Re: Windows 10 update history - Windows Help


It almost brings tears to my eyes to see such a complete update description. Actually, the description is now better than it's ever been, IMO.

Update went very smooth. I also liked being able to read what the update fixed, Big step forward!

Got 10586.122

The real biggie for many is that network discovery has now been fixed. ALL shares pop up, incl Linux devices.

All those months of angst gone! But if one was a bit curmudgeonly (who, us?), one could ask why the hell it took so long.

This will really please a huge number of people, especially those who updated their business computers and found the sharing discovery didn't work.

Hello Everyone,

I cannot seem to update my computer via KB3140743. I have tried doing this from Windows Update and the standalone installer. It appears that it is working but when I restart the computer it eventually says that the update failed to install and undoes whatever changes it has made. I am not sure where to look to get more information. The other update that came today did install (KB3139907).

I am running windows 10 Pro - 64-bit. If you want other system specs let me know. I never have had an issue with an update not installing since I upgraded.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
