Other updates for Insiders
Introducing Your Phone Apps – access your Android phone’s apps directly from your PC
UPDATE: The apps experience in Your Phone is gradually rolling out only to Windows Insiders on a PC that is configured to be in the Dev, Beta, or Release Preview Channels and is a server-side change that takes time propagate out. Please see the feature requirements below including list of supported phones and well as this FAQ here on Microsoft Answers.

The Your Phone app continues to evolve. We are happy to announce another exciting feature, a seamless continuation of our vision and promise to help you be more productive and keep you in your flow. Tap into the power of Your Phone app with Link to Windows integration on select Samsung devices to instantly access your phone’s mobile apps directly from your Windows 10 PC. There’s no need to install, sign-in or set up your apps on your PC, saving you time and hassle. You can conveniently pin your favorite mobile apps to your Taskbar or Start menu on your PC for quick and easy access. When you launch an app, it opens in a separate window outside of the Your Phone app enabling you to multitask. So, whether you need to quickly reply to a conversation, respond to your social posts, or order food, you can do it fast using your PC’s large screen, keyboard, mouse, pen and touch screen alongside your other PC apps!

I've had a play and for the most part it works well, but there's some screen corruption for me. I don't have a flagship phone however, so I'm assuming it's just an optimisation thing. Pretty promising though :)

So, 2004 arrived last night, just before bed. Let it do its thing. Got up this morning, PC boots as expected, but no mouse or keyboard!! I have spare wired KB and mouse, but nothing. Its like all the USB ports are dead.
KB and mouse work fine in Bios, so after much faffing, I managed to uninstall the update, and everything is now back to normal.
Anyone come across this before? Any prep work I can do before trying the update again?
I have nothing special on the system.

Has anybody with ESET and Windows 10 1909 had an alert from ESET yet, saying that KB4023057 isn't installed but available on Windows Update? When I check WU, I don't see it being offered to me. :confused:

A 2 year old security flaw, finally got fixed

Took em 9 months to fix a quite serious security issue in the language toolbar... makes me chuckle when people berate people still on Windows 7 [fair enough] for the security aspect while extolling 10 on the other hand.

As I've said before I find it strange Intel gets so much stick for it but what is going on with 10 is just as bad maybe worse but is hardly remarked on.
