Hey, everyone! It’s pre-update-system-drive-cloning-and-imaging Tuesday!
Full Disclosure: My Windows 10 system hasn’t gotten borked by an update yet, and the built-in rollback feature on my dad’s Windows 10 computer worked flawlessly when a version upgrade borked *his* Windows 10 system, but I’ve seen enough irrecoverable borkings in Windows 7 and read about enough of them in Windows 8/8.1 and 10 to stay on my guard. I used to clone before applying Patch Tuesday updates, on old laptops where swapping out drives took only around five minutes. Now I image.
I use a local account rather than a “Microsoft account” because of privacy concerns, but I have a question for Microsoft-account users who back up their settings online and who’ve had to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch: How completely were your pre-borkage system and app settings restored after the reinstall? How many hours or days did you have to put in to return your system to more or less the same state it was in before it got borked?
Thanks Martin, for guiding me thru this mounts update.
I updated main system to Windows 10 version 20H2 build 19042.685.
Any new unwanted or trickery features enabled?
that’s entirely dependant on what OS you are using
8.1 is fine, as is 7 with ESU, however, can’t speak for 10
interestingly… the windows experience thing popped up upon restarting to finish the update.. 2 options… continue.. or remind me in 3 days.
I see they’ve taken to reinstalling Edge (Chromium) for those of us who’ve uninstalled it, with the “DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium” registry setting no longer working does anyone know of how to block it from installing now?
Something in the administrative templates for Edge maybe?
> My Windows 10 system hasn’t gotten borked by an update yet
What a strange thing to be concerned about with something as important as an OS
> Any new unwanted or trickery features enabled?
Would you audit it for us? Oh, wait, we can’t. We don’t have access to the source code, nor can we make reproducible builds! HA, HA!
Thanks Martin for the useful info.
For some reason, my desktop was forced to install 2004 whereas, my laptop continued with installing security updates for 1909.
Is there a way to revert back to 1909? Or is 2004 usable at the current state?
Updated LTSC 1809 on two machines. One weird new behaviour I have noticed since last moth, and this month is no differemt, is that now I always get one (1) notification about my Windows Firewall being disabled after a reboot. This used to not be the case, as the “Windows Security notification” application is not running in background. Turning off the Windows Defender Firewall service “mpssvc” also did not fix this issue – unless Microsoft considers this to be the indended behaviour.
Notifications are disabled alltogether on my machine, so this bypasses (almost) anything user-facing. I did not dig deep wnough into Group Policy, yet.
1 weird thing i noticed. not sure if it’s an update to the calendar app or if it’s the monthly update… but all the events have disappeared from calendar (i use local account only)… but they do (or at least 1 did.. i don’t have many events) pop up on the notification area.
don’t remember seeing this before..
Again a security update causes problems. Most of my url’s don’t work now. None work from my gmail account and many from my Chrome Browser Bookmarks. I’ve tried to find work arounds to no avail. This is one of the few links that works.
