• Reports of Win10 1903-like bugs in the September Win10 1809 patch, KB 4512578

    An anonymous poster just advised:

    I’m running 1809 Pro.  I had the start button won’t work problem, the Outlook won’t start problem, the search won’t work problem AND all the icons on the Task Bar disappeared.

    I ended up uninstalling KB4512578 to fix my machine.  I also ran the Microsoft utility to hide this update until further notice.  It’s been three days and so far so good.

    Are you seeing similar problems with 1809?

    I wonder if he/she had web search turned off….

    UPDATES: I mis-identified the patch. The one this reader’s having problems with is the first September cumulative update for 1809. No indication whether the October cumulative update induces the same weird behavior. And it looks like my hunch was right – the poster had Web Search turned off.
