Microsoft Unveils Windows 10 October 2018 Update

Microsoft at its IFA Berlin briefing named its next major update to Windows 10, dubbed October 2018 Update, bound for the date of its namesake. Technically Windows 10 version 1809, the operating system will introduce a few user-interface improvements such as Dark Mode, and a cloud-linked clipboard that lets you copy things between your various Windows devices linked to the same Microsoft account. Microsoft will also introduce improvements to Game Mode and add functionality to Game Bar, including some hardware monitoring features. This would also present Redmond with the opportunity to introduce a new version of Edge. Microsoft could sign off the release by late-September, and start distribution sometime in October.

I just purchased a copy of TC4Shell (exploring based archiving).. I get the feeling that might screw up, if this dark mode makes any significant changes to explorer. It's needed performance tweaks in the past. But hopefully it'll be OK.

BasardI wonder how long this bastard will take to install.... I'm sure it will pick the most inconvenient time to do so, of course.....
I had a test build of it install in less than 10 minutes and that's with VirtualBox virtual disk overhead hosted on a system with an SSD.

StrayKATNot an educated opinion, but I'm not convinced it'd be that much better.
Having worked on refurbishing toughbooks, I am. The things they can survive is unreal.

Hmm...

Minimal Spyware* reports only necessary user data to Microsoft**
Normal Spyware* reports additional user data, such as data about installed programs and browsing habits to Microsoft**
Enhanced Spyware* reports maximal user data, up to and including personal hygiene habits to Microsoft**

*User selected settings may or may not be applied. Microsoft reserves the right to control user telemetry settings
**Microsoft reserves the right to share telemetry data with other entities
its all bullshit.. all of it...

One more step in making Windows more like a Mac, where even the stupid can use a computer.

On the plus side, it leaves space open for some small developer to fill. Sometimes Windows adds so many features that outside tools feel a bit unnecessary. For example, Windows Defender. Or even the basic Zip file reader in Explorer.

Remember how, in years past, everyone said it was best not to do a "dirty upgrade" from one OS to another, and instead wipe the drive and install a fresh copy? W10 is basically dirty upgrading itself twice a year... it's no surprise it breaks constantly. It seems like an unforgivably huge oversight in the design...

I tend to do fresh installs myself, but each upgrade replaces the Windows folder.. so it's not exactly a "dirty" upgrade.
