older sound blaster card, no new driver updates for it, which meant our digital speakers would no longer work. There is a good realtek sound on the motherboard but it is not compatible with the speaker system. We won't even go into the issues with the Seagate NAS we were using for backup....

I miss my Windows 95!!
I found everything I needed and it worked most of the time.
It seems like every POS who writes a program has it alter everyone elses program and then neither works right!

That wasn't actually a update that was a build version change. In the run box, bottom left type "winver" and then click on winver in the pop up window. A window will then open on top left of your desktop. I bet you will find it says build or version 1607. The old number was 1511.

Yep, version 1607.

Windows 95 was a steaming pile of crap. The first functional version of Windows was W98 and even that crashed all the time. I'm very happy with W10. It is a stable multi-tasking system that makes full use of my quad core HT cpu.
