Windows 10 1903 Affected by New Setup Bug, Workaround Ready
November 1, 2019
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...3-affected-by-new-setup-bug-workaround-ready/

Microsoft says that Windows 10, version 1903 is affected by a new bug triggering an error asking users to "Try again" after completing the Windows installation process or after resetting a device.

"After successfully completing the Out-of-box Experience (OOBE) to setup a new Windows device or after resetting a device, once you reach the Desktop you might see a screen with black bars at the top and bottom with blue in the middle and receive the error, 'Something went wrong but you can try again. MSA' with a Try again button," says Microsoft in a newly published support document.
Fix arriving in an upcoming release
The issue affects devices that connect to the Internet for the first time or the ones on which new Windows installs haven't previously connected during OOBE.

"During OOBE, you have the option to connect to the internet but are not required to do so," adds Microsoft.
The company is working on a resolution for this new issue and it plans to provide an update in a future Windows 10, version 1903 release.
Workaround available
Microsoft provides detailed procedures that can be followed to prevent the "Something went wrong but you can try again. MSA" error from appearing during the Windows installation, [...]

Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19018
November 5, 2019
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsex...ncing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-19018/

Hello Windows Insiders, today we’re releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19018 (20H1) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring.

Starting today, Windows Insiders who have opted into Skip Ahead are being migrated back into the Fast ring. This means that Skip Ahead will no longer be reflected under Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program. Going forward, we will not be offering Skip Ahead as an option for Insiders to sign-up for. Our goal is to provide everyone in the Fast ring the freshest builds at the same time.

Microsoft kills off the Skip Ahead ring for Windows Insiders -- what does this mean for you?
November 6, 2019
https://betanews.com/2019/11/06/microsoft-discontinues-skip-ahead-ring/

Microsoft introduced various "rings" that allowed users to jump on pre-release builds of varying quality and at different stages of development -- Slow, Fast, Release Preview and Skip Ahead. Now the company has decided to simplify things by killing off the Skip Ahead ring. Here's what this means for Insiders.

Until now, the Skip Ahead ring gave people the chance to check out the next major release of Windows 10, but this often meant dealing with unstable code. This, coupled with Microsoft's recent run of problematic updates for Windows 10, is likely to have been factored into the company's decision to discontinue the Skip Ahead ring, and focus on the remainder. This means that anyone who had signed up for the Skip Ahead ring will be dropped back to the Fast ring.
So now there are only three Insider rings to choose from: Slow, Fast and Release Preview.

Windows 10 version 1809: pay attention to Disk Cleanup settings

Microsoft to Remove Downloads Folder from Disk Cleanup
November 7, 2019
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...to-remove-downloads-folder-from-disk-cleanup/

Microsoft has decided to roll back its decision to add the Downloads folder to the Windows 10 Disk Cleanup program after receiving negative feedback from users.

With the release of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, Microsoft quietly added the Downloads folder as an additional option to the Disk Cleanup program, which when selected would cause the files in that folder to be deleted as well.
When this feature went live, we reported that this was potentially dangerous as users commonly start Disk Cleanup, check all the options, and run the cleanup routine. By adding the Downloads folder, users may accidentally check that option as well and remove files that they need.

It is not known if Microsoft plans on waiting until Windows 10 20H1 is released to make this change or if they will add it to Windows 10 1903 in the next cumulative update or in Windows 10 1909.

Introducing Unified Update Platform (UUP) November 3, 2016 10:02 am
Click to expand...

Microsoft rolls out Unified Update Platform preview update KB4529943
November 8, 2019
https://www.ghacks.net/2019/11/08/m...ied-update-platform-preview-update-kb4529943/

Microsoft released KB4529943 yesterday to devices that participate in the Unified Update Platform preview. The update will be released later to devices that run Windows 10 and don't participate in the UUP preview program.

The company revealed in November 2016 that it had plans to switch the update delivery system of the Windows 10 operating system to the Unified Update Platform in order to reduce the size of average updates and improve the delivery and deployment time of updates that it releases for Windows 10.
The new method could reduce the size of updates by up to 35% according to Microsoft. The new platform uses differential packages to send only the bits that have changed to customer devices and not everything.

A differential download package contains only the changes that have been made since the last time you updated your device, rather than a full build. As we rollout UUP, this will eventually be impactful for PCs where users can expect their download size to decrease by approximately 35% when going from one major update of Windows to another.
Click to expand...

KB4529943 -- update for Unified Update Platform for Windows 10, version 1903: November 7, 2019 -- is now made available to customers participating in the UUP test. Microsoft notes that the update should only be installed on devices that participate in the test and not on devices that don't.

Windows 10 Insider Program: What You Need to Get Started
November 10, 2019
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...insider-program-what-you-need-to-get-started/

The Microsoft Windows Insider Program allows interested Windows fans, enthusiasts, professionals, developers and even Enterprise users to test the upcoming features and updates of Windows 10 before they are released.
The Windows Insider Program is optional, but any user with an existing licensed Windows 10 PC can join and start testing out the latest features being developed by Microsoft.
Who should join the program
If you want to get access to the upcoming Windows 10 cumulative updates and improvements before the rest of consumers, want to test new features that could be removed before the public release, are ok with installing new Windows 10 versions fairly often, and can deal with bugs, then the Insider Program is for you.

The good news is that if you join the Windows 10 Insider Program and then decide you no longer want to be part of it, you can leave the program and reinstall Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool.

Windows 10 version 1803 will no longer be supported for consumers after today
November 12, 2019
https://www.neowin.net/news/windows...longer-be-supported-for-consumers-after-today

Today is Patch Tuesday, and that means Microsoft is going to be releasing a flurry of security updates for every supported version of Windows. Along with those, Windows 10 version 1909, or the November 2019 Update, is also likely to be available today.

However, if you're running the Home, Pro, and Pro for Workstations editions of Windows 10 version 1803 - also known as the April 2018 Update - this will be the last time you get a security update, provided you don't update to a newer Windows 10 release.
Microsoft has already been updating users on version 1803 to version 1903, but according to AdDuplex, 13.6% of devices were still running the older version in October. If you haven't yet, now might be a good time to update, and you might want to install version 1909 so you get 30 months of support.

Windows 10 will soon stop support WEP WIFI encryption
November 13, 2019
https://mspoweruser.com/windows-10-wep-wifi-encryption/

Of the number of technologies Microsoft will start deprecating in Windows 10, one familiar name is WEP WIFI encryption.

Since the May 2019 Update, Windows 10 has been showing a warning when users connect to WIFI networks secured via WEP or TKIP warning users that these protocols are now easily hacked.
Microsoft warns that in future releases Windows 10 will simply refuse to connect to such networks.
Microsoft recommends users switch their legacy routers to those which support AES ciphers, available with WPA2 or WPA3.

WEP dates all the way back to 1997 and was the only encryption protocol available to 802.11a and 802.11b devices. It was fully cracked in 2001, with only 1 minute of packet collection needed to expose the encryption key.

Microsoft updates list of deprecated Windows 10 features : goodbye My People (November 2019)
November 14, 2019
https://www.ghacks.net/2019/11/14/m...-10-features-goodbye-my-people-november-2019/

Microsoft has updated the list of features and technologies that it is no longer developing after the release of Windows 10 version 1909 in November 2019.
The list of features that Microsoft is no longer developing was updated on November 12, 2019. The list contains five new items and the most prominent one from a user perspective is probably the deprecation of My People.

My People was introduced in Insider Builds in late 2017. Microsoft placed a new icon in the taskbar on Windows 10 devices that allowed users to pin up to three contacts to the taskbar for quick access. In late 2018, we asked whether Microsoft was about to remove My People from Windows 10 again and it appears that the rumors were true in that regard as My People has been put on the deprecation list.
It lists the following features as deprecated: [...]

Microsoft: don't remove the Microsoft Store app
November 15, 2019
https://www.ghacks.net/2019/11/15/microsoft-dont-remove-the-microsoft-store-app/

Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system comes with the Microsoft Store application by default (formerly known as Windows Store) that is accessible via the operating system's Taskbar and Start Menu.

The company published a new support article -- Removing, uninstalling, or reinstalling Microsoft Store app is not supported -- recently in which it recommends that the Microsoft Store application is not removed or uninstalled.

In Windows 10, we do not recommend removing or uninstalling the Microsoft Store app.
The reason that Microsoft gives reminds customers that Windows 10 offers no way of reinstalling the Microsoft Store when it is removed from devices running Windows 10.

If you uninstalled Microsoft Store by any means and want to reinstall it, the only Microsoft-supported method is to reset or reinstall the operating system, which will reinstall Microsoft Store.

Microsoft Removes Windows 10 1909 Realtek Driver Update Block
November 16, 2019
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...-windows-10-1909-realtek-driver-update-block/

Microsoft removed a compatibility hold caused by outdated Realtek Bluetooth drivers and published a support document describing a workaround designed to help Windows 10 users still affected by the safeguard hold.

The safeguard hold was added by Microsoft in May 2019 after acknowledging an issue where computers with Realtek Bluetooth radios experienced problems when discovering and connecting to Bluetooth devices after installing or updating to Windows 10, version 1903 due to outdated drivers.
Update block removed, workaround available
Microsoft says that the known issue was resolved with an updated driver for the affected Realtek Bluetooth radio and the compatibility hold was removed on November 15.

However, "it can take up to 48 hours before you can update to offered Windows 10, version 1909 or Windows 10, version 1903" according to Redmond.
One safeguard hold still on for Windows 10 1909
Windows 10 devices are still blocked from installing the Windows 10, version 1909 update by a safeguard hold put in place by Microsoft to prevent intermittent loss of Wi-Fi connectivity on some older systems with outdated Qualcomm drivers.

Microsoft has now updated its support article (via Windows Latest) confirm the availability of November 2019 Update via Media Creation Tool. In case you didn’t know, Media Creation Tool allows customers to create a Windows 10 ISO which can be used to upgrade any Windows 10 PC.

However, you should be careful if using the Media Creation Tool to install the update on another PC. Since the tool can’t run a prerequisite check, it won’t be able to determine if the update is compatible with the third-party software.
