If you mean 'Version' it says 1709. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you are asking.

That means it hasn't actually done the update, for whatever reason.
You may well have to try to reset Windows Update if subsequent attempts fail as well.

It's added a new drive 449MB in size, don't know what it's for

It'll probably be a system reserved partition.
You probably only had one of 100 or 200MB previously, and Windows 10 likes one of 500MB.

Though why it's made it on this update is anyone's guess?

This updates comes with more garbage that I will only get rid of.

Funny how Windows 10 is meant to be better and faster than Windows 7. Yet it is far more bloated and it takes more work to both remove the bloat and reduce the footprint.

Seems a problem of your own making there.....;)

I lose count. Is this "last version of Windows" now on SP3 or SP4?

There are no "Service Packs" for Windows 10

By removing the apps, I suppose I am making work for myself. But I don't want apps and other things, so I choose to remove them manually.

But the point is, I didn't have to remove anything from Windows 7 or Windows XP ISO images. But the apps that come pre-installed with Windows 10 by default without doubt bogs down the systems resources.

Just done 6 !
For some reason the update has decided on English (United States) for the Windows display language and put the ENG caption in the task bar notification area on 4 of them.

1703 and here to stay.

I did the update last year in my tablet and it now decides it doesnt like my old software. It does not recognise my software and the box just had a cancel button.

Its becoming more locked down, wont be long before you can only install the apps from the MS store.
