Now THAT'S an Update!

10 years ago

I just ran or installed (or whatever) the latest mid-month update for Win10. I gather that it must be huge. I think it took longer than my initial win10 install from win8.1. I suppose almost no one will have the opportunity to see this message before they install the update, but if you do and have an immediate task to perform, I would suggest that you delay the update until you have a couple free hours.

I wanted to quickly look at some data at the office, turned on the computer, it automatically started the update, and I waited 1 1/2 hrs to see my spreadsheet.

What's the Update Number? I've received 2 Updates on 9-1-16 and then had 9 Updates on 9-15-15. IMO none of them took that long Download or Install. Nothing like the Download of Windows 10 or even Build 1607 - Windows 10 Anniversary Edition.

I have enough Red Spider Lilies I can send Mark some extra spiderlilies for being such a wonderful host. :) I also have the offers set aside for greenthumb, rosepedal and cottageflowers. I have unlimited 'common privet' cuttings to offer. Smells wonderful, makes a good hedge, tho I keep the ones here cut to look like a small tree. Dirtdiggin ~ I would love some blackberry cuttings! Either type, both! lol, I'm not picky, kids just love the berries! :) And I have a perfect spot for them that if they get wild it'll be fine w/ me! :) Greenthumb ~ would love an African Violet cutting if there's one left? Kamil ~ would love 1 or 2 bulbs of Star of Bethlehem.. I've heard these lil guys are crazy invasive.. but I'm willing to try some in a pot! :) Mark I'm fine w/ whatEVER the postage is! lol I have a paypal acct too so if that works I'm game as well. I'm pretty sure the rhubarb and asparagus plants are all gone, but I am hoping someone can answer questions re: these for me. I actually have seeds for both.. but from what I understand it takes 2-3 yrs before you actually get food from the plants.. is that right? I am looking over the property tomorrow.. I'm sure my mom had an oak leaf hydrangea.. just can't seem to remember where it was! Thanks everyone for the get well wishes.. I'm working on it. ~Wendy

Morning all! Fran, I put in a bit more postage than what it was for me to mail my package to you. I don't think that I'll get back what I sent because we have a lot of veggie growers here, BUT if by chanace you dont have enough postage I'd be happy to send more if you need it to get my package back to me. I'm so glad that I bought the veggie seeds, I could almost hear how excited people were when I offered them up for grabs! Thank you to anyone who sent flowers in for me, I assure you that every single seed will find a good home. Lisa

Advice for modernizing an updated kitchen that's not my style?
Q
Comments (13)
Leave the cabs - paint will just make them look cheap, not more modern. New backsplash. New hardware. New pendants. I wouldn't even replace the ovens. Honestly, white appliances are a fairly new modern trend, while stainless is what you find in every traditional kitchen. If you can swing it, i'd replace the countertops. But only if the cabs are in excellent condition and you'll leave them for 20 years. I might look for a backsplash with a little color -- maybe a blue or green - that distracts from the all beige-white look of your kitchen. But very simple backsplash so as to not compete with the countertops (assuming you don't replace them). Hardware -- maybe lewis dolin bar in matte black? https://www.lewisdolin.com/bar-series?lightbox=dataItem-ja2yeozt Or check out the wonderful selection of cabinet hardware at anthropologie.com, where they have really cool stuff that could add the punch of modernized interest you need in this beige kitchen.

Me either. Mine went in quickly. I do not allow updates to automatically install. I tell it to install when I'm finished using the computer.

Seems like the W10 "Anniversary" update happens at different times for different people. Mine occurred a month or so ago and indeed took a long time -- almost as long as the original installation (upgrade from W7). The couple of updates just a few days ago were quick -- only a couple minutes to install.

Ah, yes I see; I guess newer machines (and mine isn't that old) got the 'Anniversary Update' sooner than others, and that is what I got yesterday; it was the 1607.

Okay, makes sense! I have the Update on all 4 of my Windows 10 machines. None of these are what I would call New. I found a link for the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition Download and then Download it on them, didn't want to wait! I still have my wife's Laptop to install the Anniversary Edition onto. Not sure how she will feel about me messing with her computer after I have it all set the way she want's it?

Just had mine today. Mentioned significant updates to Windows Defender. Is it worth using now?

I assume you are just now updating to 1511? I have the original 1024 installation DVD so I always have to run this stupid update after install. Windows Defender is still terrible, just a waste of precious system resources. I like avast free antivirus, although I use their free business program.

Well, I spoke too fast. Last night when I tried to turn my computer off it said it was updating, not to shut off. So I went to bed.

This afternoon it was turned off (I thought) I turned it on and it said it was at 49% don't shut off. So I left it alone for hours.

I do not know my way around Win 10 at all. The circle kept spinning for hours and I figured it was just looping and not completing. So I did a hard shut down.

Long and short, I turned it back up and it said it was updated. I tried to find what the update was and couldn't find where it was. I do not like going blind with this computer.

When it said it was updated and for more information on the update, I clicked it and it brought me to a page selling products, like Surface, etc. I tried going to downloads (top of that page), it brought up pages of Win 7 updates. Couldn't find Win 10.

Any suggestion where I can find what just downloaded?

Thanks,

Jane

Thank you.

I found it was all updates to MS Office. I am using Office 2007 and I'm glad they are still supporting it.

It was worth the hassle.

This is one reason that instead of moving to windows 10, I used certain linux distros on my PCs with 1GB of RAM or less. Just got an error with update (think it was update 1067). off to fix it now!

Now THAT'S an Update!
