update from store cortana works here in uk

Yes and no...

...she's now exclusively only available if you have a Microsoft account, which I don't. In 1909 you didn't need one. And apparently she's 'Beta' now.

Got fed up checking Windows update, upgrade assistant still on 1909, so used the MCT on two PC's to update, no problems other than redoing a couple of Winaero tweaks, most remained intact. Quite quick as well considering I was streaming a film on a third PC as well. Won't miss the annoying paper clips mate as its disabled here anyway.

Has anybody incurred some issues with Audio System after successfully upgraded to 2004?. The reason I am asking, it's because this is one my biggest pet peeves after FU. It had happened to me so many times in the past.

So if the media creation tool is installing 2004 then the iso's it downloads are also 2004?

yes both 19041.264

the update created yet another partition on my boot drive:



As noted in my previous post, there were 4 partition after I tried the update the first time and it left my system unbootable.

This time it failed to boot just like the last time, but after I went to BIOS I noted there were 4 options listed as bootable partitions on my boot drive. So instead of letting it default to the first one, I picked the last one. And that booted with an update screen saying it had 30% to go. After that things returned to normal and i now boot to Build 19041.264.

I'd have to say that creating a new boot drive partition each time the update runs is a bug. But I reckon it's not severe enough to get fixed.

Oh well.

Define "Audio System" as many of us have varying degrees of them - aka different soundcards whether dedicated or MB integrated.

I for example don't have a dedicated soundcard and don't rely on the motherboard's since I run a USB DAC.

As you can see from my screenshot below, I have two headphones: one is from Bose, and the other from Sony (MDR-10RBT). Usually, after an update (mostly FU), both of them won't work or are giving really unbearable weird sound. Most of the time, in order to fix the issue, I would have to roll back the drivers if Audio troubleshooting couldn't help.



----updated----
I forgot to mention that I don't use any Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
