Windows 10 Pro ( 1903 )…Just installed May updates with, no profile problems, audio problems, or printer problems, or any of the other bugs being discussed. Everything went smooth with no problems.

Windows 10 Pro…( 1903 ) Just did install April updates and so far no negative side effects and both my printers are working fine. All seems well so far.

UPDATE:    I read where if you don’t keep up to date on the chip set updates they can impact your regular monthly updates. So I went ahead and tried to install the update and its telling me I’m already up to date, so that answers my question that I had. The chip set update is obviously not the right one for my PC, otherwise it would have installed. This was through Window Update.

I’ve been reading the above about KB 4497165 and am wondering if one even needs this update? CPU-Z is reading my CPU as Skylake only without all the other letters and numbers that are listed after Skylake in the KB article. Can someone shed some light on this ?

I just updated to version 71.0 and it totally trashed my user interface, all my custom tweaking is gone. I recovered with an image and all is back to normal. I won’t be updating again for a while. Kinda wonder if the folks at Mozilla aren’t taking update lessons from Microsoft. This isn’t the first time a Firefox update has trashed the browser. If anyone from Mozilla is reading this, how bout being a little more careful with those updates. Also, it seems like there is a Firefox update every other week lately. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Windows 10, 1809. The local news this morning reported on the IE patch and went on to say that you needed to install it manually, as it was not available through Windows Update. If this is the case, and we need this patch, can someone provide a link to the catalog for it. Seem kinda strange if this is that important that it would not come down through WU.

Just for the heck of it, I installed the Aug. updates on Windows 10 1809 this morning. I also went ahead just to see what would happen, and installed KB 4486153  .Net 4.8. My Brother MFC-9130CW printer /scanner would no longer scan without bring up an error. I checked and my hardware and software  was up to date. I uninstalled the .Net 4.8 and it’s working just fine. The advice not to install the .Net update was good advice. If you do install it, check your devices to see if they still work. If you do have problems, uninstalling will fix them. I also did my Windows 7 and all went well there also. ( Did not install the optional .Net update ) I imaged both PC’s before doing this experiment.

So ,is the recommendation to not install 4.8 still valid and if I understand correctly , go ahead with the cumulative  updates to .Net when Woody gives the okay ?

Regarding the Aug. .Net update KB 4486153, which is not recommended to install. I noticed that I’m now being offered KB 4512192, a new cumulative update to .Net which includes 3.5, 4.7.2 and 4.8. If I don’t install 4.8, how is this going to impact my decision not to install 4.8? If 4.8 is not installed, will this break the install or fail to update the other .Net versions ? Should I hide both updates ?

Is the telemetry going to be in the group A monthly roll up or group B, or both ?

I just checked, and same here. I going to assume that we’re good to go. If not, could someone please correct us.

Windows 7 x64 SP1…I’m not showing KB4499164 in my installed updates. The catalog shows it as a monthly roll up. I’ve been doing group A monthly roll ups. Should I already have this ? I’m not showing it. My guess, is perhaps it was part of a monthly roll up with a different KB number ?

A couple of weeks ago , I followed PKCano’s instructions for going directly from 1803 to 1809, skipping 1903. I have had no problems here and I set my Group Policy the same as I had it in 1803. I have not had 1903 offered at all. I set the Feature update defer setting to 365. I’m liking 1809 better than ever, because I have software that has never worked with any version of Windows 10 since 1511 that is working perfectly with 1809.

Nice ! I’m one that does not like change, I get used to something and it’s very annoying to have to get used to it again all over. I wish we had some choice in the matter. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. That goes for changes in the GUI also. Oh well, our opinions have and always will fall on Microsoft’s deaf ears

Update:  Booted up this morning and the PC froze up at the first screen. A restart using the power option in the lower right side, resulted in a successful boot. Looks like a few bugs remain in 1809 or it’s just my PC choking on it. I’m going to assume that MS changed 1809 dark and light themes as per my question above.
