Fall Update has started to roll out.

Downloading it now.

Please don't screw up my PC MS?

Tried 3 times to update but each time it fails and then just rolls back to original install

Going to wait this time around for my PC to auto pick it up rather than force it on, with the reports yesterday the fall update gives a nice boost to Ryzen setups and the new GPU graph in task manager will be useful.

Updated my rig at home with it and 2 PC's at work without a hitch

Failed via Windows Update for me, but worked fine with the Upgrade Assistant. No issues, all running very nicely.

Did it on one of my tablets so far - succeeded first time via WU for me but it took around 6 hours or something to install :s and then I spent about 30-40 minutes working out some odd little glitches like my mouse pointer acted like enhanced pointer precision was on until I toggled various mouse settings on and off a few times and removed things like the new people entry on the system tray, etc. and basically reverting the odd things back to how I used to have it before the update.

Possibly some worthwhile enhancements under the hood I dunno but I didn't feel like I gained anything from doing the update.

just installed onto my surface pro 4.

Seems a bit snappier. Edge doesn't seem to crap its pants as much and outlook launches a lot quicker

Did mine yesterday via Windows Update, which took well over an hour. No problems on my rather old desktop, apart from a small issue with my monitor profile, which would change every time I went from windowed to full screen in Prepar3Dv4.1 [flight simulator] making everything very dark and oversaturated... Ticking 'Disable Fullscreen Optimizations' on the P3D exe seems to prevent it.

Other than that, all seems well.

There are problems with windowed Gsync with this update. Tyranny is locked to 24 FPS and the menus are incredibly slow. Also, if you are running a game in a borderless window and get near your max refresh rate there are lots of FPS drops and performance problems.

Finally, the game bar breaks Gsync in Snake Pass. Toggling the game bar or Alt tabbing seems to fix it.

Spent the morning unplugging stuff from my PC and found out it was my Elgato HD60 Pro capture card which was stopping the install

Simon Belmont · 19 Oct 2017 at 14:23

Updated and all went well.

I couldn't find a fall update but I downloaded the Autumn one. Seems better than 1703 so far. Less buggy.

"nods approvingly"

The Media Creation Tool is now pointing to the autumn update; I'll probably wait until I've got time to do a clean reinstallation (been bitten too many times with major in-place Windows upgrades).

Glanza · 19 Oct 2017 at 15:02

Got home from work and the PC has just installed it, took 20 min or so and now up and running again.

MarcLister · 19 Oct 2017 at 16:01

Firefox now won't load loads of sites. Comes up with a security error. Chrome is working perfectly fine. Was on 56.0 and have now updated to 56.0.1 and still not working. Can't be the Windows update as Chrome is working fine. :confused:

martin363 · 19 Oct 2017 at 16:27

Updated 5 PC's / Laptops, no issues and fairly quick

FredFlint · 19 Oct 2017 at 16:45

My AMD PC updated fine but my Intel is still waiting for the update. The blog says new PC's will get the update first.

redknight333 · 19 Oct 2017 at 17:08

All working fine just upgraded pc this afternoon using Upgrade Assistant, went through the upgrade pretty swiftly, no bugs as of yet.

Robzere31 · 19 Oct 2017 at 17:36

Installed on main machine & tablet, no problems at all.
TBH can't really see what the new update has done yet, but I'm sure there are load of background "improvements"

LoadsaMoney · 19 Oct 2017 at 17:43

I read somewhere, that via the Windows Update, it fails to install the first time, but then it installs fine, i can't verify, as on Win 7.
