And what they may not mention is that this update will install and restart your PC without even asking permission.

It was a case of did a grey box just appear in the corner? Then a pale blue screen pops up with restarting.... Did it save the open windows and expecially the text on those windows? NO.

A Chrome browser window re-opened but not my document and not Opera or Firefox.

So glad i blocked the updates on my main PC. Sneaky though it gets reinstated after some updates.

I had ample notice that the install was complete and a restart was scheduled outside of active hours

Have they put Aero Glass back in yet?

Otherwise it's just more junk with more tricks needed to stop the slurping.

That's never, ever happened on any of my machines. Suggest you go through your set up and ensure it's done correctly.

Having read several of the reviews and read what has been added with the latest version my only response is - so what? I have not seen anything there that I actually need or use.

Only updated to Creators last week, hope it is quite a while before this Fall one arrives...

When doing updates such as this now I use the upgrade assistant tool, at least with it you get an idea percentage wise, what is going on.


Newest computer took just under 2 hours whereas old desktop seven years old took 2 and a quarter hours.

No it won't if you have set your active hours properly. How do I know this? I have installed the update and I had to manually restart to finish it as Windows was waiting patiently for my explicit go ahead to restart.
