Updated version of Windows 10 October 2018 Update released to Windows Insiders

The file deleting issue:
"...occurred if Known Folder Redirection (KFR) had been previously enabled, but files remain in the original “old” folder location vs being moved to the new, redirected location. KFR is the process of redirecting the known folders of Windows including Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Screenshots, Videos, Camera Roll, etc. from the default folder location, c:\users\username\<folder name>, to a new folder location."

 

There's a nice small portable utility that does just that, disables windows updates and, more important, prevents Microsoft software to re-enable them.

This utility doesn't disable Windows Spyware but it's cool and easy.

Thanks for the input.
I've already seen "unofficial" Windows v1809 with the issue fixed. Trustworthy ones, they're from the same group I've been using Windows releases from since late Win 7 versions.

 

Would the ones from that group happen to be "lite" versions? I was thinking it would be nice to set up one of those, but never followed up on what i found and lost track of things.

 

They aren't lite versions. They are normal distributions with nice additions (always with official tools) like only important updates, a couple of system utils that many people install, option to activate Windows, sometimes with Office included, and so on...
That's why I say they are 100% trustworthy. At least as much as official Microsoft ones.

 

Thanks

 

You're welcome. I could give you my steps to optimize Windows 10 that gives me both in RAM and CPU very similar results than a Lite version.
Not rocket science but since my computer is very old I've experience.

 

havent powered on my stationary for two weeks (been on my macbook) so probably non of these updates have been automatically installed.

is there anything in it that helps audio or 3d or design work?
or is it just looks and emojis, just like osx nowadays

 

Thanks, I do a little tweaking but with a newer computer (i7-7700 non-OC) and 32G RAM thinks run fine.
My main reason would really be a little less junk and to make my backups a little smaller as I do LOTS of backups and save them.
I have 2 or 3 install backups customized the way I like with few programs on them, and thought it might be nice to have a really slim Win10 o start with. I think it is more a holdover of feelings for the lite XPs (and Win7 on an older machine) I made back in the day when it made a huge difference in performance and space savings.
I still have the Win7 all set up and was going to upgrade hardware a bit but found it began to seem a poor investment of both time and money, as I had an OEM Win7 and was unsure about the results and the longevity.

 

Microsoft resumes rollout of Windows 10 version 1809, promises quality changes

After a delay of more than five weeks, Microsoft has resumed the rollout of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update. The company also promised sweeping changes in the way it approaches quality issues, including better communication with customers.

Microsoft on Wednesday resumed the rollout of Windows 10 version 1809.
The re-release of the so-called October 2018 Update comes more than after the company pulled the original installation files from its download servers and stopped its scheduled delivery through Windows Update. From a report:

In a blog post, Microsoft's John Cable, the director of Program Management for Windows Servicing and Delivery, says the data-destroying bug that triggered that unprecedented decision, as well as other quality issues that emerged during the unscheduled hiatus, have been "thoroughly investigated and resolved."

 

I already had the 1809 update so for me it was just a minor update without any issues

 

hope this might help..useful resource in general

Did anyone get the server reg issues rolling peoples win version to home from professional?

 

yes i had the issue but was resolved quickly, and now the 1809 update is rolling out, if you already updated to 1809 with no issues of file deletion then you will get the culmative only to bring it up inline with the correct version released today.

 

hi guys, did you face problems with audio drivers on the last build of windows? I'm experiencing issues with my Focusrite drivers (that I've never had before): I can't play Cubase and WMP together. like driver could not handles more than one software. before updating (by formatting laptop and installing manually) I was able to do this... do you know?

 

@JudoLudo
Check preferences, audio driver, there should be option release asio driver in background, enable it and you should be ok

 

nope, no solution. checking that setting, it only pause Cubase playback when I open other things. and it's terrible.

I stil have that problem, I already contacted Focusrite supporto, they told me to uncheck "enable driver esclusivity of the application", but still have the problem. it seems like Windows fucked it up. before this new LTSC, I didn't have problems.

 

This is very important data, LTSC (former LTSB) versions are great but they're the most "different" from the rest of Windows 10 flavors.

 

yes but I've used LTSB for years, never a problem. now this. I can't understand

 

I´ve only had one focusrite interface, 2i2. When I got it, my old pci card esp1010 had better performance than it(in latency), waited like year the support to answer why the performance was so bad, never got answer, sold it and couldn´t be happier. They have been the worst drivers ever I tried, and there´s a lot(though they may have changed, but never looked their products again after that experiment)
