Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"
The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.

Do you people really have nothing better to do? Is shitting on Microsoft THAT good?
P.S.
MacBooks didn't have problems with upgrades? Almost funny...
I find it funny every time i leave the computer untouched Microsoft-photos try's to connect to some were and permanently blocking it stops you from using photos working correctly.
As for Apple i will never buy one of their products as are worse, Apple are just plain bully's.
This means people will have stuff broken that was not broken before, settings realigned (because it is a new install), OS unoptimized when users did have them optimized. Programs may or may not continue to work.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, they send out patches like happened last month to fix some issues, and caused USB connections to disappear. If you were lucky it was a printer, or a mouse. For some it was the keyboard. That makes for an interesting attempt to roll back a patch when the keyboard doesn’t work.
So yeah, MS continues to botch the permanent rolling OS, with users as testers. Honestly, I for one like MS. I wish I didn’t have to complain about this ineptitude in providing constant change that doesn’t have to constantly change.
But ok, losing settings? Since when? Users optimising OS? How. exactly, can you "optimise" it? Disabling services and turning off visual effects does not count and those tend to stay set as before after upgrades, IIRC.
There would be bugs even if they released each three years, yet even on 6 month schedules majority of users have none. There are hundreds of millions of computers running W10, the issues are not that widespread and never have been.
What it usually drills down to is bad drivers or apps, much rarer the Windows itself. People really love to pin the first ones on MS, while it isn't their fault (usually)...
I will give you the one about the upgrades being reinstalls in practice. While they have made them less painful (more improvements coming with Spring Creators Update, too), there is room for improvement. Ah, and the apps are not coming back now after being uninstalled.
P.S.
Not sure what this has to do with monthly patches. Everybody suffers stupid bugs, Microsoft is usually good at fixing them, though. And nothing on market beats 10 year OS support, except some Linux LTS distros.
Full will collect browser data, app data and usage inking and typing data.
And as for basic it don't really say if one or more of those are done, Seems to me they are trying to give the illusion that Basic does none of the other Full option does were really it says sweet F all and is what ever MS seems necessary which could be frigging any thing.
Windows 10 Diagnostic Data
EDIT: which they have already done in the passed.
All is forgiven for this good laugh!
Three cheers forhuzzah!suckers is the key word here. So many people believe that m$ is only collecting performance data.
Please...
So, no conspiracy theory.Some like moldy cheese too :).
trim off the mold and underneeth there is good cheese" :):rolleyes:
Being the White Knight here isnt exactly a bad thing. However, I have an opposite opinion of m$ and win 10, along with a few others, so that makes us all conspiratists? I could go into a long diatribe on this, but its not worth my time.
As far as the Linux mention...yes I know I've used it for many years. It's great for the limited apps Linux can use. But an OS that can't run 98% of games isn't much of an option for me. I've dual-booted them before though using Linux for web browsing and some minor productivity things, then booting back to Windows for games. I bounce between games and apps so often though that I ended up going back to just Windows though. Maybe someday WINE will reach the point of actually being able to run Windows apps and games well.
After the forced Fall Creator's update that happened over night and everything broke. I re-installed Windows 10 and made sure it was fully updated before starting things over. Now that Windows 10 is on version 1709 my Windows 7 cannot path to the Windows 10 without a username and password. Okay fine, easily fixed on Win 7 (created passwords for the users and netplwiz to allow the main account we use to log into Windows without a password). However, every single time I restart my Win 7 computer I have to enter a username/password (because the "save credentials" check box doesn't do anything) to path to the HTPC. I can't find a workaround for fixing this issue - granted it's a minor irritant, but if I'm not home and the wife or kids want to watch a movie from the HTPC after turning on the Win 7 computer they cannot connect to it. I'm not giving them my admin account password, so they're SOL until I enter it.
I think you need one of these hats.
Well, i can't argue with that kind of... logic.
