Nah, I'll bet that guy actually wanted redundancy, but management wouldn't hear it because of costs.

They would have found the problem sooner if someone had tried the Traditional Fix of turning it off and back on again.
Assuming they noticed the actual state, and didn't wind up turning it on and then off again.

Ubuntu was up and running in about 20 minutes, including finding out how to set up my internet connection and some other settings. It's only temporary for now, since my harddisk is still failing, but now I can try some things out.
Best thing up to now: No company that wants to marry me, my registration, a blood sample and a license agreement signed with the same blood. So that's what it feels like to walk out of Egypt.

Hope dies last, huh? When I look around, I see more than 20 computers and only three of them ever were meant to be contaminated with Mickeysoft. The sort of Muggle you hope that I am already ditched Mickeysoft years ago and runs around with a telephone in the face. When the Muggles are already running away, how do you think they can persuade someone who knows what he's doing?

Don't go thinking Ubuntu is so pure. Remember that they were forced a few years ago to backtrack on their plans to send all your search results to Amazon.

Sure, but they will not come and secretly install that stuff as an 'important update', wether I agree or not. Or will they secretly change some settings, just because they know far better than I what I need? I did not even have to join some phony book club and 'register' or 'activate' anything.

Hi All,
Well that's news, didn't want it, need it, but I had to have it. Apart from making Edge/Shelf/What ever the IE's replacment is called my default browser and trying to make me use One Drive I can't see what else has broken? Any body know if in for a supprise?

I've been using CU since it became available, with all subsequent updates. I have no issues to report, except that I think I sometimes notice an almost imperceptible latency when I click on some shortcuts, especially in Edge. But it so brief I am not sure it really happens. 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

|
|
Hmm, am not Edge user, noticed it added/moved some short cuts to things....

Nothing broken here, and I've been using it on two PCs since shortly after the release.
There's a long thread on Reddit with the list of changes, and some bug reports: Creators Update(v1703) Megathread : Windows10[^]
But be warned: Reddit sometimes makes the Soapbox look like the pinnacle of civility!

Nothing changed since I last went to Reddit then?

I haven't noticed any differences, other than a slight speed up for some applications.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The only thing I noticed was that all of my default apps got set back to the defaults.
Won't use edge until I can pin the favorites to the left side of the window. And they rename it to "Chrome".

Been using Win10 since the release and also Win10-CU since the release. All good here.

Whenever I get a major update it changes the sharing security settings so I can no longer get to folders or the printer from other computers. Simple to fix but it shouldn't happen in the first place.
Also it keeps undoing the fix I put in to allow old style .hlp help files to work.

How do you fix it? I've got both my laptops on W10 now and they can't see each other. I'm loathe to turn on the "home network" option because I have no idea what it'll do.

Ahh the joy of WTF option that MS used to give and the question in your head "This will solve A, but what else will it do" or the famous three disk errors detected met with "Oh No, what doesn't work now", I lost MATLAB that way.
