No *, There is another major update called creator update coming out soon and then redstone 3 later this year, creator update is suppose to be released thru April by some sort of queuing method..

* some have said that the M$ driver stack update made there computer a virtual paperweight though.

 

Well I redid my image and saved it. It has run fine so far without any glitches for my Windows 10x64 Pro O/S.

 

I observed some in w10 after updating to latest version. For me, it downloaded almost 500 megs, maybe because I always use offline install of updates. Some minor things weren't working like Send/files through BT and stuffs like that. I fixed it using Component cleanup method via DISM to get rid of older updates and things are working fine.

 

Microsoft issues an Emergency Patch

Windows 10 KB4015438 fixes crashes and hangs

By Martin Brinkmann on March 21, 2017 in Windows - Last Update:March 21, 2017 5

The new cumulative update for Windows 10 version 1607 (Anniversary Update) KB4015438 patches two issues introduced by last week's Patch Day.

This raises the version of the Anniversary Update version of Windows 10 to 14393.969.

The KB4015438 update seems to fix two issues introduced last week that affected some users of the operating system after devices were updated with last week's security updates.

The first issue caused programs that use Microsoft MPEG-2 handling libraries to crash (e.g. Windows DVD Player). The second issue listed by Microsoft affected customers with Switch Embedded Teaming (SET) enabled who "might experience a deadlock" according to Microsoft.

KB4015438 is already available through Windows Update. You can run a manual check for the update by going to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

If you prefer to download the update manually, point your web browser to Microsoft's Update Catalog. There you find the cumulative update listed for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.

The 64-bit versions of the update have a size of about 1 Gigabyte, the 32-bit version about 560 Megabyte.

M$ Emergency Update KB4015438 Installed and No crashes.
