Windows 10 October 2018 Update rollout now paused

I didn't get my hands on it, Magilla, so I wouldn't know. I do know I've tested many "features" I thought were great but no one else did.

I had it for couple of builds, it had marginal usability. I mean it worked but not adjustable enough.

How can it be deprecated if it was never actually a feature of Windows.

It was for one build I think.

Well said.

Thank you, Cereberus.

Is that unappreciated or deprecated, or a feature reducing in value - lol?

Good morning, Cereberus. Lots of folks use depreciated in place of deprecated. I tend to think that when someone comes across deprecate, it's literally read as depreciate. The "eye" inserts the the "i" because depreciate is the more familiar term. All that aside, depreciate is sort of accurate, since in order to deprecate something, it should first be depreciated in value.

In my search for the meaning of both, I found that within these TF walls deprecate is the more accurate term:

Deprecation
Deprecation is the discouragement of use of some feature, design or practice, typically because it has been superseded or is no longer considered safe, without (at least for the time being) removing it from the system of which it is a part or prohibiting its use.

Deprecate vs. depreciate
To depreciate is (1) to lessen in value, or (2) to lower the value of something, especially by falsely undervaluing, disparaging, or belittling it. The word is most common in financial contexts.

Deprecate traditionally means to express disapproval of, but over the last century it has gained another sense—to disparage or belittle—that makes it roughly synonymous with depreciate in that word’s second sense.

You can be self-deprecating, but not self depreciating as far as i know.

Example:
No one would suggest President Trump was ever self-deprecatory.

Yeah I was joking really.

Divorce is definitely self-depreciation - lol.

Hi folks

I seem to be stuck with an un-updateable build -- can't get the 107 update -- this is still on 55 and just forever stays in WD defender update.

Attachment 211840

Going to trash this build but what to go to --there's too many versions / options out there concurrently -- goodness knows what the various paths mean any more.

Do I have to roll back to 1803

Cheers

Jimbo, I'm also on 1809.55. I got here via the original Windows Update which I kept because I wan't affected by the file deleting issue. There was a CU that took me to 1809.55.

I can't say how others got to where they are, but it's my understanding that so far, there are two versions of 1809 at this point. Mine and all those others.
