For those of you with iPhones, you may have noticed the offer of both iOS 15.7 and the new feature release of iOS 16. For now, I’m recommending sticking with 15.7. I’m tracking several bugs with iOS 16, but the good news is that they are slated to be fixed soon. These bugs are most often seen when taking pictures or videos with Instagram or TikTok; they cause shaky videos or blurry images. Taking images with the native camera works fine.
Some users are reporting annoying clicks and pop-ups after the upgrade to iOS 16, due to additional requirements for privacy in the operating system. For example, every cut-and-paste action results in a request for approval, such as “Do you want to allow this?” It’s unclear whether this bug will be adjusted in the near future.
All these bugs have been fixed in iOS 16.0.2.
There is no need to stay on iOS 15 providing your iPhone is iOS 16 compatible.
There should be a reason why you lost control of Intel HD after Sept. updates. Some 3rd party / registry tweaks ? Some unorthodox GPU settings ?
Not the latest GPU (gfx_win_101.3413_101.2111.exe) driver ?
After installing IOS 16.0.2, every few times I turn the phone on I get a popup something like “Set up Apple Pay now to finish setting up phone”. Very irritating. I don’t want Apple Pay but they sure want my money! I guess this is kind of like MS trying to force creating a MS account instead of a local account.
Why cannot corporations be satisfied with selling you the products you want without trying to squeeze every penny they can out of you with irritating pressure? This kind of pressure actually works in reverse making you less likely to buy that and future products.
“We recommend that you first visit the Windows Vista Compatibility Center”
Information about the Windows Vista Compatibility Center
“We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.”
They’re papering over the cracks.
Microsoft is still deciding what it wants to call it. On some documentation sites it’s 2022. Others it’s 22H2. On the marketing blogs it’s 2022. Windows release health | Microsoft Learn On this page it’s listed both ways.
Of that I have no doubt. However, Microsoft Windows Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.521) does not list “Windows 2022” anywhere, not even in the registry. For me, that’s definitive. And there’s this:
2022 is the update name and 22H2 is the version number. It’s consistent with previous versions (but only one update per year now, so no need for month or season).
Every update for Windows 10 had both an update marketing name and a version number:
1511 November Update
1607 Anniversary Update
1703 Creators Update
1709 Fall Creators Update
1803 April 2018 Update
1809 October 2018 Update
1903 May 2019 Update
1909 November 2019 Update
2004 May 2020 Update
20H2 October 2020 Update
21H1 May 2021 Update
21H2 November 2021 Update
I like you, @b so I did this just for you.
Since I run Hardened Windows it was a simple matter to restore my pre-upgrade B side OS in my dual boot PC and boot over there, check Windows update, and get a snip.
Once I got the snip, I booted back into the A side and restored my upgraded B side. I even timed it; 17 minutes 51 seconds from start to finish. Here’s the snip:
When I upgraded, I clicked “Install now”. I don’t see “2022” listed in the “Updates available to install”. Do you?
I have also been unable to locate “2022” in either side of my dual boot, including the registry.
I don’t install the marketing name (it isn’t offered as a download), I install the upgrade version.
Sometimes Windows update announces “Updates available to download” with a “Download now” button. Other times it announces “Updates available to install” with a “Install now” button. At any rate, that’s the information I rely upon RE updates/upgrades.
The .net’s have a parent KB and then sub’s.
You should have 5017308 or already got it?
The KB5017903 – is a .net core
KB5017500 is the sub KB
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/dotnet-framework-september-2022-security-and-quality-rollup/ See if the listing there helps?

KB5017500 Is a Cumulative update for .NET – it is actually a BUNDLE of updates.
If you download it from the Catalog, you will see two updates with different KB numbers. See screenshot.
KB5017022 is for .NET 3.5/4.8
KB5017025 is for .NET 3.5/4.8.1
Windows Update will install the correct one for the versions of .NET the installed on your computer. But you will not see either in Windows Update, only the Cumulative updateKB5017500 will be there. The KB that IS installed will show up in Installed Updates.
Because they are a pain in the rear and the Microsoft documentation doesn’t list them by KB. I’ll update the list.

Install did not succeed, because the HP-INTEL-branded version is needed
No, it does not. I use a Lenovo laptop and never used their version of Intel or Nvidia GPU drivers.
You should uninstall the HP GPU drivers, run ‘check for new hardware’ to install Microsoft’s version and then install Intel driver.
For sure you can hop over August and jump to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/september-13-2022-kb5017308-os-builds-19042-2006-19043-2006-and-19044-2006-e4ea187e-28e8-4d4b-808b-2794babdce4c
Depending on your deferral settings, WU just may not be showing you Sept but rather showing you August is my guess?
Thisis exactly what I am showing @SB:
I expected I could jump over. Pretty sure I have before. Perhaps will get offered tomorrow. For now, I see no reason not to install what is shown. Even though some not listed on your lists. Agree?
Dear MS… your install issues should not be called an “out of band”. That should be reserved for Security updates only.
Susan Bradley Patch Lady/Prudent patcher
How do you expect them to fix the issue then? they are already late two months and didn’t notice the obvious non localized setup pages
and they are obligated to Cumulative Update model, they cannot release a small update for it
Out-of-band releases may be provided to fix a recently identified issue or vulnerability. They are used in atypical cases, such as security vulnerabilities or a quality issue, when devices should be updated immediately instead of waiting for the next monthly quality update release. Out-of-band releases are cumulative, meaning that they include the updates from the previous “B” and/or “C” release as well as the additional fix.
KB5017531 .NET Framework Cumulative Rollup (as it appears in Windows Update) contained only one new update which was for .NET Framework 4.8. It installs (in Installed Updates) as KB5017038 Update for .NET Framework 4.8 if you have that version installed.
The Servicing Stack Update, KB5017398, won’t show up in Windows Update until after you install the other updates and restart. Go back and look at Windows Update again if you missed it.
I would check that your video card driver is up to date?

This time I’m happy to report I did not exactly duplicate JD’s results on my one remaining 8.1 Pro machine.
Installed the latest SSU from the MS Catalog, then installed the Rollup. A clean restart and I was back up and running. A little slower than normal, but only by a minute or so.
Wasn’t offered any .NET updates because I don’t have 4.8 installed.
It’s a shame 8.1 is going away. Over the last three years, for me, the update process has been rock solid. Fast, easy to control, no drama. In other words just like Linux Mint!
I just happened across this article today on the ReviewGeek website:
Apparently (according to the article), quite a few people have reported this happening to their Windows systems in the last week or so following this month’s updates. I haven’t seen this myself; but then again, I’m still on Win 10 — and tightly controlling updates with WuMgr. But, just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anyone here has experienced this — where Spotify gets installed on your system as the result of this month’s Windows updates.
The author says that “Neither Microsoft nor Spotify have commented on this story.” So I’m just wondering if these reports are really accurate.
(17) Windows 10 automatically installed spotify on my pc : Windows10 (reddit.com)
It’s hit and miss on my personal machines.
I think what happened is that the store app got updated and on some machines it auto launched. Of the four machines (all win10) I have at home, one of them the app was updated and when I logged on to the machine one day, Spotify auto opened up. On the other three it didn’t, but in reviewing the store app install dates, I could tell it got updated.
So the title “spotify is installing on some windows machines”… I would say is accurate based on my personal experience. Not all, but sure some of them.

I’m seeing Spotify pop up every time I log in to a Win 10 Home machine I “inherited” with a Microsoft Account (it has only a Microsoft Account). This has been happening for about a week. And, in the last couple days I’m also seeing Evernote pop up.
But I’m not seeing any of this on a Win 10 Pro machine with only a Microsoft Account, or on a Win 10 Pro machine I “upgraded” from Win 8.1 Pro and that has only a local account.
In regards to the Home machine, Microsoft will you please just leave me alone and quit trying to shove stuff onto my computer that to me is completely useless? All you succeed in doing is to make me dislike you even more.
