Try updating via Outlook in Office Account and see if it has an update. I doubt you will because office doesn’t update with the same frequency as windows and they are keeping the installation packages current.

AskWoody LoungerI looked into it and Storage Sense is ruled out as the culprit. Thanks for the heads up though. I talked to my right hand and he said that by default, Storage sense is disabled despite out GP. Since we are using Enterprise we don’t need to upgrade until 2022 so I’m not going invest anymore time researching this build. Maybe they will patch sooner or later but I doubt it.

AskWoody LoungerWe have storage Sense blocked via GP but I can research that.

AskWoody Lounger2004 failed our pre-deployment testing. We experienced thrashing yet windows showed only 4 of 16g of memory being used. Then it progressively got worse. One of the machines used for testing was a Lenovo and the other three were Dell. The Lenovoa began experiencing this phenomena within a day but the Dells lasted three days before the deterioration started and experienced catastrophic events which prevented writing to the event logs (that’s our unsolved mystery). Stay on 1909. You have until 2021 until Microsoft will end support and force you to upgrade.
