Windows 10 Redstone 4

After few more BSODs and consequent self-repairs, it seems to have installed on the tablet.

 

This Month’s Third Cumulative Updates for Windows 10 1803, 1709 & 1703 Go Live Today – Bring Several Fixes

Here’s what fixed in Windows 10 April 2018 Update KB4340917 (Build 17134.191)

• 
  
  
  • Addresses an issue that causes devices within Active Directory or Hybrid AADJ++ domains to unexpectedly unenroll from Microsoft Intune or third-party MDM services after installing provisioning package updates (PPKG). This issue occurs on devices that are subject to the Auto MDM Enrollment with AAD Token Group Policy. If you ran the script Disable-AutoEnrollMDMCSE.PS1 as a workaround for this issue, run Enable-AutoEnrollMDMCSE.PS1 from a PowerShell window in Administrator mode after installing this update.
  • Addresses additional issues with updated time zone information.
  • Improves the ability of the Universal CRT Ctype family of functions to handle EOF as valid input.
  • Addresses an issue with registration in the “Push to Install” service.
  • Addresses an issue with Roaming User Profiles where the AppData\Local and AppData\Locallow folders are incorrectly synchronized at user logon and logoff. For more information, see KB4340390.
  • Addresses issues related to peripherals that use Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for Bluetooth connections.
  • Addresses an issue that causes SQL Server memory usage to grow over time when encrypting data using a symmetric key that has a certificate. Then, you execute queries that open and close the symmetric key in a recursive loop.
  • Addresses an issue where using an invalid password in a wireless PEAP environment that has SSO enabled submits two authentication requests with the invalid password. The excess authentication request may cause premature account lockouts in environments with low account lockout thresholds. To enable the changes, add the new registry key DisableAuthRetry (Dword) on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\PPP\EAP\26using regedit, and set it to 1.
  • Addresses an issue that prevents OpenType fonts from printing in Win32 applications.
  • Addresses an issue with DNS Response Rate Limiting that causes a memory leak when enabled with LogOnly mode.
  • Addresses an issue in a RemoteApp session that may result in a black screen when maximizing an app window on a secondary monitor.
  • Addresses an issue in IME that causes unexpected finalization of strings during Japanese input in applications such as Microsoft Outlook.

Yet another massive mess of Windows patches
Posted on July 24th, 2018 at 14:04 woody Comment on the AskWoody Lounge
Microsoft just released dozens of new patches — some dated July 23 in the Update Catalog, some dated July 24, some dated July 20.

Wotta mess.

All supported versions of Windows 10 got new patches, which are dated July 24 in the KB articles, but at this moment they’re still dated July 20 in the Update Catalog. Not clear if the patches in the Catalog are the same as the ones described in the KB articles.

The Win10 patches still have the “known issue”:

After you install any of the July 2018 .NET Framework Security Updates, a COM component fails to load because of “access denied,” “class not registered,” or “internal failure occurred for unknown reasons” errors. The most common failure signature is the following:

Exception type: System.UnauthorizedAccessException

Message: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

Many of the patches are Intel microcode updates, likely for Spectre 2. The MS Support page dedicated to such fixes hasn’t been changed since July 19. All of those patches, as best I can tell, are manual-install only.

The Monthly Rollup Previews for both Win7/Server 2008 R2 and Win8.1/Server 2012 R2 were re-issued today. I don’t see any documentation about the re-issue, anywhere.

Only a fool would tread in these waters. DON’T PATCH.

Microsoft Looking into Monetizing Its Broken Windows 10 Update System with a Paid Desktop-as-a-Service Plan
@Phoenix finally a soultion you could live with? Want it bad?

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/windows-10.762434/page-518#post-10772194

 

I always wanted this (part of). MSFT should say which components were used as a test base to determine the update is successful.
They must certify/qualify which low/mid-range/high end/HEDT/Server parts which cover CPU used,HDD/SSD/RAM and other variables as test measure.

 

Surface firmware updates show that Microsoft does not get updating right

 

Thanks for that. I take back what i said. Microsoft designed hardware and software doesn't agree with them. Plan dropped.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update 4 months on: Has it improved?
apparently not - at least not yet

 

Did anyone resolve the wifi problem with 1803 before? It's the one where you don't automatically connect with the wifi network. I think someone mentioned it here before, but I never saw a solution.

I did a quick Google search, and one person had to disable Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter that was a hidden device in their device manager. I was wondering if you had the same solution.

 

still happens on and off randomly. it has a mind of its own. I enabled the WLAN Auto Config Service and also the WWAN but no luck. This is the worst build of Windows. Can't wait till the next surprise in Redstone 5

 

I see, yeah... it's been happening with me recently. Microsoft, sheesh.

 

That WiFi virtual adapter is for mobile hotspot and has nothing to do with WiFi not connecting automatically on startup.
Revert to stock OOSP settings. Phoenix did that and everything was working.

 

It was happening to me too back in may I think when I got my laptop, it just refused to connect on it's own most of the time. but not long after it sorted itself out, I think there was a windows update at that time so it may have had something to do with it. since than it was fine except a few days ago when I booted my laptop so I manually connected.

NEWS ANALYSIS
Patch Tuesday’s coming: Block Windows Update and pray we don’t get fooled again
On the heels of arguably the worst Windows patching month in recent memory, another Patch Tuesday is approaching. Make sure Automatic Update is turned off so you can dodge the initial batch of bugs.

-------------------------------------------

Microsoft Windows Security Updates August 2018 release overview-ghacks.net

Direct update downloads.
Windows 10 version 1803 (build number 17134.228)KB4343909

ADV180020 -- August 2018 Adobe Flash Security Update

-------------------------------------------

Here is what is being fixed today for Windows 10 version 1803 (build number 17134.228):

• 
  
  
  • Provides protections against a new speculative execution side-channel vulnerability known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) that affects Intel® Core® processors and Intel® Xeon® processors (CVE-2018-3620 and CVE-2018-3646). Make sure previous OS protections against Spectre Variant 2 and Meltdown vulnerabilities are enabled using the registry settings outlined in the Windows Client and Windows Server guidance KB articles. (These registry settings are enabled by default for Windows Client OS editions, but disabled by default for Windows Server OS editions.)
  • Addresses an issue that causes high CPU usage that results in performance degradation on some systems with Family 15h and 16h AMD processors. This issue occurs after installing the June 2018 or July 2018 Windows updates from Microsoft and the AMD microcode updates that address Spectre Variant 2 (CVE-2017-5715 – Branch Target Injection).
  • Addresses an issue that prevents apps from receiving mesh updates after resuming. This issue occurs for apps that use Spatial Mapping mesh data and participate in the Sleep or Resume cycle.
  • Ensures that Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge support the preload=”none” tag.
  • Addresses an issue that prevents some applications running on HoloLens, such as Remote Assistance, from authenticating after upgrading from Windows 10, version 1607, to Windows 10, version 1803.
  • Addresses an issue that significantly reduced battery life after upgrading to Windows 10, version 1803.
  • Addresses an issue that causes Device Guard to block some ieframe.dll class IDs after installing the May 2018 Cumulative Update.
  • Addresses a vulnerability related to the Export-Modulemember() function when used with a wildcard (*) and a dot-sourcing script. After installing this update, existing modules on devices that have Device Guard enabled will intentionally fail. The exception error is “This module uses the dot-source operator while exporting functions using wildcard characters, and this is disallowed when the system is under application verification enforcement.” For more information, see https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2018-8200 and https://aka.ms/PSModuleFunctionExport.
  • Addresses an issue that was introduced in the July 2018 .NET Framework update. Applications that rely on COM components were failing to load or run correctly because of “access denied,” “class not registered,” or “internal failure occurred for unknown reasons” errors.
  • Security updates to Windows Server.

 

Waiting for Phoenix's green signal.

NEWS ANALYSIS
Patch Tuesday fallout: Bad docs, but so far no major problems
In spite of an enormous number of erroneous “known issues” warnings, this month’s crop of Windows and Office patches seems to fix most of the bugs in last month’s patches. It’s still too early to tell for sure, but we may be looking at a decent round of patches.

"Color me cautiously optimistic — a hue I haven’t worn in many a moon. As long as you don’t use IE or Edge, avoid Flash, and keep your brain connected to your clicking finger, you should be OK while we wait to see if there are any nasty surprises"

FYI. Cpu bench scores... No changes.

 

Latest Intel microcode updates for Win10 version 1803 (dated August 20, but released TODAY)

Windows Cumulative Update for Windows 10 31-Aug KB4346783
Download = http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._145555faf4e3e494c20f22508f9c28fe12af387a.msu

KB4346783 includes quality improvements only according to Microsoft. The update does not introduce new features or security updates.

Note: The update has one known issue that may cause Microsoft Edge to fail to load when Application Guard Window is enabled. Microsoft suggests that users remove KB4343909, install KB4340917, and re-install KB4343909 to resolve the issue.

• Fixed flickering issue in Microsoft Foundation Class applications.
• Addressed a reliability issue in applications with extensive window nesting.
• Touch and mouse events were handled different in Windows Presentation Foundation applications with transparent overlay windows.
• Fixed several issues with Universal CRT.
• Fixed client authentication issues with Edge and other UWP on TMP 2.0 devices.
• Fixed "Access Denied" issue in computer certificate enrollment or renewal after installing the April 2018 update.
• Fixed data decryption from memory issue after certain CAPI decryption operations complete.
• Addressed a Device Guard issue that prevented PackageInspector.exe from including all files required for an application to run.
• Fixed network printer connectivity issue after user sign-in.
• Fixed printing on 64-bit versions of Windows when 32-bit applications "impersonate other users". Fix is to either go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print in the Registry and set Splwow64Compat to 1, or to use the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit to enable Splwow64Compat App Compat Shim globally.
• Fixed a Wi-Fi EAP-TTLS (CHAP) authentication issue.
• Addressed stop code error 0xD1 DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on devices that have 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) enabled.
• Addresses an issue that may remove a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) option from a reservation after changing the DHCP scope settings.
• Key Management Service (KMS) extended to support the upcoming Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC and Windows Server editions. Further information see KB4347075.

 

Your Msibook still works normal after this update? And you haven't discovered any Mickey from M$ Morons?

 

@Mr. Fox @Papusan

Did you notice this new sneaky nazi service?

 

When will you start read my posts? I even gave you and others <how to> deal with it.

 

Yes, among a host of other digital feces that must also be destroyed.

 

I've forgotten how NSudo works, and in this case, I'm also wondering if you have a select list of services that we need to disable from the recent update.

 

That's old news brother, there are 4-5 more services added for Auto Update Modes on v1803 which wasn't there in Insider ISOs. I even suggested them to remove it but they added few more to enable the disabled services. So, I know which services are dependent on each other if you have my ISO but then again I need those loopholes to disable some services so I won't post them because Web crawlers from Google/Bing will find it and disable that loophole(s) so I will use Win update blockers with Trusted installer privilege to truly disable WU.
I will give a hint, you can search in services.msc for these keywords Sys Runtime Broker and Guard and few other services with great description to update Win 10.

 

See post from Brother @Vasudev above. Best not to mention them by name. As a general rule, I disable all Micro$lop services that are not essential to the OS, networking functionality, etc.

Use NSudo to launch Services.msc with Trusted Installer and Enable all permissions options selected. Even with those permissions there are some worthless crap services relating to data syncing that cannot be disabled. You get an "invalid parameter" error if you try. We don't want to see more services treated that way by the Digi-Nazi brigade.

The best approach is to do a clean install of 1607 or 1709, activate by phone and lock it down to block any changes before connecting to the internet. I just did that last night to my new Samsung turdbook. I used it with 1803 since I purchased it on 8/30 and that was more than long enough. It had the Home version of 1803, so that was even more pitiful. Now it is running 1709 Pro with no updates allowed.

 

How does W10 even work for you since you disabled everything even Macrium Reflect services. Hahaa. I ought to try it.
Found a new workaround to close UWP apps fully. Press Win key + Tab and Press Close button to close fully like OS X and Phone OS (iOS,Android).
EDIT: I also use Home edition with Group Policy integrated thanks to Policy Plus and disable Windows update completely.

 

More services will be added. A never ending stopping Bloat story. As you all know... Same up again 2 times a year http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...xes-index-post-1.779394/page-74#post-10789638

 

A whole lot better than without all of the worthless filth disabled, but still inferior to Windows 7.

That is why I activate by phone and lock everything down completely before allowing it to connect to the internet. Otherwise, it will immediately begin to start acquiring Micro$loth's digital STDs. It needs to remain static to avoid acquiring venereal diseases.

 

You see,s that's not possible for me. Simply because MSI decided to make Nahimic which was previously an EXE installer a Windows Storage Garbage app so if I don't enable Windows update I can't install Nahimic, thus, the sound on my taptop would sound like it's coming from a small little crappy phone without Nahimic.

 

@Mr. Fox

Never buy a game from Micro$h4ft! I used to always tell you that, now I did it because I love Age of Empires so much...and here's what I get, this issues has been going on for a week and is all over the Microsoft forums...

 

Yup... Run O&O Shutup and enable everything. Reboot, update all apps, install all available cancer updates and try again. I had to do that before I could download Gears of War 4. It sucks, but you cannot tweak anything if you want to run worthless scumbag filth trash UWP feces games. Just not worth it to have the OS running in cancer mode. If you lock the OS down after successfully installing it, it will be broken the next time you want to play it.

You may also have to sign in with XBOX after doing all the above. They need to get their hooks into you before they let you play their garbage games.

 

Almost like Alienware's CEO Azor have helped MSI's software engineers with <how to cripple their products further>... Maybe a Thanks Back due Msi helped Alienware with how to implement "Battery Turbo Boost" in firmware early 2015?

 

1) The issue was there before I even run O&O ShutUp10, it's all over the Microsoft forums bro if you Google that error code. Micro$h4ft can't get their stuff together. too busy wih telemetry

2) I am already signed in with my Microsoft/Xbox account that's the only way to view my purchased junk from them

 

Well, then I am not sure there is a fix. The bottom line is Micro$lop UWP games are absolutely worthless garbage and nobody should spend any money on them. Ever. I love Gears of War 4, but not nearly enough to tolerate the digital cooties required to install or play it. Besides that, supporting Micro$loth UWP filth for games is like funding digital terrorism or giving money to the Church of Satan. UWP needs to die... especially UWP gaming. The Redmond Retards will do everything within their power to destroy PC gaming with that feces.

 

funding the church of satan is actually better than buying uwp games

 

I think the impact of doing so might not be as serious for the rest of the world. UWP filth ruins things for everyone, regardless of what they believe (or not) about the supernatural realm, LOL. It's just nasty. But, the loose connection with evil is hard to ignore.

 

Lock down WU and try Reset/Repair app data instead of updating to new version. If old version works for you stick with it. You can't revert to old builds of UWP apps.
EDIT: Try Pop OS in Live mode and play some music using video app or vlc to see max volume.

 

Maybe a sign that it's a good time to move on to the Total War Series, Rome, Rome II, Attilla .

 

Yup, Micro$lop Windoze 10 UWP game trash needs to be boycotted so it (hopefully) fails. Only then will they recognize that the time has come for their stupidity and dishonest scumbag approach to doing business needs to end. Let's give them a five-finger death punch right in the wallet.

Whatever genre a person likes is perfectly fine, as long as it is not UWP filth. I pretty much play exclusively first-person shooter games. Once in a while a like a third-person shooter (i.e. Max Payne). But, I do not care much for RPG, MMORPG, strategy or puzzle games.

 

September 11 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Redstone 4 = KB4457128

Update for Windows 10 Redstone 4 = KB4456655

Adobe Flash Player Update for Windows 10 Redstone 4= KB4457146

 

What does the changelog really mean?

I never saw update for Windows Linux. Looks like Win 10 is merging proprietary kernel with Linux or its their linux Subsystem.
If its the former I'm happy to ditch Win 10 and focus on Linux.
Any issues occur after upgrade?

 

New is always better, bruh Always!

September Windows/Office security patches
Posted on September 11th, 2018 at 12:29 woody Comment on the AskWoody Lounge
Martin Brinkmann has his usual comprehensive (and fast!) list on ghacks.net. Summary:


I see 127 individual patches in the Microsoft Update Catalog.

47 entries in the Security Updates Summary.

Office 365 has a new Click to Run version. For those of you with installed (“MSI”) versions of Office, there’s a long list of new patches which includes 2010, 2013, 2016, Office viewers and Share Point Servers. (Thx @PKCano.)

Official Release notes include two new advisories.

There’s a servicing stack update for Win10 1803. If you install updates through Windows Update, that doesn’t matter — but if you are manually downloading and installing 1803 updates, be sure to snag KB 4456655 first.

MS-DEFCON 2: Time to make sure Windows Automatic Update’s turned off
Posted on September 10th, 2018 at 07:29 woody Comment on the AskWoody Lounge

Computerworld Woody on Windows.

 

They retarded monkeys from Redmond clearly don't have a stinking clue what they are doing. There are not enough hours in a day to keep up fixes with their messes, so I don't. Woody is right... disable Windows Updates.

 

Really dumb question - if you disable Windows Updates, what do you do about security patches? Or, are these patches just drummed up crap designed to instill fear in an otherwise naive public? My current turdbook is a Microshaft whore. Leaving those Windows Update legs open. When I eventually get my real machine, I really don't want to end up with a box better suited for a Level 5 containment facility.

 

Everything is well explained in the posts above + previous posts in the thread. "Manually downloading and installing (1803) updates from Microsoft Update Catalog".

Standalone updates (direct download links) are usually posted in the thread. Click on the links posted above. If you have older Win 10 OS Versions than the latest "RS4"... Standalone update links is in the websites we usually post.

 

You really like to make us noobies earn our stripes.



You can shut off new feature updates, but are still compelled to have to update the security fixes in a limited deferral period (30 days). The other piece of the puzzle is that the security updates will be discontinued by MS on older builds- forces the enduser to update.

 

I don't use it exactly this way. Read also Computerworld Woody on Windows.

"Microsoft has vowed that it will stop dishing out security patches for Win10 1703 next month — although it isn’t clear if the flow will stop with the first (buggy?) round of cumulative updates, or if the bugs will be bad enough that Microsoft will be shamed into releasing a second or third round of 1703 cumulative updates in October".

Those of us who are still using 1703 will have to decide next month whether we’re going to jump to 1709, 1803, or maybe even 1809. But that’s a decision for another day

 

I actually had this info in my RSS feed:

https://www.computerworld.com/artic...s/windows-10-a-guide-to-the-updates.html#jump

https://www.computerworld.com/artic...etirement-calendar-mark-these-dates.html#jump

 

This is my personal opinion. The best course of action is to block them and do nothing. Have Windows the way you want it, not the way they want it for you. Lock it down and keep it static is how I roll.

Yes. This is my personal opinion. How else can these diabolical imbeciles drum up support for an OS that is such a piece of filthy garbage than to try and make everyone scared to not use it, and not keep it updated? The PC tech industry (and now smartphones) thrives financially based almost entirely on the amount of fear they are able to create that, in turn, helps to sells their software products... especially those peddling security software. Is there a danger? Of course. There are real bandits and bastards out there, and malware is real. But, everything we do in life is dangerous. Not as dangerous as the people that stand to profit by protecting us from our greatest fears (and fostering those fears) would have us believe.

In the infamously misquoted words of Alfonso Bedoya...
