Windows 10 Anniversary Update Available August 2

Hi,

Got it... Coming up with a sensible strategy for OneDrive and all these other 'cloud' services is not always straightforward.

True.
Yet if you have a look at how some people work with their puters and One Drive.... Makes me cringe.
Scenarios bound to go haywire... Sigh.

Anywho.... We're way of topic.


Cheers,

has anyone got the anniversary update in canada (vancouver) yet ?

I got it August 2nd .

Any idea on how to get the text on file icons to align to the center as they did in previous builds? I know it's more of a nitpick than a critical issue, but I'm not a fan on the said left-aligned filenames scheme on Explorer.

Well I did 2 machines and it went smooth. I noticed right away that performance was increased noticeably on both machines. Windows 10 is faster and Edge is faster even after setting up ad blocker.

I had to re-install Norton on one of the computers and that seems to be fixed, however another problem has now appeared. During the boot cycle I am getting some noise (screeching noise) from my SoundBlaster through my speakers that last for 2-3 seconds and the goes away.

After multiple re-boots I can finally get the latest version of Firefox to connect to the network.

Well I haven't been following the insider preview but I am a bit underwhelmed at what MS churned out in a year.

At least they appear to have finally fixed SFC and opencl.dll issue.

system restore is still working on mine after the update

Turned off on my three. Funny how this can differ.

Sorry for being a stickler, but MSFT released this in LESS than a year. They started working on this update after the November Update or Version 1511.

Still had not received the AU after 24 hours, so around 8:00pm this evening I used the "Learn More" link in Windows Update. No .iso involved. The update helper just directly downloaded and installed the update on my PC. The only glitch I've run into is that the update uninstalled Classic Shell menu, stating incompatibility. I just grabbed the latest version from their site and it installed and works with no problems. So far so good. Tomorrow I'll do my two laptops.

OK but I am still underwhelmed.
