psyko666 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Last October at the Windows 10 event in New York City, Microsoft officially unveiled the Windows 10 Creators Update, codenamed “Redstone 2.” At the event, Microsoft stated that the update will be released in “early 2017” but we didn’t know when exactly the update will arrive. Until now, anyway. Per my sources, Microsoft will be releasing the Windows 10 Creators Update this April. While the update initially had a version number of 1703 in Insider Builds leading to speculation that it would be released in March 2017, we can reveal that the final version number will actually be 1704 for an April release. This is not the first time that Microsoft has changed version numbers in Insider Preview releases, the firm previously changed the Xbox’s Anniversary Update release number from 1607 to 1608 last year. For those unfamiliar, the version number for the update indicates its release month and year: the “17” in 1704 indicates the release year – in this case, 2017 and the “04” indicates the month of release: April. Like the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft will gradually roll out the Creators Update to ensure the best experience for Windows 10 users, but users will be able to manually upgrade to the Creators Update if they want to. CREATORS UPDATE SHOULD BE “FEATURE LOCKED” BY THE END OF JANUARY Microsoft is currently in the process of finalizing things for the Windows 10 Creators Update. The Creators Update is expected to be “feature locked” by mid/late January which means most of the shipping features will be present by that period. That certainly doesn’t mean that the update is “complete” per se, as Microsoft will be working on polishing the new features and fixing bugs before the release. The company has already started planning for the next update, codenamed “Redstone 3” which is expected to bring a range of new features, including an improved design language for the OS. I was told that Redstone 3 is planned to be released before the end of 2017, but things are in the very early stage of development, so there isn’t a set date just yet. Do keep in mind that these are Microsoft’s internal plans, and the company may change their plans whenever they want. But at this point of development, it’s unlikely their plans will see any major change. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Windows 7 forums the subfourm with the most post is BSOD crashes 33,898 post and thats just one site.and one type of bug. https://www.tenforums.com/bsod-crashes-debugging/?s=9dca6d3bbef5a88fed937fd12dc9cb30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of folks did. Then it took Microsoft 8 (or was it 9) subsequent updates to the Anniversary Update before these and all the others were sorted. Microsoft has totally lost the plot with QA. Anyway, thanks for installing updates early. If not for beta-testers such as yourself, there'd be even more bugs. 7 hours ago, steven36 said: Ultimate List of Windows 7 Bugs and Goof-ups Windows 7 (and 8.1) is stable, mature, and gives users control. Windows 10 is neither and doesn't. Give Windows 10 a year or so to catch up with Windows 7. In the Bugs and Goofs metric, that is, not in stability, maturity, and user-control. 7 hours ago, steven36 said: Seven and a half years old And windows 7 dont even hardly make the windows news expect for the marketshare report once a month Because Windows 7's (and 8/8.1's) UI and functionality are stable. UNlike the times, they ain't a-Changing. Good luck to you when (not if) Microsoft decide to change the Windows 10 UI and you hate it. That's the problem with Windows 10 being "the last version of Windows", major changes to UI and functionality will happen, and Windows 10 users will just have to suck-it-up.

Anyway I tend to modify when possible, one tablet was Kindle Fire now it is old glorious CM12.1, but future not clear now, I hope developer will continue to support with maybe lineageos or what will come, I don't like fireos ads. And I have bootable usb like tails. i done this for awhile with Linux Mint when i changed hard drives i had Linux mint on one PC and Windows 8.1 on the other , i started having problems on my AMD machine with display drivers and new versions of Linux Mint and Ubuntu so i put Windows 10 back on it and have a dedicated Hard drive for Linux . but Manjaro works fine on my AMD PC.. this was the reason i started learning Arch and i have Linux mint 17.3 right beside it. On my Intel machine when i changed to Windows 10 on it i went ahead and made another partition and installed Linux mint 18 on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
