Wait and see, give it a chance, if all is working as intended.
Should you run into problems, report back here.
Historically, on win7 for instance, I’d only use oem device drivers, and still do.
W10 device drivers should have improved over the years but can’t guarantee it.

With personal files being overwritten due to an inplace feature upgrade to 1809 put me right off W10. The framework of W10 patching leaves a lot to be desired and is nothing short of a Total Inability To Sustain Update Patches with patch fixes for patches.

The July 2019 Security Only patches with telemetry baked in for W7 and W8.1 has now put Group B patching in amoungst Group A !! /facepalm

I’m finding patching a ch/bore nowadays, when years gone by I could rely on a single patch fixing something that was broken in order to use a program/utility or game. With these 500mb rollups, it’s a lottery..

No problems here with WD definitions via WU (two W8.1 devices checked)
Both have SSU KB4504418 as well as July SMQR KB4507448 (Group A) installed.

also might help if we knew which version of W10 are you referring to? Is it x86 or x64 / Pro or Home?

The servicing stack is/ will be required irrespective of reluctant thoughts. It would do no harm whatsoever to install the SSU but, I don’t think that’s the problem.

Download the full Windows Defender def update from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/definitions
(x64 or x86 as per your system)

This has sorted issues I’ve encountered in the past with this kind of problem.

I only use the desktop right click tweak below to update without invoking the full WU.
Here is the registry tweak that I use for quick access/updating of WD

Do you have the recent SHA2 and Service Stack Update (SSU) patches installed?

FWIW, I have been using Privazer for a few years on Win7/8.1 and it never misses a beat.
I run it offline after using sensitive websites, docs etc..usually once a week.
The Portable Download Version works a treat and has SO much more within. This also has a facility (choice of 3 methods of cleaning prior to running) to wipe freespace on the system but have not used it on our SSD’s for obvious reasons. Should be good for hard-drives!

As a precaution, I also have a firewall ruleset on the portable program 😉

Note: I use the the manual cleanup method and I ensure that the registry cleaning option is UNTICKED and the ‘do not clean registry’ box is TICKED as we all know what regcleaners can potentially do..

TIP:
Invoking a manual TRIM (on SSD’s) afterwards boosts the OS responsiveness really well.
(I have no affiliation with privazer etc.. other than being a long-time satisfied user)

A tactical setup for ’14 eyes’ as a means of quicker data collection, profiling?

Guenni over at borncity reports :

A brief warning for administrators using Windows Server 2012 to deploy via SCCM. The June 2019 update KB4503276 causes trouble because it prevents PXE booting (WDS). Microsoft has now confirmed the problem…

@sueska Thanks for bringing that up, it’s been an unreachable itch for a while.

Abbodi, I’m curious..and perhaps using an old apple slogan ‘think different’
Is there anything to gain/lose by flipped patching..no SMQR (Group A) on patch tuesday, just dotnet/flash etc.. then install the preview a week later on W8.1.? Theoretically, the patch tuesday SMQR should have burning issues fixed in the preview as well as introductory fixes. Pros and cons going in this direction?

I did encounter a double restart for KB4507448 but don’t do previews unless they fix something that’s busted from patch tuesday’s offerings that affect our systems.

more info on this preview:

Abbodii86: have you checked for/noticed any changes in the task scheduler after installing the preview?

I fitted/swapped out our whole house with LED bulbs, lamps, fridge, cookerhood, downlighters etc..I went on an OCD mission at the time to nuke the candescant’s as they were being phased out. Price paid was savings after a couple of years relative to electric used..still continued
sod’s law they start failing now that I’ve posted..
