      Does clicking “Resume Updates” make you a seeker, like the “Check for Updates” button does?

       

      Where is “resume update” I don’t have this button ?

      Win 10, 1909, Febuary patches installed exept  KB4535996 (optionnal update).

      When I run wushowhide, I see KB4497165, the microcode patch but when
      I click on “search for updates”, it doesn’t show ?
      I tought that maybe I have to install KB4535996 (optionnal update) first ?

      Install on different machines to see if any have issues. If they don’t, patch the rest!

      How do you know if there is an issue, it could take months before you realize that

      something was screwed up.

      Looks like someone who reads the headlines and doesn’t digest the article. I appreciate Woody and Susan’s approach to patching. I do often patch my clients sooner than Woody gives the all-clear, but that’s due to my worry about liability issues. I always test patches on numerous machines first, including my main workstation before updating my clients.

      How do you “test a patch” ????

      Win10 version 1909 bugs continue
      The December patch didn’t fix the long-decried File Explorer Search bug in Win10 version 1909.

      Are there other bugs?

      Yes there are other bugs with Win 10 1909 like KB4530684 refusing to

      install on a lot of PC. Just do a search on the web. And the suggested workaround

      dows not fix the issue.

      Update my video driver and monitor in native resolution and it’s still blurry.

      I use a VGA Dsub15 cable but it was ok with Win 7.

      Many complaints about that on the web, so i’m not alone.

      Conclusion: problem not fixed !!!

      When most of the planet will have moved on Win10 and feel confortable with it, they will stop supporting it and then we are going to get used to Win 11 or wathever they will call it.

      It never stops. It takes a long time for tweaking an OS for average knowledge people and

      then we have to start again. Very annoying !

      I have try this and it doesn’t work.
      If anybody knows how to install an update from the MS update catalog, please post how to do it.

      Because we have no feed back to know if the rool-up updates are working.

      You didn’t understand my problem. I don’t have any problem with windows update, it is working fine.
      My problem is when I want to install manually an update dowloaded from the MS update catalog.
      I double click on the .msu file and it doesn’t install (message: “looking for updates on this computer” last
      for ever.
