Cumulative Update KB4016240 Windows 10 v1703 Build 15063.250
-
Since this update, my Surface 3 (Non-Pro) even though I have set my login in netplwiz to NOT require a password, if the Surface goes to sleep when it wakes I have to login with a password. Hope this gets fixed soon. No problem at boot but if that screen goes off, password time!

Has this update been rolled out to everyone? It's not available through Windows Update for me yet. I am on build 1703.
I'm still on 1607 waiting for my old Dell Desktop and a brand new Lenovo laptop to see 1703 coming through. Only my wife's Surface Pro 4 got it through Windows update. All PCs are running Win 10 Pro x64. I don't quite understand the criteria by which the 1703 rollout is "staggered".

This occurred in a much earlier update for me, but what fixed it was disabling the lock screen by adding the following key to the registry:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization
The Personalization key did not exist, so I created it.
2. Under the Personalization key create a new DWORD value named NoLockScreen and set value to 1.
3. Didn't have to restart. Unfortunately, this does disable the lock screen entirely, but at least I don't keep getting a password prompt.

Great info to have on hand! Thank you, I'll store it as a text file for possible later use 
I did a reset to the Surface, as it was the only Windows install that displayed this condition. Problem solved and it seems to be working much better in several other aspects as well. So now it's a fresh install of 1703.

My message center icon is GONE!

Still on 15063.138... I have not recieved this update on Windows Update. I will wait until tuesday next week to see if I get a new cumulative update for May. I hope that nothing is wrong with my Windows upgrade. I can see that it auto checks for updates each day with a green check mark on the icon, so I guess it's OK?

@Faith, Are you on a metered connection? If you are, you may not get it via Windows Update. This is a non-security update, and it is my understanding that only critical and system stability updates will come on a metered connection. You can manually get the KB, if desired. See post #1.

Naw, I have unlimited data. It's 100 Mbit fiber connection through ethernet, unless Windows thinks that I'm on a metered one. How can I check that? But I rather wait a week for those May updates to come along, if I don't get them through Windows update then I need to check a few things out manually. Could it have something to do with how the updates are being pushed out per region or country?
