Strange update behaviour
I have two PC's, my wife's and my own, both upgraded on line from 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. The only difference is that my wife's PC is 32-bit and mine is 64-bit. Yesterday, my wife called me to say that something strange happened when she booted her PC and that it was now displaying a 'funny' screen. I went to see what was happening and found an Insider-like screen indicating that an update was under way. I left it to continue, went back an hour later and the PC had gone to sleep. When I woke it, the blue Windows logo appeared with the rotating circle of dots underneath but it didn't seem to move on. After five minutes, I decided to do a manual reboot and all seemed normal except for a notification saying that CCleaner had been removed as it is not compatible with Insider. What? Insider has never been installed on that PC. Winver confirmed that the installed version is OS build 10586.63.
Today, my PC updated to the same version, without any Insider screen and without removal of CCleaner. I guess I will just have to re-install CCleaner on my wife's PC and see what happens.
Is there any logical explanation for this difference in update behaviour?
