why you keep try it?
microsoft won’t ever give to us the windows 10 we want
I personally lost my hope in windows 10
so windows 7 is forever and is all microsoft fault
I’m done to be a guinea pig for microsoft
since they don’t even care to fix windows 10 problems

Seeker here…

I run a Dell Win 10 home PC with 1803 (obtained via Win Update on April 30th).

All things appeared to be ok until I recently noticed the messages,  “Some Settings are Managed by your Organization” sprinkled among many of the settings. I own the computer. The computer is not part of any organization.

Specifically I see this message in the privacy, location, and feedback settings. I also saw it appear in Windows Update when I installed the updates on Patch Tuesday (May 8th).

I saw one tiny post in a MS forum that stated this is a known bug with 1803. It has grayed out certain features like “location services.” Thus, I no longer see the location icon on my system tray. Windows update appears to work, but I have to manually check it to look for updates.

Google searches reveal reasonable fixes if you are using Win 10 Pro, but if you are on Win 10 home, the only fixes appear to be Registry fixes, and as a non-techie, I would not even go there.

I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing this issue with “Some settings are managed by your organization.” Especially if they are Win 10 home users.

Again, the computer seems functional. I don’t think it is a show-stopper, but I hope the people at MS know about this issue and can provide a fix in a future Windows update?

I have a 2 year old HP Latitude laptop that came with Win 10 Home.

Although it is an i3 with 8GB of RAM and lots of disk space, the laptop has always struggled with Win10 updates and I have used a metered connection to try and control the updates!

Yesterday, I sat down to update from v1709 to v1803. I tried to use the laptop during the updates but it was just too slow.

So, I left it, kept an eye on it and recorded its status every so often. v1803 downloaded and failed to install 3 times and was successful on the fourth. I have a 12-14Mb/s download speed. Overall, Win10 took a shade under 12 hours to complete the update and left me with several thousand errors and warnings (over 24hrs) in Event Viewer. Finally, it told me that v1803 had been installed and offered to turn on Cortana etc (which I declined).

Just as I thought that all was “well”… a warning popped up: the Intel Widi app was not compatible with v1803 and had been disabled. The warning offered me a “Read More” button so I clicked on it… and was presented with a page on the Intel Widi app – in German.

The laptop is set to English and has never left the UK….

Ten minutes after that, EV recorded that the Intel Widi Updater app had stopped because it could not find the resource!

I struggle with Windows 10…
