Now this is priceless. My SSD is a clean Windows 7 install... I use it for staging. Windows Update failed to install said updates, because the default setting for the Windows Updates are Ready for Installation little icon in the bottom right of your screen was not enabled.

I had similar issues (tried several times uselessly), then I've followed a good suggestion of a CP user: reinstall the newer Win 10 image (iso) as a clean installation. I installed it on a VmWare VM.
That went (99%) fine, although even the latest 10168 release seems very unstable.
Briefly, here's what I found:
* the VM closed unexpectedly simply leaving it in background (I was browsing Internet on the host machine).
* the Edge browser closed unexpectedly on navigating to http://www.html5test.com
* once I closed (suspended) the VM, the host machine entered in a quasi-stuck state: everything seemed frozen (nor the power-off button was working). That took several minutes, then the PC gone fine again.

Actually the thing is that after recent strategies of Microsoft, such as these updates of Windows, a lot of major bugs in their frameworks and too much stupid behavior including that closing of Windows Phone department, leaving 7800 employees in agony. I think I am loosing hope in Microsoft, and not only me but many others would be finding their way off to other frameworks.
I was a fan of .NET framework, and now that .NET framework is available on Linux also, I won't hesitate a shift.

I thought the mandatory update was only for Windows 10 Home edition.
Anyway, I just got that error a few days ago on a Windows 7 system I had not had powered on for over a year (there were 137 updates). I looked up the error (pretty simple as there was a link to look it up).
You just have to configure the notification area for Windows Update to "Show icon and notifications" - at least that fixed it on my system.

Yup, easy fix, just too funny.
Mandatory updates - from what I've read, I concur with your assessment of mandatory updates. Professional level and above work the same as they do now.

W10 Pro only gets a 4(?) month grace period on updates. If you want to be able to refuse updates for years, you need a copy of W10 enterprise. Unless you're able/willing to abuse an MSDN license; you can't get one of those without an SA agreement.

This doesn't bother me too much. What bothers me is if MS borks an update and renders my machine unusable, I have no recourse (other than going to the dark side). I wonder what else is in the new license agreement....

That's a WTF bug if I ever saw one. Especially since many people have probably intentionally turned down its visibility to avoid the nags until they're ready to reboot.

I've almost never had a painfree experience trying to install more than a year's worth of updates to Windows in a single go.
My (unproven) theory, from manually batching the installs 20 or so at a time, is that just as it shows the list of available updates with the newest ones at top it tries to install them that way; and then horks all over itself with dependency hell. Installing from the bottom of the list (oldest first) has always ended up working less painfully.

O....Kay...
Thank you for that informative and entertaining information.
Now, would you care to try again but remembering that we have no idea what the heck you are talking about this time?

I concur, sort of, perhaps, maybe for sure.

How could an "enterprise" (e.g., a multi-story hotel or a shopping mall parking lot supervisor or whatever) save a whopping quantity of data ? The quantity I'm considering would not work with on-site storage; this quantity would have to be off-site.
Off the top of my head, I'm thinking...
- One solid week (168 hours)
- Five hundred video cameras
- 720p continual video monitoring
- Typical video quality for that resolution
- Color, infrared, nite-vision, whatever, as the mood strikes
Bandwidth alone would be really huge. Just did the math and a bluetooth connection wouldn't keep up with the first screen scan (anybody, please correct any bad arithmetic).
Is this even possible in the first place ?
Looks like 557,383,680,000 bytes of just data; no protocol or formatting, from one camera.
Is that about half a Terabyte ?
