CrAKeN Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The Creators Update is finally available via Windows Update Microsoft has finally pushed the go-ahead button for Windows 10 Creators Update on Windows Update, meaning that the first users are getting the automatic upgrade right now. The Creators Update was originally released on April 5 as a manual upgrade for users who didn’t want to wait, but now Microsoft is shipping the new OS version via Windows Update for a more automatic process. The process works just like in the case of Windows 10 Anniversary Update, so users should see the upgrade to version 1703 in Windows Update. The new OS version downloads the necessary files before asking for a reboot to complete the install. Rollout taking place in stages Before rushing to Windows Update to check for the Creators Update, there’s something you need to know: the new OS version is being released in stages, which means that it could take up to several months until your PC is provided with the update. This is needed to ensure a smooth upgrade for everyone, as Microsoft continues work with partners on addressing any issues that might be experienced during or after the upgrade is performed. Microsoft has a detailed explanation on how it plans to release the Creators Update to devices across the world: “Like with the Anniversary Update we delivered last August, this update for Windows will proceed in phases. Based on our experience and feedback from our customers, we believe a phased approach provides the highest quality update experience to the broadest set of customers,” the company says. “The first phase will target newer devices, especially those we tested together with our OEM hardware partners. We will then expand the Creators Update release to additional devices based on the feedback we receive during the initial phase. We’ll iterate this process over a period of several months until all compatible devices running Windows 10 worldwide are offered the Creators Update.” The next milestone for the Creators Update rollout is the debut of the phone version, which is scheduled to take place on April 25. Just like is the case on PCs, the phone rollout will take place in stages as well, but this time availability also depends on carrier, device, and region.

Karlston Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 If you can still remember the ummmm... "problems" with the last feature update rollout and the 3 months it took for it to be safe, you may want to take heed of this... Today’s the day to block Windows 10 Creators Update (InfoWorld - Woody Leonhard) IMO, better to sit back and watch the fireworks, than be an early victim adopter.

I guess I'm in the minority that doesn't get orgasmic over new updates and think a working system is infinitely preferable. 1,000 MB vs 114 MB? Hardly significant. Oh, almost forgot... in case you'd like to see a Microsoft video showing all those wonderful can't-live-without-them features in Creators update, Paul Thurrott has an article here...

Well the way they do updates now is better and install much faster now for me and the fact they released it yesterday dont mean a whole lot on this site it was already out . I had it installed since March 21st 2017 and many on this site already installed it . So to me it was just a another patch Tuesday with a much easy to install patch but that was the 4th cumulative update for 1703 . As far as new features it still has more features than Redstone 1 did but it dont matter so much as it use too like back when they made Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 witch they never got everything they promised. Windows 10 RS 3 will be out this fall . Windows 8.x stop getting new features 2 years ago even though it got 5 years of mainstream support the end user only ended getting 2 years witch made it very stable but also a very boring OS . https://www.onmsft.com/news/microsoft-has-quietly-released-windows-81-update-3-november-update Windows 10 already had 4 large updates with new features with more to come and it will be 2 years old the end of July . Windows 8x only had one large update and 3 small ones with new features ever. I'm not a fanboy things like them forgetting features most the time never bothered me but them never putting the native start menu in Windows 8.1 bothered me. And it was left out on purpose so it never would be a competitor with windows 10 . Sort of like vista it had 400 million users before windows 7 came out . windows 7 was made to put Windows Vista and XP out too pasture . It was easy for them too get most too switch from Vista too Windows 7 but it took years for it too ever take XP. Windows 10 was made to put Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 out too pasture. Windows 8.1 never had 400 million users so it never had a chance and Windows 7 want get 2 more extra years of update like XP did +1 it want work with new hardware and will become a non complaint windows in 2 years and 8 months.. My point is being stable helps a lot but it want make a OS succeed Vista was known for being incompatible with old hardware and it was incompatible with most software tell devs made it compatible and still had 400 million user strong OS install base before . Even windows 7 was not all that stable tell SP1. But windows 8x has been pretty stable the whole time and because they left out certain features it is a bigger flop than Vista was. So being stable is not everything and Windows 10 is taking on a new path to the future were a mobile OS like Android has more users than Desktop OS like windows. Microsoft is having to adapt or it will die as a OS maker . And as a OS user you ether have to adapt or be left behind in the past, or use some other non Microsoft OS and that's you're choice but it's also a Windows 10 users choice if they want be a insider or install major updates the day they come out .So why do people who are in love with stable waste there time? it never sold the masses on Windows 8x so it sure want sell them on Windows 10 witch gets 2 major updates a year. .

Many people who use Linux dont even like stable distros ether they use rolling releases and then they are those that do chose too use LTS .. The thing i think that is unfair with Windows they really dont give the consumer a chance to chose anymore. People should not have too use workarounds like we do on Windows 10 to stop updates etc There should be a Long Term Servicing Branch for the consumer on Windows like Linux has . It just shows the new CEO dont really care about consumers who care about stable they just care about big businesses who have the money too buy it. Still i find installing new versions of Windows 10 once every 6mths far more stable than using say Manjaro Linux on this system because sooner are latter something will break something even if i just stay behind in stable updates it will get there if it's a change they must make witch sooner or latter will show up in LTS releases anyway. . They will just tell you too buy new hardware if it breaks in Linux and cant be trouble shooted . No one is going too stay behind because its not compatible with you're system . But on a site like this were 75% pirate windows they can activate LTSB if they want and not have too do work arounds at all. I have a friend still on LTSB it's there choice if the want too wait tell the next LTSB to update windows 10 but it's my choice not hers ,not yours and anybody elses if i want too be a insider or install the latest version of Windows 10 the day it comes out.! Microsoft dont even install major updates on everyone's system at once they do it in waves most people on sites that pirate windows that dont still use Windows 7 or 8.1 force updates or clean installs too the next version or they install .LTSB. Do you forget witch site you're on? For me i used Redstone 1 every since a few weeks before it came out with no trouble , Also Ive used Redstone 2 every since a few weeks before it came out and had really no trouble yet but i cant say this about Manjaro Linux . I know others on Windows 10 say that had problems but it's never everyone who do it just depends on you're setup and you're hardware just like on Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
