I had all sorts of problems upgrading from 1511 to the AU, at least 3 times and something was always wrong. Out of desperation I did a clean install and finally everything was perfect (but it took me a couple of days to reinstall all my programs and configure Windows). I think if Windows upgrades work, fine otherwise try a clean install. To effectively delete stubborn files and folders in Windows, booting with a Linux live CD is fairly fast and very effective.
hi , several program don't work wuth the anniversary update , for example adobe will release several updates for photoshop , bridge ,audition and so on , i pay for them there are some antivirus that don't work correctly hi do you mean windows.old folder ? thanks
Brian , the first time i updated via internal update without issues but do you suggest to download the iso and create a boot usb and update in this way? by the way , w10 Au is buggy let's say there are a lot of buggies or they changed several code and the software houese do need time to update their produtucts
mantra, When Win10 was released last year I could make the upgrade succeed or fail. Every time. These methods failed consistently The Windows Update method Media Creation Toolkit Win10 ISO on the HD Changing the Region and Language to US This worked every time. Create a bootable UFD from the Windows ISO. Run setup.exe (on the UFD) in Windows. This is the only method I use now and still, it never fails. I haven't seen this but then again I don't try to "improve" Win10 by disabling services.
I have Photoshop CS6 Extended and it works perfectly with Win 10 AU, Bridge as well. With a Linux live CD (I use Puppy Linux) once you boot into Linux you can 'see' all Windows folders and from the Linux interface delete any of them without any problem, even the remnants of Windows.old folder. I think if you had problems upgrading within Windows you ought to try a clean install, it worked for me and for some members here at Wilders...
Brian, I have tried many times through Windows updates, and I had always problems with my display brightness it was always set to its minimum value without any possibility to change it. It is a long story which has probably more to do with Samsung and MS than the AU. Nevertheless with a clean install the brightness problem (a very important one) stopped happening and everything else was just fine. My computer now with the Win 10 AU responds exactly like when I first bought it with Windows 8, there is an improvement in speed as well...
Brian, would you be willing to post (or PM me) a step by step process for doing the AU upgrade/update as you described? For example, how big of an UFD do you need? Did you use Rufus to create the bootable UFD? Lastly, how is this different than using the media creation toolkit? Thanks.
hi i would like to add a link about adobe forum , but i don't if i can do it , i mean forum rules thanks
Alex, I use this ISO... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO/ The ISO created by the Media Creation Tool is different. Its major file is install.esd rather than install.wim. Don't ask me why but the two ISO can behave differently. In July 2015 I couldn't get the MCT ISO to do a successful upgrade on any of my computers. I use Rufus to create the UFD. 32-bit Win10 will fit on a 4 GB UFD. 64-bit Win10 needs an 8 GB UFD. In Windows double click setup.exe on the UFD and don't select "Download updates" when it is offered.
Mantra, you don't have to prove that your problems with Photoshop and Bridge are real, I believe you. However after a clean install using the MS media creation tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, I had to reinstall all my programs including Photoshop CS6 Extended and Bridge without any problems. As a matter of fact all programs work as they should.
This is more of curiosity than of any importance. I have a laptop with W10 that I use occasionally and still has the original W10 that I downloaded and installed. It has never received any update and was wondering what the procedure was with it. I left it on all yesterday and nothing happened. I assume that when it goes to sleep then it is not available to be updated, so in that case it was only on for something around an hour. I know I can d/l the update but so long as it works, there is no urgency
After the update, does anyone have a problem with computer going to sleep/standby quite often after a minute inspite of standby settings for, say, 20 minutes? I do on my laptop.

Hi act8192. Your laptop Power Management software might be switching plans based on plugged in, or running on battery and if it's getting low. Visit Power Options, specify desired sleep/standby value, for each plan. If not specified, specify one. If desired value already exists, make the alteration to something other-than currently specified value and re-boot the PC. Also take a look at http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/246364-power-options-add-system-unattended-sleep-timeout.html
Thank you Phant0m. The best part was changing current values back and forth. Few restarts and the silly frequent naps are now history. That link on seven forums was interesting. All it does is provide you with an extra, 3rd, setting in the advanced group. I left the value at 2 minutes and it seemed not to be used once my settings took. So today I changed it higher.
Have received another cumulative update KB3194496, installed without a hitch. No issues noticed (yet).
Lucky you. For me it keeps trying to apply itself on every reboot, fails, and then reverts the changes. From what I have seen on other sites, this issue affected Insiders when it was released to them and then they released it to the public without resolving the issue. I wish there was a legitimate alternative to Windows. Things keep getting worse with these updates. I think they let some of the wrong people go in the massive layoffs they have been doing.
How do you know it is 750 MB? I haven´t seen this info in the WU interface. And, as I have understood it, the size depends on the updates already installed in the computer.
It about 1GB every 2 weeks, nothing surprising about it. Those updates are basically upgrades, so you can update an original release with those. Not really, since 10 MS does not patch anymore, it releases the whole thing every time, so you just install 1 or 2 of those huge updates instead of 50. Indeed, the restart was painless, 5 minutes and it was done, but the download takes ages every single time, like I have got dialup again.
