KB4568831 Cumulative Update Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.423 - July 31 Win Update

Just another M$ stuff up with this Update too....watch out screen goes Black for about 5 minutes, then appears trick..
Unbelievable, there is no escaping this BS from this Company, I have 5 PC's and everyone but 1 did the same Black screen (and all display Drivers are updated)...
I escaped W-Insiders for these very reasons.....what the hell do you think Novice users will do?
This company is run my idiots..seriously, anyone who thinks this is good enough, well have a reality check.

Windows Update won't automatically install this cumulative update preview if you check for updates , but it will automatically install the .NET framework update preview for some reason.

@Ztruker this has nothing to do with the new update. There exist a bug that the first time you install office 2007 the microsoft office validation fails and after 5 retries for 24 hours you cant download any update with an error message. After 24 hours the updates can installed again.

I don't think that was happening, I/O and cpu load was idle and I did wait about 5-10min (nothing seemed to be happening in background).
I didn't check what processes were running, I probably should of but never saw this happen before.

I find it, because i saw in my task manager that the windows update take away 20% form my pc. So i waited 15-20 min and then it asked for restart.

Hi folks
I can't understand all this "Ms hosed up my machine" stuff that sometimes appears on these boards.

These are basically "Test type" releases - and so there are likely to be defects in them -- if people are imbecellic enough to use these as "production type" machines then IMO they need their brains tested (assuming they have any in the first place). If you are lucky enough to have a stable machine with these releases good -- but I still wouldn't use it as an "everyday" machine unless you are retired, have spare machine or just a glutton for punishment and not reliant on using the PC for work.

The savest way IMO to install any of these releases is either install first as a Virtual machine --failing that backup i.e image your current system first --there's enough free products around --Macrium is good enough for this purpose and is used and liked by loads on these forums.

Now download and create the appropriare release and iso from the UUPDUMP site --this usually works out easier than waiting for Ms's WU to show a release on some systems and run the setup.exe from the created iso.

An advantage of this method is that you don't have to sign up to any "Insider" rings so you can test as many different releases as you want.

Disadvantage of course is that if there is a problem with WU then you won't be testing it !!!

"You pays your money and takes your choice"

If the update etc doesn't work as expected or hoses up a system simply restore your previous version.

Discussing errors / defects found is good --that's what these things should be about - especially if people have ways to fix them --but for unsolvable problems --either restore or wait till a fix or another release is available --no point going on about "non bootable machines" etc if you've no backup. !!!!

Cheers

Yeah, I probably didn't wait long enough but the second time it did update properly with a counter showing the progress of the update, so must be a bug that the progress gets not shown.

I agree we might be testers with this preview, but on the other side it can not be worse as the current version
