Just updated to 2004
Thursday, May 28, 2020 by ALMonty | Discussion: Personal Computing
I updated to Windows 2004. This is a big update which means it reinstalls Windows. Everything went smoothly except a couple of things for me:
If you changed anything in the registry it will be deleted
All icons will be reset
I have a Fence on my third monitor and it keeps jumping back to monitor one.
I had Microsoft games installed and this was removed
One good thing if you have a dedicated graphics card Task manager shows it's temp.
If I find anything else I report it.

Instead of an update it re installs Windows. All your files and folders are all there. It puts a setting to go back to the previous version.

Problematic updates have become the norm for Windows10.

I'd advise putting it off as long as possible.

I read that and none of that has anything to do with my machine. I do have Bluetooth, but I don't use it.

No preview here. Not to overload their servers there're sending it out little at a time. I just went to the Microsoft site and did an update from there. I've been using it all day everything is just as it was. I do have a folder called Windows.old just incase I want to go back. It's 20GB I want to delete it now, but I'll hold on to it for a week.

I also read some articles where they listed possible problems. Certain video cards, programs yadda yadda and I had none of those on my PC. The update was there so I pulled the trigger. So far no problems. 😃

The report says it had to do with Nvida drivers version 388.xx but as of now it's 445.xx. So I don't know who's using old drivers.

Oh, so Microsoft puts out another piece of crap then? That's putting it nicely too!
