1454190 2018-10-08 18:44:00 Hi all,

So found this (www.pcworld.idg.com.au) article on the PCWorld AU site.

There seems to be a few wonky things happening with this new update.

It does seem to be random/hit and miss as not everyone seems affected by this issue?

I downloaded and installed 1809 on Wednesday 3 October. It took about 15-20 minutes to download and install.

Everything went fine, no deleted files and the machine seems a little speedier to be honest.

Just curious how many other PF1er's have installed 1809 and if you had any issues?

Thanks,

1454191 2018-10-08 19:01:00 Had 1809 installed on my desktop without any issues. The new clipboard will be great when it finally gets to my laptop :) pcuser42 (130)
1454192 2018-10-08 19:15:00 No issues here with 2 of my desktops. Don't really notice any 'improvements' after the update. bk T (215)
1454193 2018-10-08 19:19:00 Updated my main comp and found a couple of installed programs got deleted just reinstalled them

Will wait to upgrade the other comp as there will be fixes coming through

Have to remember it's a major upgrade that takes a while

1454194 2018-10-08 19:46:00 All my Computers have been upgraded, only one did it by its self, no problems what so ever. Have also done a few customers computers before the "bug" was discovered again no problems at all.

Have installed two as fresh installs ( from W8) but of course this wont have any affect of course.

Brings home the fact people should back up their data regularly , as at any time something can happen that will cause it to be lost. Doesn't need to be software, could be a hardware failure, your computer stolen etc.

1454195 2018-10-08 20:16:00 This computer brought up some error when it tried to update through WU. So, I did a clean install with the ISO

Then it was fine. I also did a clean install one of the other computers here. That was fine too.

The other computer, updated through WU no prob at all (I didn't do a clean install on it)

has the system image option be removed ?
Control panel, backup
if gone , is the old style (7) backup still there , does that still have the tick box to also create an image

Ive been reading that MS 'depreciated' the image/backup , and are MS are recommending using 3rd party software instead.
I dont have a 1809 PC to check, its still there in 1803.

Could be a few issues if thats gone or going :-(

1454198 2018-10-09 05:27:00 How can I tell whether I have 08 or 09. Thanks. PJ Poppa John (284)
1454199 2018-10-09 06:00:00 You could go, start, PC Settings, Update & Security, OS build info (in blue)
Your version will be listed under Windows specifications.
