Apparently Microsoft is releasing a major Windows 10 update — also known as Redstone 5. It will include a number of new features for devices, like a new cloud clipboard that syncs across machines and a dark File Explorer.

But Microsoft is warning that computers might crash during the installation update.

Does anyone have any more information upon this?

Not to mention that the update has been put on hold because of a "bug" that causes personal files to be deleted in some cases. V1809 is, however, still available for download as a ISO file. I've been trying to find out when Micro$oft will go ahead with the push again. Nothing so far...

Yet more 'hiccups' to look out for lest they break your Windows:


Microsoft promises a fix for Windows 10 zip file woes. In November

You don't want fixes. You really want a shiny new Windows Search. Of course you do...

Microsoft has confirmed that, yes, that whole zip-file thing is indeed a bug and, er, no. It won’t be fixing it until November. But hey, how about a new Windows Search?

Open zip file, cut, paste and… argh!...

The advice is simple: “We recommend you fully extract the zip folder before you copy files to a new destination folder to avoid this issue.” It does, however, stop short of suggesting that a third party archive manager would be able to do the job or, heck, just uninstall the OS and have done with.

Slightly more worryingly, Microsoft also warns that users should “not attempt to Cut and Paste items from a compressed (.zip) folder” because “this may result in unintentionally deleting items that may not be recoverable.”...


... Windows 10 wrecking-ball weapon weirdly wanders wildly on worldwide web

Zero-day crash'n'pwn exploit for Microsoft's latest OS disclosed, no official patch available (yet)...

... The researcher has provided a proof-of-concept on GitHub and tweeted out a link earlier this week – see below. WARNING: it will crash your Windows 10 PC into recovery mode, and require you to revert your filesystem back to a previous good backup...

... Arcos has produced an unofficial micropatch for Windows 10 to close the security hole...


(Bad joke alert!)

That's a fun pair of user data afflicting bugs to redefine going pear-shaped? :-P


More serious: WHAT?! Microsoft patches now have "micro-patches"?!!...

Is that another MS registered trademark thingies? New Marketing?? Or just a little something less than a 1GByte lump so as not to blow your internet allocation for the month?

IT is what we choose our IT to be...

Racism and sarcasm don't mix. :-(

Muslims aren't a race. Please stop it with pulling the racism card for things like this. It's what they do as well.

There's a micropatch for that ...

If the recent "ZIP bug crash & wipe" was not bad enough for Windows 10 users you have this fixed bug:
Windows 10 bug lets Microsoft Store apps snoop on all your files without asking

The big takeaways for tech leaders:
* A bug in Windows 10 prior to the October 2018 Update, build 1809, allows UWP apps to access any user files without asking for permission.
* The bug has been resolved in the October 2018 Update but may result in earlier UWP apps crashing.

Windows developer Sebastien Lachance discovered that by default Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps can access any user-accessible file on a PC's drive.

This is despite UWP apps supposedly having to check with users before accessing the file system, outside of their own local storage.

"Recently, I learned that an UWP app can access the entire file system i.e. the app is not restricted to use the LocalStorage or files and folders via a Picker," Lachance wrote on his blog.

Lachance, a Microsoft-certified MVP for Windows Platform Development, says he has confirmed with friends at Microsoft that this is a bug and that it's been resolved in the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, otherwise known as build 1809.

My new HP desktop runs Windows 10 version 1803, while my older desktop, also HP, had Windows 10 1809, always in the Home edition. Has Microsoft retired the 1809 version?

1809 was removed from distribution because of major bugs, one of which deletes users personal files from the directories created by Windows when installed. I read one report where a user lost some 200GB of personal files/data.

When it's ready for prime time, 1809 will be distributed again.

Have a great day! :)

More of the "Who would believe it!" 'features' for Microsoft Windows systems:


Windows 10 Pro goes Home as Microsoft fires up downgrade server

Microsoft's activation servers appear to be on the blink this morning – some Windows 10 users woke up to find their Pro systems have, er, gone [to] Home...

... While there remains no official statement from Microsoft on the problem, users have reported that the hardworking support operatives of the Windows giant have warned that there is indeed a "temporary issue" with its activation servers related to the Pro edition. Affected customers are advised to sit tight and wait for a fix...


UK rail lines blocked by unexpected Windows dialog box

... Except when an Office 365 upgrade is being deployed.

Yup. Right about now would be perfect. I wasn't looking at that LIVE TRAIN SIGNALLING INFORMATION...



Do you allow your Windows system to phone home to Microsoft to up/down-grade you? Derailed or all along the usual lines?...

Unbelievable, except this is all for real!!
