But hey, it is a “New Look”!

AskWoody LoungerI am at Win10 Pro v1709, build 16299.665. I have mine set to a metered connection. I don’t go seeking (why go looking for trouble?). I have opened the “Update & security” menu, just to see if anything gets dropped into the “Windows Update” section at the top. Nothing yet. I have my settings locked down very tightly, not just with the metered connection and deferring updates. I went into the Registry and shut off the Update function. I have no need for Microsoft to give me whatever they deem “good”. I do manual updates by loading from the Catalog and also run MBSA to verify that my updates are keeping my system secure.
I most likely won’t upgrade to 1803 and will wait until 1809 is really ready for prime time.Windows 10 Pro x64 v1909, Windows 7 Home Premium x64, Windows Vista Home Premium x64 -

AskWoody LoungerAugust 20, 2018 at 1:02 pm in reply to: Patch Lady – Bitlocker on 1803 pauses during updates #211834Susan, we are using BitLocker at work and have seen the same issue. The main difference is the version. Here is what we are using:
Windows 10 v1709
BitLocker enabled on a computer with a TPM (most PCs are Dell T5810 and T7810 flavors).
BitLocker is enabled with a password/phrase.
After the installation of updates, BitLocker is paused and must be resumed manually.

Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |
