I'm now on LTSC so no more updates for me.

@Bouton Aide If it's ok to ask how much did it cost you and how do you get it as I'm thinking of doing the same.

Business license. There wasn’t a cost involved as it was through a business.

Ah thanks. No go for me luckily I'm on Pro so blocked feature updates using group policy hopefully keep me on 1909 till I decide to do a clean install.

Seriously... What is this crap? Windows Update automatic driver updates are disabled and still, it's updating my Intel NIC. I've lost count the amount of times I've removed them because of them installing newer versions.

Microsoft knows best. Haven't you worked that out yet!?

Notice the little weather app on the taskbar bar is clearer, this weeks update foo bared my USB devices such as StreamDeck and Denon PMA-50 for sound, neither work, they were fine last night prior to the patch. FFS. Going to do a clean reinstall, but still, Windows is a pain in the ****.

I've had a similar issue with my Modi 2 Uber. Have to unplug/plug to get it recognised every other day.

Ugh, why does Windows 10 periodically present a screen at bootup asking me to continue setting up my PC? It's been setup for years! I needed to quickly access my PC for a document earlier and it got stuck on "just a moment" for 10 minutes.

Standard every time a feature update installs - as essentially its the same as installing Windows from scratch

I've had that before after a new version number, but I don't think I've had any large update recently. According to my update history an update hasn't been installed since last Weds. Oh well, Windows.

KB5004237 is out today, bringing 21H1 to build version 19043.1110.

@dante6491 I'm glad it worked for you, I tried unplugging but no joy.

Managed to roll-back and all is well again. Paused updates for now and hopefully in a few weeks time, this glitch will be ironed out.

And a bunch more security issues which shouldn't have been there in the first place including HiveNightmare...

And people insist people should be updating to 10 over 7 for security reasons :|

I'm not sure I agree, as I feel that Windows 10 stemmed from Windows 7 - so perhaps the security issue exists in Windows 7 also?

Some former employees have also accused Mr Gates of having a hot temper, with the catchphrase "that's the stupidest {expletive] idea I've ever heard".

I can well believe it if it was anything to do with Windows 10 development :s

Not sure what's going on, but just started Windows 10 after an update and it started doing a NTFS BSOD and constantly tried to repair

Anyone having issues with the snap feature? Normally if I snap two windows (normally two browser windows), if I resize one window, the other will also resize with the remaining space available. Now I can snap them side by side but if I resize a window, it only seems to resize that window and isn't actually snapped together.

Everything is turned on in settings.

I dont agreed with him. Windows 10 was build on top of Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and NT 4.0 codebase. Look at PrintNightmare security issue affected all Windows version since print spooler was first introduced in NT 3.1. Vice Society ransomware is out in the wild exploited PrintNightware security hole, Windows 7 is a security risk.

No it nothing to do with Windows 10 development.

Bill Gate catchphrase was probably from 1975, 1980s or very early 1990s when he was CEO at the time.

I googled found the earliest mentioned of Bill Gate catchphrase was The New Yorker article about email from Bill Gate dated 26 December 1993

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1994/01/10/e-mail-from-bill

I dont know what Bill Gates was swear about at the time. Could be about MS-DOS, Windows 1, Windows 2, Windows 3, Windows NT or maybe cancelled project Cairo development?
