And with every month ‘s updates they’re likely to slip something new into the mix so that if you go check your privacy settings, which had previously all been set to “OFF” you sometimes find  that there are suddenly things “ON”.

This month it was Paint 3D…Oh, look at that! It  gave it’s self default permission to talk to Mama!.

Heaven help you  if you forget to check for 2 or 3 months.

I have absolutely no faith at all that the master switch at the top of each column actually works, when if you turn it on, many of the previously set OFF items below are now mysteriously ON

 

Thanks, I suppose I should run through my event viewer and see if it caught anything but when I woke up this morning the yellow caution was gone from the network icon in the taskbar.

I guess as long as they don’t make a habit of it… Not that I’d rather have a benign problem replaced with a real one, you understand.

Never a dull moment in Windowville 🙂

 

I’ve got it. Activity History is there
This Windows is the original 1809 (I got lucky in my hurried stupidity)
After todays (or maybe yesterday’s) updates I now have a network taskbar icon that says I’m not connected to the internet (I’m scratching my head,) Obviously I have internet

I’ll toss in a screenshot of that too 🙂
All my network properties look normal….very strange

Like several of us here, when I was born, dirt was clean.

I can’t say I was an early Lotus adopter, but I did know Mitch at Yale through their radio station, WYBC-FM when he was Music, then Program Director.

Mitch was the guy who occupied the inner office and made the big decisions, even then.

I later became Chief Engineer but by then Mitch was gone…on to bigger and better….

I happened into a job in ’98 at a transportation lighting company on the East Coast whose owner was married at the hip to Lotus. Amtrak was our best customer and had been for decades. He only gave up using Smart Suite when other companies started begging him to send them files they could open. (apparently Amtrak still could)

Hi Geek,

Although I don’t keep much there I Do actually have a “Location” tab where you don’t.

One thing I just noticed is that “Windows.old” has absolutely no personal info in it. My User/Kevin/docs/Pictures and Music all carried over, and it left my actual document folder alone (which is on a 500gig spinner as “D: Documents”) but that Windows.Old folder seems pretty useless. Also there are no non-MS applications left in “Windows.old/Program Files(86)”

Here’s my update to 1809 experience – Yup, I asked for it 🙁   –

 

Last night all seemed well, glad I went right to bed because if I’d checked further I might not  have slept as well….

About an hour ago my 2 monitors ((Nvidia  Gforce 210) went into pastel pixel mania in a totally artistic form, some 4″ squares, a couple 4×6″ rectangles then some fancy triangles until the whole screen was filled with pastel pixels (each color was maybe 5 sq pixels or so) then black/colorpixel/black…. both monitors but not simultaneous – 1 then the other then back then forth, glad I don’t have epilepsy.

Then it totally recovered as if nothing ever happened.

I then noticed a couple notifications which, to be honest, had probably been there since last night.

1) Windows uninstalled CCCleaner during upgrade

2) Windows uninstalled the remainder of my Lifecam 5000 software (mostly, it’s still using VPUGraph.dll in PFiles(86)

CCCleaner is also completely gone from Pfiles and Pdata

I can still print and scan, Whoopee!

Did I have “Dark” mode in explorer before? That seems new, I like it

That’s it for now

Well darn…it was a Tuesday so I thought “let’s see what’s shakin’ ”

Sure ‘nuf, here comes 1809, fortunately it’s my gaming machine…and when I say “gaming” I’m talking  Bejeweled 2. It’s an old 64 bit Dell with an Asus MB running a Core2 Quad.

It hasn’t crashed yet, of course, it hasn’t restarted either.

I can watch it from here, if it goes into a seizure I’ll get back to you, if it blows up I imagine there’ll be pictures at 11:00

Hmmmm  42%   installed and in no hurry, this is a big one

I’ll get back after the restart and I check out the peripherals/scanner/cam/printer etc.

Hi, I had gone out and manually procured 469 for both my win 10 1803 64bit home machines a couple days ago, tonight they both took it again when I searched. However (and it might be a big however) they both went straight to  “downloading  -91%” stayed like that for about 5 minutes then zipped up to 99-100% and played “Pending install” for another 2 or 3  minutes then both demanded a restart which wasn’t much slower than a normal boot.

I guess my point is, it didn’t seem to put a whole lot more into my systems this time around. Like maybe they just forgot a little something the first time around.

I’ll stay tuned for other folks’ experiences

Thanks
Kevin G

 
Oh, One is a 3 gig core2duo and the other is a Dell with a 2.2gig core2quad both have Asus MBs

I don’t know where you got that info but I am not a paid subscriber and I think I found out about this as fast as the rest of you.

I just found the spam in my “junk mail folder” where Outlook had sent it. Between Gmail and Outlook I hardly ever see spam anymore but thanks for the heads up and keep up the good work
