Just checked - depending upon what a SIUF is .. I did get another email from the Insider team as of the 17th... but nothing since.

I also received an email on January 18 or 19 but I think D. Sarkar refers to this type of email:

There are two types of SIUF (System Initiated User Feedback), the first is the one that asks you, for example: "would you recommend your antivirus application to a friend or colleague?" or "what is your level of satisfaction with this build?" or they ask you about a specific feature of the OS, precisely yesterday I received one of these popups asking me why I had disabled "Sets", here I show an image of that type of SIUF or popups:

But, AFAIK, D. Sarkar in that tweet refers to the second type of SIUF, those who ask you if the problem you reported was solved, this one:

I did not update to .1002 via the individual download, but today tried the WU version. Took a little longer than normal, 64 minutes, but seems to be working just fine so far.

When my 17074.1002 turned its toes up, I downloaded an iso of 17025 and now have that installed.
I postponed updates for one week, but then realised that the drivers for the chipset and the graphics card were also stopped.
Switching back on the updates solved this and after the chipset, graphics and WD had finished, the " up to date" came on , but I am now unable to stop further updates.
I don't seem to be able to stop 17074.1002 from installing itself, I was hoping another build would appear next week.
I'm using AMD.

After another clean install, yes, I lost Sets. But I think I might know what happened - and I am going to do yet another clean install and this time I am setting u pa Macrium backup of the thing after installing all apps, and logging in to FCU, and moving the \Users tree, so I can then just start from there instead of having to do it all over again - and again.

Every 6 months is not a big deal to reinstall everything, but this is probably the 10th in 2 months - and it is getting old lol.

Not quite sure why you’re having to clean install so often. Not quite sure what you mean with the FCU/User tree thing.

SFAIK Sets would be downloaded and installed as a package. I'm thinking it must be included with everyone’s update, then turned on remotely somehow? Not sure. I searched the Registry for Sets with no returns. Searched my Windows folder and got a truckload of files. 6-1/2 pages of FE on a 27” monitor. This feature must’ve taken awhile to develop.

Files include setx.exe (Sets environment variables), DLLs, manifests, Java, INFs, XMLs, and more.

I’m sure @Edwin would like to look at these. Here’s a link to images those FE pages: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Also, since I copy the Edge backups folder, I think that is why Timeline is showing older stuff than my most recent install - but I may be wrong. It might be something else.

I’ll have to look into that.

The one on the 17th is all I received.

I fill these out and get no emails.

I'm done with the discussion of windows.old. I do not expect Microsoft to look into this problem anymore. Unlocker rules.

Not sure why the "Free up space now" cleaner in Storage Sense works for some and not others. It is, of course, a mystery. I'm sure they'll get it fixed in a few years, Marty.

I am choosing to do so, at I am conducting a lot of testing of update procedures as well as scenarios of certain app installs in each build.

For example, it seems 17074 breaks eVGA's Precision X tool....
I think it had to do with either using / not using Cortana, or else some other system file.

I disable Cortana as much as possible upon install.

I see. So you test for some companies then?

Oh, so your in love with Siri or Alexa then I take it.
