Lots of Creators Fall Update Problems on the Forum!

Eagle51 · 22 Oct 2017

HP Envy 17 in my system specs and system is running fine, so I guess this is just an observation :)
Didn't see this with CU, but since update to FCU ... I'm getting black screen for approx. 15 secs, before the lock screen. All drivers up to date and device manager / event viewer / dism / sfc / chkdsk ... all report no issues. Running latest intel 4600 graphics driver (also tried a couple of previous vers), even tried the default windows video driver. Does in Safe Mode and Clean Boot, so know clue why it happens?

Note: Acts just a like an AMD/ATI graphics card with EnableULPS set to 1 , but to my knowledge intel graphics have no such settings

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.

A clean install would be better than an MR Restore because the problem you are trying to fix may be in That Restored Image that is unless you imaged a Clean installed Windows 10.

I was "invited" around a month ago to get CU. I declined ... and I purged the C:/$WINDOWS.~BT folder that had magically appeared at that time.

I want to stick with Windows 10. Whereas CU is just Windows 11 in disguise.

From what I've been reading here ... I don't want CU. I don't need the hassle, and I don't need the bugs.

Just info for you. It sounds like you are still on 10586 Update. If you are, and I'm not at all certain, this may apply to you. Support apparently ended 10/10/17...a couple weeks ago. No more security updates, etc. 14393 is still ok. I may be wrong, but here's the info:

You're not wrong. Anniversary Update 1607 (aka 14393) has five months left. Even Fall Creators Update only has 17 months until end of support. But of course, by then there will be newer versions.

Desktop operating systems	Date of availability	End of support
Windows 10 version 1507 **	July 29, 2015	May 9, 2017
Windows 10 version 1511 **	November 10, 2015	October 10, 2017
Windows 10 version 1607 **	August 2, 2016	Tentatively March 2018
Windows 10 version 1703 **	April 5, 2017	Tentatively September 2018
Windows 10 version 1709 **	October 17, 2017	Tentatively March 2019

It's called 'Windows as a Service' and is meant to provide continuous evolution instead having to get to grips with a major makeover once or twice a decade (remember Windows 8?).

Feature updates will be released twice per year, around March and September. As the name suggests, these will add new features to Windows 10, delivered in bite-sized chunks compared to the previous practice of Windows releases every 3-5 years.
