Anybody know what’s going on?

MSing patches and vague/ MSing descriptions = SNAFU

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...

Probably not even a single person on this planet…

OT, but what is the definition of “transparency“?

Not sure if this helps but yesterday, Sept 12, that 1803 update ran all day and used about 5 GB, yes gigabytes, of my bandwidth. Finally got disgusted and rebooted to stop it. Then Windows Update came back with an error code. Tried again and got same error. Then went to Microsoft Update catalog and saw 4 manual downloads for the 1803. Downloaded those manually in less than 100 MB and 10 minutes and now Win 10 is working fine. Now I am seriously thinking of buying a Chrome Book next time. Also had to disable Service Host Delivery Optimization for using GB’s of bandwidth eveytime I turn on the Laptop.

It seems that if an update fails to install, Windows junks everything it downloaded and starts over.  I’ve witnessed this with feature upgrades on our client systems.  It will just download the 4 GB over and over again on the troubled systems.  I’ll run the installer locally from my ISO and it’ll install fine.

That is a riot. Imagine Windows 10 cell phones eating up 5GB of data usage in a single day.

Well KB4100347 just showed up in the last Hour or so, wasn’t here @Logon approx. 1500MST, seems to me for Win10 1803 Home there was two updates Septembers KB4457128 and this KB41000347 (which promptly disappeared the next day) and now apparently back. Seems a bit later in the day here normally on Patch Tuesdays they show up between 1100-1200MST Hmmm? Nothing in the Web Page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/4099479 not surprising really and not much in the Catalogue: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/4099479 Another “Quality” update reissued perhaps? the size of it, its likely an SSU.

And another whole swathe of Windows 10 microcode updates just came through for 1607 to 1803.

After installing KB4457128 all my mapped drives were disconnected but still shown in Windows Explorer with the red X. To restore the connectivity and browse them again I have to write their path in the address bar in windows explorer. Very annoying, especially in a company, where this has to be done manually to all employees.
I believe this is very important issue!
