The case against Windows 10 Anniversary Update grows

[Karlston]

With myriad problems now evident, it may be best to skip the Anniversary Update for now

Given the massive testing and repeated refinement that brought us Windows 10 Anniversary Update, you’d think the rollout would proceed with few debilitating problems. But you’d be wrong. From common installation problems to minor irritants to significant data destruction, reports of problems are mounting up.

 

You should consider dodging the update until Microsoft irons out the worst difficulties.

 

Everyone who's been paying attention to Windows 10 updates expected installation problems. Microsoft hasn’t yet delivered a Cumulative Update that installs on all machines, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Anniversary Update installs trigger a wide variety of failures, rollbacks, flakey Universal Windows programs, and error codes such as 0x80070020. I talk about all of those errors and more in my May article, 20 fixes for a Windows 10 update meltdown.

 

Mauro Huculak at Windows Central has a different list of problems that have occurred -- problems connecting to the Microsoft servers, driver incompatibilities, insufficient storage errors, damaged installation files, and more.

 

And, of course, we finally found out how to fix Cortana if he/she/it gets zapped in the course of the update.

 

There are very credible reports that the Anniversary Update is making entire volumes/drives invisible, prompting a reformat. The newest version of Win10 refuses to see some drives, identifying them as RAW, and prompting for an NTFS reformat. It’s easy to accidentally reformat the drive.

 

I’ve seen a report on AskWoody.com that the Anniversary Update makes the entire Group Policy setting for Configure Automatic Updates useless. While the gpedit setting for Configure Automatic Updates is still there, changing the setting there has no effect in the Win10 user interface (Start > Settings > Update & security > Update settings). It’s still too early to tell exactly how that’ll work, but the “Available updates will be downloaded and installed automatically” notice appearing in the Settings app does not inspire confidence.

 

There are more credible reports about Win10 locking up completely after the Anniversary Update. Redditor KuruQan found out that running a clean install fixes the problem. There are many different solutions proposed, but nothing official from Microsoft. We don’t even have official acknowledgment that the problem exists.

 

It looks like System Restore gets turned off when you install the Anniversary Update.

 

Several of the reported problems disappear if you roll back to the previous version of Windows -- for those in the Insider program, that means going back to build 14393.0 (or possibly .5). For those of you who aren’t in the beta test program, that means rolling back to the Fall Update, build 1511.

 

But there’s yet another problem with rollbacks. Richard Hay reported yesterday on Windows Supersite that Microsoft has just -- unilaterally, and without notification to anyone -- changed the rules, so rollbacks can only be performed for 10 days after the initial installation. “Microsoft can now recover anywhere between 3 and 5GB of storage space on the users device that would normally be occupied by the previous operating system files that were saved for a possible rollback recovery.” That’s a decent argument now, but somebody should’ve told Microsoft last year when they silently pushed 3GB to 6GB of unwanted data onto Windows 7 and 8.1 computers as part of the “Get Windows 10” effort. How convenient to have that change of heart.

 

Adding insult to ignominy, the Anniversary Update is changing all sorts of settings. The officially recognized changes include:

 

• Pen Settings. To personalize your pen settings, go to Settings > Devices > Pen & Windows Ink.
• Notification settings. To personalize, go to Settings > System > Notifications & actions > Notifications.
• Tablet Mode settings. To personalize, go to Settings > System > Tablet Mode.
• Virtual Desktops. To recreate your virtual desktops, click the Task View icon on your taskbar and select Add New Desktop.

 

Poster jescott418 on the same Microsoft Answers thread adds this:

Just great, all the tiles are live again, back to annoying notifications, default icons Edge, and Store back on taskbar which is not such a big deal. But still, so much for customizing your PC anymore. Well, I just got to move past Windows I guess. No respect for the individual user anymore. Can't stop these updates and I guess can't expect your PC will be like before they updated. Long-time Windows user, really had enough. 

The list of broken drivers goes on and on. For example, Brother Corp just sent a reassuring email to all their customers that says:

This notice is for customers using Win10 OS. If you are not using Win10, this notice does not pertain to you. The next major update to Windows 10 is scheduled to be released on August 2nd, 2016. After your Windows 10 PC has been updated, either automatically or by manually updating through Windows Updates, you may no longer be able to print or scan using the USB and Network connections. To resolve this issue, you will need to uninstall the existing Brother software and then reinstall it. 

With the update rolling out slowly, there’s a good chance it hasn’t yet tried to install itself on your machine. If that’s the case, you can proactively try to block the update for now. If you’re on a Wi-Fi connection, you can use the metered connection trick to keep the Anniversary Update off your machine. If you have Windows 10 Pro, you can bypass the forced update to Win10 Anniversary Update by clicking Start > Settings > Update & recovery > Advanced Options and check the box marked Defer upgrades. If you aren’t on Wi-Fi and only have Win10 Home, you’re forced into a considerably more complex blocking situation which involves using wushowhide to keep it off your machine.

 

There’s one conclusion that rings out loud and clear: Windows 10 desperately needs a way to control forced updates. And I’ve said it for the past 18 months, but Windows 10’s aching Achilles’ heel is patching. Microsoft’s refusal to allow normal Win10 users to vet patches before they’re pushed still ranks as one of the main reasons to avoid Windows 10.

 

Back in the not-so-good old days, Microsoft released periodic Service Packs for Windows. The terminology isn’t fashionable anymore (somebody please remind me why). But back then, you had a choice about installing Service Packs -- you could surf on the bleeding edge and install them as soon as they came out, or you could wait a week, or a month, or a year to make sure Microsoft had its act together before you installed a massive change.

 

Not so anymore.

 

Windows honcho Terry Meyerson started us down this road a little over two years ago, when he released Update 1 for Windows 8.1, which was a coerced “Service Pack” without the name. That campaign drew unprecedented attack because Microsoft didn’t allow enough time to iron out the problems with Update 1 (later renamed to just “Windows 8.1 Update,” and the “Update” terminology has slowly disappeared).

 

We’re seeing the same disaster playing out again. Microsoft expects all Windows 10 users (except those on the Branch for Business or LTSB) to move to Anniversary Update as soon as Microsoft pushes the update onto their machines. There are no exceptions and precious little opportunity to push back, in spite of the problems.

 

Kinda makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Avoid the Windows 10 Anniversary Update for now

I recommend that you actively block the Windows 10 Anniversary Update

[steven36]

What case ? They already released it now ..Its not like they can take it back ,Only thing you can do is go back to TH2 and lock down the updates and pray they fix it or dont use Windows 10  at all  if you're having problems.. Witch if you dont like dealing with bugs would be you're best choice to use something else.  The only case i see is the case of installing something else or deal with it.

 

People should of knew they hadn't got all the bugs out. I even warned everyone they had not got the bugs out and predicted that starting on Aug 3rd   these horror stories  would be posted  , People freak out when a normal patch Tuesday  update is released anymore what did you expect would happen once they released  a build with 5000 changes ?They lost many Insiders with Redstone it was the most buggy release of it yet.

Some of us still don't have it have it on our Windows 10 boxen. May have something to do with the Windows Update service being disabled.

 

Microsoft still has options... pull it or fix it and re-release it. Or do nothing and pretend that all is wonderful.

 

[Kalju]

Strange thing, I have now more than two days been looking for these mistakes,  about what everyone's talking, but I think I'm blind or so demented - nothing is to do, not find anything, at least still have not found.
Interestingly to know, when is the time if they will appear.

Not really and option its just a temporary fix for a permanent problem that I'm afraid is not going get any better . If you have to block updates to use it you be better off using something else.

I could say the same thing,  because i been testing this build since it came out longer than you and i have very little  problems with it , but im not..and you always  say the same thing that problems dont exist in Windows 10 every update ,  but i know people who had to go back to TH2  that  work on computers even . Just because you dont have problems dont mean they dont exist for millions even, there are 320 million users of this flavor of windows you're just one person get it! 

[Kalju]

No, I don't say that there isn't problems, but usually there is another reason, not only Windows. I see every day more and more clearly as different the people are.
People are so different. It is strange.

Strange how they go back to what they was using before and it works fine  , I predict people who still have Windows 7 or 8.1 keys laying around to reformat if they dont fix these issues soon . Most people are not going to run windows without updates, only techies even have any idea how to do this. Most people that used Windows 7 and 8.1 didn't have the knowledge to keep Windows 10 from hijacking them .Do you think there going to  know how to turn WU service off or block it with a FW  not!, they didn't even know how turn updates off on versions of windows that they could.

I haven't thought about it, because it have not been a problem for me. I know what I'll do if something is not good to me. But I will not go to make a loud yelling, if there is some little issue. Never cannot be so, that in any way cannot go on. Always is some possibilities somewhere.

What worries  me that I invest a lot of time in using something and it goes too poop , when is it going to be my turn to start having issues again? When I 1st  used Windows 10 back last summer i had driver issues , INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE error in Windows 10  and had to replace a HHD  i waited tell last month to ever test it again.its been better for me this time though so far.

[Kalju]

OK, will stay forward to the results.
In fact, I have always been interested in the reasons why something is the way as it is. Why everything has happened.

So, please now problems, else it is like chatting.

If You are interested in the problems of Windows 10 go to the sections of the board were we they try to help people ,or a forum that's for  this sort of thing  Most news post about Windows dont really offer no real answers . They mostly just say how good or bad something is based on some journalist opinion .  Some of its true some of its not . If they do give answers The answers they give most of the time are below my intelligence level . i get most of my answers from forums were they solved there problem not from people who post about them. 

[Kalju]

Yes, sometimes I look at what is being done, for example, in the forum "bleepingcomputer", but just looking arround and the black depression falls to apart.
There is a feeling that everything around you just only cries and dying.

How do you take something serious  when someone can post something at Reddit or Twitter or someone from some company may of  told some journalist   something and then a 100 more journalist  rewrite  the story to fit there own agenda ? By the time it gets to you it may not be the same story so i always try to backtrack to the real source and see what they said. I dont take every thing thats posted as the gospel truth . i take it was posted because that's how they make a living and they need hits.

[Kalju]

If I'm interested in something, I have tried look for source and read from there. I hate these copy machines.

It's a perfectly good option. No real difference to the sensible "Notify but don't download and install updates" choice on Windows 8.1/8/7/..., and only downloading/installing when the updates are safe.

 

It's the only (and IMO easiest) way to stop Microsoft force feeding me brand new but potentially dodgy Windows 10 updates. I'll enable the service when the inevitable bugs are resolved (aka "when Woody says it's OK"), not before, do the updates, disable the service again, rinse and repeat as necessary.

What ever works for you . I updated to redstone two of my PCs with no issues ,the thing i dont like about Woody's site is this ..People dont do  updates based on others user experiences out of fear it  may not  happen to you at all. . It dont mean it will happen too you because it happened to Sue are Jim Bob . And if you never test nothing to see if it works for you are not you dont know.  Its boring that's sites answer to everything is just dont update . We know what hes going to say before he says it even.

 

I tuned Windows updates off and done them all every month expect  for get windows 10 updates  on PCs i didn't have Windows 10 on . i never got bothered about updating too windows 10  other than from fanboys and the other updates  never broke nothing  on my end. Now that is over its not a free upgrade . I'm already on Windows 10 because i choose to be, if it ever gave me problems i will slap another O/S in . I will deal with it when i cross that bridge . Im not going to stop doing updates on some peoples fear!

 

So you let some other users control you're update pattern on fear  .That is worse than updating  then fixing it if you have too ..I been testing software for 15 years and I didnt need the news to help me do it . If everyone was scared to update nothing never would get fixed are reported to Microsoft for them to fix .I never knew who woody was tell like 2015. I never was really interested in the PC news tell a few years ago much less know who wrote it.

The problem with relying on an individual user's experience with the OS is their experience level and the hardware they are using.  I have been working with Windows since version 1.03 in 1983.  Every new version that comes out is provided on a test system to every member of IT (over 150 systems) plus designated expert users in each department.  All our software and normal user functions are tested and then a decision is made.  If extensive fixes are required we skip the OS.  Currently only LTSB is being used on selected systems but for the rest Windows 10 is being skipped, like other crappy OS releases like Me, Vista, and 8. Updates are tested in the same manner and only those that are approved are ever applied to systems.

 

I base my personal use on these tests also and for that reason I only have LTSB on some of my personal systems.  And I can honestly say that up to this point I have had no problem with it.  But then it doesn't have all the junk (no edge, no apps, no restrictions) and I use a firewall that started by  blocking all connections and then selectively opening up connections one by one to control what I was going to allow.  

 

Back in the early 90s I use to read every tech book that came out on Windows.  Most of them were guides to the underlying capabilities of the OS written for tech people who had to customize and fix the OS to run their software and hardware.  Those that remember autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and zmodem and editing them to load device drivers high, designating their memory locations, their order of loading, and tweaking their settings will know what I am talking about. Now in the 20xx era I don't buy the books, read a few articles but mostly from professional tech sites, and don't pay any attention to individual user experiences.

Woody's recommendations are based on many users' feedback, not just his experiences alone. When he says there are problems or no problems it's based on the collective view of Woody and a sizeable number of folks, both industry gurus and a collection of Woody's clever followers.

Rubbish! *I* decide when updates are applied or not. All I'm doing is listening to the experienced folks, is that wrong?

 

Crossing my fingers and updating anyway is IMO reckless. I don't give a rat's fuzzy rump about having my Windows PC up to date milliseconds after Microsoft releases updates.

 

Having the latest and greatest ASAP is an obsession that I'll let others indulge in. Slow and cautious is my approach, learnt many times from the University of Experience.

Most sysadmins that are using Windows 10  are testing Pro because i read there forum  are trying figure out a way to not have too sign a contract with Microsoft for enterprise. That's the whole reason Microsoft removed some group policy from PRO is so they would sign a contract with them .  That dont mean they want figure away around all this I did ,but Microsoft is going keep making it worse on them every major  update  tell they give in and there going destroy the consumer market in the process to try to get them to sign .

Some are going back to windows 7 and some are talking about  using Linux . So stop acting like all businesses use enterprise they dont. Most Home users dont even know what group policy is . All they know is Twitter , Facebook ,YouTube  and Netfilx  . It dont matter to most people because they dont know what it is .

 

Putting updates off is not going to help, it dont have nothing to with the home user. if you chose to use Windows 10  its just going get worse because they want businesses off pro .  The Home users  plain didn't work to get them all on windows 10  so now there going after businesses and try force them on to enterprise.

Well i hate to tell you windows 10 not for you because at lest for consumers its not designed to turn off updates. And years of testing Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 doing all updates and having little or no regression so doing updates proves is not reckless you think they got 1.5 billion  users  because windows blows up? No  most consumers the masses never turned off updates and most never had much problems .  that's why they have so many users.  Most people who  uses windows 10 they didn't buy it noways  .

 

There's no use for them to cry now .Ether reformat and use something else or deal with it. The reason most stayed on windows 7 as they knew what was coming  from what happen with other New O/S. You should at lest wait 2 years but Microsoft hoodooed  320 million in upgrading   2 years before most would of .

An InfoWorld follow up from Woody...

Problems with last week’s Anniversary Update keep piling up, and solutions remain elusive

Late last week, I recommended that you actively block the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The past few days have brought yet another wave of complaints. Here’s a sample.

 

Last week, I talked about the Reddit post from SoloWingX stating that Windows 10 freezes completely after the Anniversary Update. That thread is now up to 680 comments. SoloWingX has done yeoman work documenting dozens of potential solutions -- and none of them have been successful. He concludes with a TL;DR:

To all affected people, we haven't yet found a definite solution, so the only option to get a working PC at the moment is to roll back to a previous build in case you updated.

As noted last week, you have only 10 days to roll back from the Anniversary Update (Win10 version 1607) to the Fall Update (version 1511).

 

Edge still has plenty of problems. I’ve hit situations where Edge will not close by clicking on the red X. Also, I can X out of the last open tab and Edge keeps running, when closing the only open tab should shut down the program as a whole. The problems seem to appear after visiting sites with lots of ads -- like the ones linked to from msn.com, for example. Once the problems start, they don’t go away. The only solution I’ve found is to reboot.

 

Two antivirus manufacturers have reported problems. McAfee states:

Do not [emphasis in the original] upgrade to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update without first verifying whether your McAfee product is compatible. This caution affects the products listed in the Environment section above... Microsoft intended to implement an upgrade and installation check to ensure that no incompatible McAfee product versions could be installed or present. Due to time constraints, Microsoft could not implement the intended version check in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update… Microsoft has indicated that a hotfix will be released some time after the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to implement the version check. The Microsoft hotfix will protect against installation of incompatible McAfee product versions; however, this hotfix cannot protect against upgrades to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update from nodes already running an incompatible McAfee product version on a previous build of Windows.

Avast has a similar warning:

On Tuesday, August 2, Microsoft released their latest version of Windows 10 -- the Anniversary Update -- via the Windows Update channel. While the majority of our users didn’t have a problem, certain HW configurations didn't mix well with the update… This occurred during upgrades to the Windows 10 Anniversary edition from previous versions of Windows, and during clean installations of Avast Antivirus on systems already running the Anniversary Update… Neither the Windows Insider program nor the Avast Antivirus Beta channel indicated any forewarning of such behavior.

By the way, to see an excellent example of a bug advisory, look at the Avast announcement -- very well done, clear, and thorough. Kudos!

 

Sam Machkovech at Ars Technica reports Xbox One controllers and Windows 10 PCs: It’s all a mess right now:

Windows 10 Anniversary Update woes continueWhether you use a new Bluetooth controller or you upgraded your old XB1 to this week's Windows 10 Anniversary edition, get ready for some road bumps… That being said, the primary compatibility issue is wreaking havoc on various PC games whose controller support used to work just fine. Some games no longer recognize when Xbox One controllers are connected via Bluetooth or through the official Xbox One wireless adapter. Other games, as well as Steam's Big Picture mode, think a single Xbox One controller is two controllers simultaneously… Windows 10's Anniversary update also broke current homebrew ways to get popular controllers, like Sony's DualShock 4, to play with Windows PCs.

The Ars angst for Xbox One controllers on Win10 Anniversary Update goes on for several pages.

 

In the FUD zone, I’m still unclear about the ability to block crapware tiles. I wrote about the problem a couple of weeks ago: Admins can’t keep Microsoft from pushing crapware Live tiles onto Win10 Pro PCs because certain Group Policies don’t work in the Anniversary Update. My current Win10 Pro AU machine has tiles for Solitaire, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Pandora, Asphalt 8, Age of Empires Castle Siege, FarmVille 2, Minecraft, Twitter, and Get Office -- in other words, about half of my Start menu tiles are unabashed, Microsoft-installed crapware, all on a machine that’s been through the official “start fresh” regimen.

 

Now there’s a debate raging on AskWoody.com about those tiles and whether individual Win10 Pro customers can block them. Microsoft Engineer J. Decker, writing on TechNet, says:

On all Windows desktop editions, users can directly enable and disable Windows 10 tips, tricks, and suggestions and Windows Store suggestions. For example, users are able to select personal photos for the lock screen as opposed to the images provided by Microsoft, or turn off tips, tricks, or suggestions as they use Windows.

Some interpret Decker as saying “all advertising in the Anniversary Update can be turned off by the user.” I think that’s a great goal and would love to tell people how to do it. But in my experiments, I can’t get the crapware tiles turned off. If you know how, slap me upside the head on AskWoody.

 

I’m not saying that everyone’s having problems -- far from it. But I'm saying there are enough problems -- some of them severe -- floating around that installing the Win10 Anniversary Update at this point doesn’t make sense. Well-informed customers would be advised to wait until the bugs get ironed out.

 

I fully expect that Microsoft will include some fixes in this week’s Patch Tuesday. Likely we’ll have fixes for both version 1511 build 10586 (the old Fall Update) and version 1607 build 14393 (the new Anniversary Update) that will reduce problems with the upgrade from one to the other. Equally likely, we won’t see much -- if any -- documentation about the fixes. They’ll be rolled into cumulative updates.

 

Let’s wait until later this week to see if the complaint decibel level dies down.
