Lots of Creators Fall Update Problems on the Forum!

Here is a list of common complaints I have seen on other foums:

1) Candy Crush has reinstalled

2) text in file explorer is not properly centralised

3) It took four hours to upgrade (but is ok)

4) apps keep restarting on reboot (we know way round that)

5) there is a spelling mistake in menus (changed instead of changes)

6) I cannot see files on demand (we know way round that)

7) It has installed old drivers again

etc. etc.


Reality is most issues are easily sorted.

I have seen very few major bugs like we had on AU e.g. the camera bug, hard drives partitions being deleted etc,

I have seen very few, it did not upgrade etc.

Overall, I think based on comments I have seen, this has been the smoothest upgrade of all (and I was openly sceptical this would be the case with uup).

I understood that installing an ISO from the Media Creation Tool results in a clean install, which in turn erases everything on the drive (in my case an SSD) including third party programs living there, which all have to be reinstalled - a major task. in my case involving Photoshop, InDesign and many others.

How come your installation of the ISO un-installed only one of your third part programs?

A clean install from the ISO made with Media Creation Tool will, as with any other ISO and clean install, wipe everything and start fresh. I.E. - Clean. Running the ISO with In-Place Upgrade gives options of what to keep. Running Media Creation Tool with update option or Windows Update Assistant will not blow anything away - unless the app/prog is incompatible and simply will not run on FCU. Options there are try to re-install it, or install it with win 8 or 7 compatibility.

Here's an oddity....

For some odd reason after sometime in Edge, (around an hour) it suddenly loses focus and I can't right click links and copy them. Same goes for text or images. I have to use Ctrl +C to copy. Or completely close out of Edge and go back in again. Didn't have this till after the Fall Update.

Anyone else seeing this?

He didn't do a clean install. He just used the MCT ISO to do the upgrade locally. I did the same thing on one of my PC's. I downloaded the ISO, mounted it, then ran setup.exe. All from the currently installed and booted too OS. It's does an upgrade from the files in the ISO.

Thanks. I always have a recent Macrium image of my C drive on my SSD and that would be my first choice following a crash etc. but its good to have another recovery route.

Those MR images are also nice because you can mount them thru MR and pick at the files and copy if needed.
