not good, I just clean installed windows 1809 on uncles pc which is "home" I guess it going right on to "meter" connection. I think my system will stay on 1803 for time being, as I have no interest in redoing it with clean install of anything atm

To stop this crap: gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds > "Allow Telemetry" = Enabled, "0 - Security [Enterprise Only]" "Disable pre-release features or settings" = Disabled Windows Components > Windows Update > Defer Windows Updates > "Select when Feature Updates are reveived" = Enabled, "Current Branch for Business" You can also stop any kind of windows update automation here: taskschd.msc > Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > UpdateOrchestrator Disable anything you dont like the look of.

Blame all the security flaws which have to be patched.

Well, at least I get to keep laughing 😀. I'm at work writing this on a Debian install right now.

/evil laugh posted from my Antergos box from the second job place. the only first job has Win 10, second is on the actual transition to full Linux. We will have a Debian box with VMWare player which will virtualize a defunct XP POS which we can't get rid of, POS billing and database plus serial printer needed. But I am searching with fervor for alternatives.

For that purpose, I think Debian would be fine. Seems like one of those things where you want to just set it up and don't touch it, which Debian stable is ideal for. Also, it seems you're going to have to double-up your search for alternatives because you might not want to be sticking with Antergos either: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Antergos-EOL But I'm sure you can just switch to Arch or Manjaro repos and you'll probably be fine. lol not sure if the XP VM is a POS as in "point of service" or... the other one. Or both.

Debian for stability for a POS point of sale. Antergos closing shop, man this took me by surprise. But I am somehow distro agnostic by now, so thanks for the tip.

From the article that Heavy posted:
To avoid the issue altogether Microsoft suggests that system restore is run using the Windows Recovery Environment and not through the Settings application. Use Windows-I to open the Settings application. Go to Update & Security > Recovery. Select Restart Now under Advanced Settings. When Windows restarts, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > System Restore. Follow the instructions to select a system restore point and restore the system.
This makes this such a none issue. How does one properly access System Restore differently than this? It is just a matter of individuals needing to learn how to properly use the software they are using.

I work on rhel, my personal notebook runs xubuntu and my 2nd boot on desktop for projects runs Fedora. As you can guess from x-ubuntu, I run everything on XFCE4 and lightdm.
Haha well not necessarily. I run XFCE at work, LXQt on my gaming PC, and KDE on my laptop (and no UI on my server). I primarily stick with just Debian and Arch, maybe Ubuntu if I'm dealing with quirky ARM hardware. I use different CPU+GPU combinations between all my devices too, and I try to use a different programs like web browsers and accessories wherever possible. I do all this to keep me on-edge. Can't show much bias or get lost when everything you use is different.

Can't have issues with restorations, if there no restorations to be made.
Amusingly enough that would have Microsoft adopting the same policy I've been using since XP. 🙂 Experience taught me the quickest and most efficient way to fix Windows issues is format -> fresh install. I did try and faff about with restore points and self-repair for a bit but that inevitably fails and end up eating up a lot of time that could have been used for a reinstall. YMMV.

I just checked Control Panel/Programs and Features(not shown) but checking Settings/Windows Updates/View Update History and i have two KB4494441, one installed on the 14th and one on the 15th of May. I also think it's been updated since then because my Version number is now 17763.504 and not .502 or .503 like it says in the article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4494441/windows-10-update-kb4494441 I find it strange that both times kb4494441 installed successfully. I never suffered any issues from it mind you but it's still weird it's listed twice on two different days.

This is far beyond sad at this point. But thank god i didn't booted up Win10 in a year or so.

Windows 10 devices with system protection enabled and a system restore point created prior to the installation of one or more Windows 10 updates will no longer get their system started.
ROFL... MAO. The irony of that is just...
nevcairiel:

This seems like a rather niche case. Who regularly uses System Restore? I don't think I have ever used it, its way too unpredictable.
It's enabled by default and automatically creates restore points without asking you. So it's not niche. It's actually the common case.

Windows 10 is still faster and superior... but Stop blaming M$ and pass on the Tux side for main OS 🙂 (once you go there you will never come back 🙂 )
Yep. For 8 years now, I only use my Wintendo installation for games. That's all it's good for. Everything else is taken care of by little, happy Tux. My bootloader's menu looks like this:
1. Linux
2. Wintendo 10

if Connection Lost During Update Such Might happen try Downgrade your system First...
Thats not how updates work on the OS, connection lost equals graceful abort.

My system restore is Aomei Backupper. Never failed yet.
