Microsoft releases KB4284848 for Windows 10 version 1803
It took Microsoft a bit longer than expected but KB4284848, a new cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1803, has finally been released.
Microsoft released cumulative updates for previous versions of Windows last week but did not release an update for the April 2018 Update version.
It is usually the case that updates get released for all versions of Windows 10 and that is why it was strange that 1803 did not receive one when all other versions did.
KB4284848 for Windows 10 version 1803
KB4284848 is a cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1803, the April 2018 Update, that brings the build of the operating system to 17134.137.
The update is a non-security update that includes lots of fixes and improvements including some that fix long-standing issues with the update.
- Fixes streaming compatibility issues with "certain live TV streaming content providers".
- Addressed an issue where content created with Media Center would not play on Windows 10 version 1803.
- Addressed an issue that caused recent versions of Google Chrome to stop working on some devices.
- Fixed issues with the Remote Desktop client. Pop-up windows and drop-down menus did not appear and right-clicking would not work properly either when using remote applications.
- Fixed the cause of the error message "An invalid argument was supplied" when trying to access or run programs from shared folders using the SMBv1 protocol.
- Fixed a Task Scheduler issue that throws the error "ERROR_NO_SUCH_LOGON_SESSION/STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT".
- Fixed an issue with the HDR streaming calibration slider of the Video Settings that caused it to stop working.
- Fixed a SmartHeap issue with UCRT.
- Fixed performance regressions in App-V which slowed down certain actions in Windows 10.
- Fixed an Appmonitor issue that caused it to stop working at logoff.
- Addressed a port range issue when running client applications in container images.
- Fixed DNS server issue that caused it to stop working when using DNS Query Resolution Policies with a "Not Equal" (NE) condition.
- Fixed T1 and T2 custom value issues after configuring DHCP failover.
- Fixed the cause of connection failures when "a Remote Desktop connection doesn’t read the bypass list for a proxy that has multiple entries".
- Addressed a performance issue with Windows Mixed Reality for certain hybrid graphics adapter laptops.
Windows users and admins can install the update using Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Catalog. Note that Windows Update does not pick up the KB4284848 yet.
If you use the Microsoft Update Catalog to download the update you need to install the servicing stack update KB4338853 first. Microsoft rated the update critical.
What mental age of reader are you targeting with the first sentence? 10?
Why not write an article on how to *avoid* upgrading from W10 to W11. Analogous to those like me who avoided upgrading from 7 to 10 for as long as possible.
If your paymaster Microsoft permits it, of course.
5. Rufus
6. Ventoy
PS. I hate reading these “SEO optimized” articles.
I used Rufus to create an installer for a 6th gen intel i5 that had MBR. It upgraded using Setup. No issues except for Win 11 always prompting me to replace my local account. Still using Win 10 Pro on all my other PCs to avoid the bullying.
bit pointless to upgrade for the sake of upgrading as you never know when you’ll get locked out because ms might suddenly not provide updates to unsupported systems.
ps…. time travelling?

This happens when you schedule a post in WordPress and update it before setting the publication date.
Anyone willing to downgrade to this awful OS must like inflicting themselves with harm.
I have become convinced now that anybody who has no qualms with using Windows 11/10 must fit into one of the following brackets:
1) Too young to remember a time before W10 and W11 (doesn’t know better)
2) Wants to play the latest games on their PC above anything else (or deeply needs some software which already dropped W7 support)
3) Doesn’t know too much about how computers work, worried that they’d be absolutely lost and in trouble without the “”latest security””
4) Microsoft apologist that tries to justify that the latest “features” and “changes” are actually a good thing, that improve Windows
5) Uses their computer to do a bare minimum of like 3 different things, browse web, check emails, etc, so really doesn’t fuss
Obviously that doesn’t cover everyone, there’s also the category that:
6) Actually liked W7 more than 10, and held out as long as possible before switching, begrudgingly uses 10 now
Have I missed any group off this list?
You have missed in this group just about any professional user that uses business software like CAD programs or ERP Programs which are 99% of all professional users from this list.
Linux doesn’t help anyone who is not a linux kid and apple is just a fancy facebook machine.
Microsoft has removed KB5029351 update
only from windows update though
KB5029351 is still available from the ms update catalog site
1. This update is labaled as PREVIEW if it causes issues to unintelligent people, then they shouldn’t have allowed Preview updates ot install.
2. I have installed it in a 11 years old computer, and no problems at all.
3. Making a big drama over a bluescreen for an updated labeled as preview is ridiculous.
This is probably another BS internet drama where people ran programs and scripts that modified the registry until they broke Windows, just for removing stuff that they weren’t even using just for the sake of it.
Maybe people should stop playing geeks and actually either use Windows 10 or Windows 11, but don’t try to modify things just for the sake of it.
Sometimes removing or stopping things (like defender is a perfect example) only need intelligence, not scripts or 3rd party programs that might mess with windows.
Windows 11 was a pointless release, it was just created because some of the Windows team wanted to boost sales with some sort of new and improved Windows 10. Instead, Microsoft cannot support one version well let alone two.
Windows 11 is the worst ugly shame by Microsoft ever. They should release with every new W11 version a complete free version of Starallback inside just to make this sh** OS functionally again.
motherboard maker MSI has recently released a statement regarding the “unsupported processor” blue screen error for their boards using Intel 600/700 series chipsets & to avoid the KB5029351 Win11 update:

While there may be changes or updates to the Windows 10 Store for Business and Education in the future, it is premature to conclude that it will be discontinued based solely on rumors.
My advice, I left win 15 years ago. Now I’m a happy linux user (linuxmint) but there is Centos, Fedora, Ubuntu depending on your needs.
motherboard maker MSI has recently released new BIOS/firmware updates for their Intel 600 & 700 series motherboards to fix the “UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR” problem (Sept. 6):

I try to disable the Diagnostics Tracking Service (Connected Devices Platform User Services) but it wont let me disable it, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Tank you for your help
