Windows 10 Announced - Released 29-Jul-2015

Did you expand the "Other Updates" category under history and check there?

 

I did, but it finally showed up there it just took awhile.

 

How do we call that mess that Microsoft has created, arrogance?

 

What's wrong with #3? And there's plenty still using XP, so #1 won't be a big deal for many.

 

I really can't share the doomsday scenario depicted by the article, furthermore I would describe it as a clickbait title, but then again to each his own...

 

Yes, arrogance that comes from the fact that they are monopolist and they can do whatever they want.

 

Windows 10 insider Build 19044.1381 / 19043.1381 out, small update with big fix

Releasing Windows 10 Build 19044.1381 / 19043.1381 to Release Preview Channel

 

I have two machines with 10 installed, a desktop and a notebook: same configuration, same third part softwares, same enables services.... all identical. I'm not able to update 10 in the desktop. I tried all the ways - the list is too big to write - I spent hours in the Web and in this Forum searching any solutions, anyone works.

 

- Windows 10 Pro - 1709 version 16299.1127. I bought the pc configured for 10 by a technical vendor, so the hardware is right.

- 3rd party: Cis Defense+ ( Paranoid Mode ) and AppGuard Blu Ridge - Windows Defender disabled; and some minor software as 7Zip and Sumatra PDF, and Libre Office. No other software because I don't use often this pc for his update issue.

- It's not a problem of disabled services because I have the same services configuration in the notebook where 10 updates.

 

How to download a Windows 10 21H2 ISO from Microsoft

I updated from 21H1 to 21H2 via "Update and Security" in the Settings app: 5 MB download, 1 min. reboot. By far the smallest and fastest Windows feature update I've experienced.

 

Do Windows 11 capable machines not get Windows 10 21H2?

I helped a family member who has a modern PC and an old laptop. They were both at the same Windows version/build and had the same updates installed, but only the old laptop got the 21H2 update (the modern PC got offered Windows 11, which I did not install - yet?)

 

They seem to be the last to get it. They're probably hoping you'll go 11. Not a huge deal in most cases as you likely won't notice the difference between 21H1 and 21H2. It will come eventually.

Just received an optional Cumulative Update Preview for Win10 version 21H2 (KB007253), no issues.

 

Got it offered here too, as well as .Net framework Preview.

For anyone running 21h2, when executing sfc /verifyonly is your scan showing that your system is clean?

Code:

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

My test system is showing

Code:

c:\>ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1387]
c:\>sfc /verifyonly
Windows Resource Protection found integrity violations.

 

I got similar result on my system on version 10.0.19044.1348. Since I don't encounter any problems I will just leave it.

EDIT: after checking cbs.log it seems that there are some problems with ownership or security overlap on some directories.

 

No integrity violations here on build 19044.1387. i run a scan twice a year and sometimes it found issues which were subsequently corrected, although like Minimalist there were never problems related to integrity violations.

 

Thanks to those who replied. Strangely enough, the integrity violation disappeared after using the test system a few times. BTW, when the system was flagged with an integrity problem using SFC /VERIFYONLY, the CBS.log did not show any errors.

Code:

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

I'll chalk it up to the mysteries of Windows.

 

Can't believe this thread is close to being necro'd. OK.

Got KB5008212 cumulative update for Windows 10 plus a Malicious Software Removal Tool. Went thru like buttah. New winver 19044.1415. A bit to clean up this time.

 

Updated as well with no issues (Win 10).
