After fearful sweating if the v1809 updates would trash the machines, i updated to v1809.348 (is that correct terminology? build 17763.348) on a i7 laptop and desktop last week. I imaged backups before updating, though the installations went smoothly with no problems. Took about 90 minutes each.
After updating, all my documents and files are still there. Yea! Then i updated to new GeForce drivers in both machines and played a couple of games (Rainbow6 & Counterstrike) to see if anything there broke as had happened to some. Ran PCMark10 Basic and Furmark with the same good results as before the update. Ran Gibson’s InSpectre, and the patches for Spectre and Meltdown were still effective in these builds.
I imaged backups. But i’ve noticed that the System Restores i created before both the v1803 and v1809 updates, had been deleted, and the system restore functions were turned ‘Off’. Easy to turn back on, but has anyone noticed this too?
Overall smooth installs of v1809, been using for a week, no complaints.
