Windows 10 Announced - Released 29-Jul-2015

I have noticed "Are you looking for information about the latest updates?" in the Windows Update settings after today's cumulative update on my Win 10 machine. Funny thing is that it opens Bing search with the search query "check for updates in windows 10". It is pretty hilarious. I would expect it will take you to MS support page or so but definitely not to Bing search. It smacks of amateurism.

Yeah, probably Microsoft's new approach how to provide support - If you need support, don't expect it from us (Microsoft), we're so kind to offer you Bing search instead. :-D

Windows 10 November Update: features, fixes, and enterprise readiness

Microsoft's Tech Bench has build 10586 (1511) ISO's for Home and Professional versions:

Others are available through MSDN already as well.

 

Installing build 10586 through Windows update on a work machine right now for testing. I hope these antivirus vendors are prepared. In my testing with the advanced insider copy (same build) most of them are broken somehow.

 

I'd be interested to know how long the update takes on your system. I have it in process on my laptop now and it's been running for over an hour. It seems to be progressing normally, but people shouldn't expect it to be quick.

 

My updates are set to Automatic, my computer is on for a while now. Does the major WIN10 update start on it's own?

 

No update here yet...

 

Refreshed isos with 1511 update aka Win10 TH2:

I've had it take an hour to 2, depending on the machine. And a VM that ran longer, but I had to leave it overnight so I don't know how long. Probably at least 3 hours.

Also, a machine I just had it downloading on stopped and now it says no updates available. I hope there aren't any issues with it.

 

Only one of my machines is updating. The other says it is up to date. I thought it may be phased released to some machines first, others later. We will see.

 

I have checked about four times and the update isn't offered yet on one machine. The other is almost finished.

 

On the updated machine I checked for updates and downloaded a security patch for IE11.

 

Speccy was uninstalled for some reason. Windows said it wasn't compatible but I've just reinstalled it. Had the same issue when I first upgraded from Windows 7.

 

I suggest that anyone who has updated to go through their settings as I found my privacy settings changed. Also, IE 11 Privacy settings.

 

Is there a way to force this update? I don't see/get it either (at this point in time)

 

A lot of things get changed back to defaults. Fast startup gets turned back on. File types that have been changed to open with different programs (images, PDFs, etc.) get changed back.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I had to make Firefox the default again. I hope they will preserve default settings going forward. It's just another problem for folks who don't know how to make these changes.
