1427466	2016-10-16 04:25:00	Wainui, do you know if build 14926 will be the next release or are there several to precede it? And, will 14926 install everything and then give me the right of choice in subsequent updates, or, will there be a choice in the initial download? Just no point in me having a big clean-out only to have them put it all back. See the latest release is 14393, Windows Media Creation Tool 7576	Lawrence (2987)

1427470	2016-10-16 11:42:00	In reading through this thread it made me wonder if Windows 10 is truly a "rolling release" or not? I've heard that it may be. This page I thought explained it well, albeit from a Linux user's point of view: www.reddit.com It's an interesting read, especially the first few posts before it gets technical: Question: "Is windows 10 a rolling release?" Answer 1: "Yes except it rolls so hard that it crashes." Answer 2: "Then smiles at you when it finally blue screens." :lol:	Rod J (451)

1427473	2016-10-16 20:50:00	B.M., wife's W7 pc was an upgrade to W10, which any novice, there is a better word, "but this old brain can't bring to mind", left it to Microsoft to do. This morning we went to register our new AA/Onecard cards, managed the wife's but guess who has butted in, old Bill and left her with a blank screen. One can't even do the usual ctrl/alt/del to see who it is in fact. 15minutes and her screen is now showing the new task manager function, well it does remember key strokes,rofl. wai, there must be a way to hold these updates to a more expedient time of day !!!!, surely big business wouldn't put up with this s h i t. lurking.

Big Business run Winupdates via there own severs , so have more control over it. Medium/small businesses who run a single SBS server , have the issue of that server based update system failing due to lack of regular WSUS maintenance; leaving a mess. :) Nothing new here. XP used to have lots of issues with Winupdates (plenty of XP's just used to stop updating back in the day) . And plenty of XP's were stuck on the SP they came with. Win7 used to have 'issues' with 'failed' winupdates. No big deal, was often just an update that downloaded but didnt install as it wasnt needed Win7 also had some issues with SP1 not intalling via winupdate (for any no of reasons) , requiring a manual SP1 install Updates from old top newer Win versions didnt allways work perfectly in the past either. Would anyone dare to say that even Linux has zero issues with a major OS update So lets not pretend this is just a 10 issue . :)	1101 (13337)
1427475	2016-10-16 21:41:00	Would anyone dare to say that even Linux has zero issues with a major OS update So lets not pretend this is just a 10 issue . :) Oh, I agree. There are many horror stories of failed Ubuntu Linux (and it's variants) upgrades to the next release (i.e. 14.04 --> 16.04 or even 15.10 --> 16.04, etc). In fact, I have never even attempted to upgrade this way as I just don't trust it to work 100%. I have always upgraded Kubuntu using the clean install method (wipe system partition and start fresh with a newly downloaded ISO). I know these updates aren't "rolling" release upgrades (some Linux distros are rolling release distros, however). I don't think rolling release updates are the way to go though as I value stability over bleeding edge any day of the week. I'm sticking with Kubuntu 14.04 until 18.04 comes out as I don't like the stability issues 16.04 has on some systems (mine unfortunately too). It varies so much, some have no problems and others have frequent crashes. It's some combination of hardware that just doesn't work well, the developers are working on it. Sorry if I'm introducing too much Linux stuff here in this Windows 10 thread but the comparisons are interesting, to me at least. :)	Rod J (451)
