| 1449043 | 2018-05-01 12:26:00 | I have just updated one of my Dell Vostro 1015 computer's (I collect them :) to W10 V1803. No problems, no data lost. Only had to reinstall a couple of programs, and my phone. Its early days, but so far not too impressed. Slower than it was. Control Panel is not on the right click start menu, have to search for it. | mzee (3324) | ||

The control panel on the right click menu was removed over a year ago, there's been a couple of builds / Upgrades released since then. Its easy enough to get it back, simply click in search, type in Control, then You can either pin it to the start or task bar. Non of mine here have slowed down, the exact opposite actually. |

Its much larger - too much white space, and slower. However, Microsoft is moving everything to it eventually. so better get used to it :badpc: :yuck: |

Having Control Panel and "Settings" shows just what a half arsed hash up parts of Win10 still is. Since MS want us to stop using control panel, either remove it and move EVERYTHING to " settings" or stop trying to hide it :badpc: Insert BM's comment here :) Downloading April 10 update now on the test laptop. Im surprised it was available straight away via Winupdates, I thought MS usually stagger the release of major build downloads , so not everyone is trying to download at once |

| 1449048 | 2018-05-01 23:53:00 | Some people complain that the "setting" is to sparse, and rather have the Old Control panel, easy enough, but what I sometimes do is make available the old folder that's been called "God Mode" usually shuts them up as it overwhelms with ALL the functions :D Simple enough to create, simply right click somewhere ( desktop is good) New - Folder, Name it (you can copy paste the code below into the name) GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} And bingo almost every setting you can want. You can call it something else apart from God Mode, but the numbers/letters - . and { } Must remain. |

| 1449050 | 2018-05-02 10:08:00 | Upgraded 3 PCs overnight. But ended up with one odd icon telling me to install something - but it wouldn't tell me what and it wouldn't go away. After trying several MS update fixers I had to drag out my original MS Office 2010 install CD and let Windows 10 search for what it needed until it was fixed. It seems that my Windows has retained all the Office upgrades for the past 7 years and took only the bits that it needed from the CD. | coldot (6847) | ||
| 1449051 | 2018-05-02 23:00:00 | Ran the update on 4 machines yesterday, via ISO from MS burnt to DVD. All updated from within running Win . Brand new PC , straight out of the box : no issues Very old laptop , un-activated 10 , quite old 10 build : no issues 2 laptops : same brand , different model & spec. Both brand new straight out of the box The cheap & nasty : no problems the higher spec i5,SSD laptop : 1803 would not install, fails at 1% then restarts . So, 1/4 failed . Given it wont install in a brand new laptop ... Im guessing alot of people will have issues The laptop it failed on, twice, of course after that it tried to re-download & re-try : so thats a major issue right there if it just keeps re-downloading . A banana to MS for that :banana :banana :badpc: |

| 1449052 | 2018-05-02 23:57:00 | Holly crap . No Spectre patch for 1803 www.ghacks.net "No microcode update to protect the system against Spectre attacks. Microsoft released updates only for Windows 10 version 1709 and earlier and has not incorporated the updates into Windows 10 version 1803. If you installed the update on the PC in an earlier version and ran the update afterward, you will notice that the PC is no longer protected. Tip: run InSpectre to verify." |
