Microsoft Discovers Blocking Bug and Delays the Release of Windows 10 Spring Creators Update (betanews.com)

The next big update for Windows 10 has been delayed while Microsoft rushes to fix a newly-discovered bug. From a report: Known variously as Windows 10 version 1803, Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version Next, Redstone 4 and Windows 10 Spring Creators Update, it was widely thought that the update had reached RTM and was on the verge of rolling out. However, this last-minute discovery means there will be a little longer to wait.

I'll wait for Windows 11

It's one louder

Why not just make 10 the top number and make that a little louder?

Or maybe it's a bug in the telemetry data gathering. Or the forced patch updater that reboots your machine overnight so you lose all your work. Or the applet that delivers ads to your start menu.

No it is not. MS keeps booting my machine nightly telling me it is installing latest win10. Just get to 82% done blows off and rollsback. Wipe machine and directly install win10 and goes though all the work and locks up in the boot. Reinstall working version. All drives are 64bit and current. It kepts reinstall win10 upgrade assistance after I deleted it.

WIN10 broken by design. Was leaving that machine to support win10 printing and 3D printing. But us totally unusable since it goes thought this update loop every time anyone logs on.

Thank you MS for the good work.
PS they do not know ehat is wrong either. .

You do realize that even from the very first release of Windows 10, you could configure it to prompt you to reboot instead of doing it automatically right?

No, I don't realize that because it's patently incorrect. First, the very first release of Windows 10 did not have this feature, as documented here. Second, the "feature", as described online, doesn't actually work, nor does the group policy method either.

You can nurse your various irrational reasons for disliking Microsoft, Windows, and whatever else all you want, no one here will really give two craps. Just don't crap all over threads with pointless posts that serve only to boost your own ego.

With the time you wasted trying to insult me you could have done a little research first and saved yourself some embarrassment.

Good on them!

Good on them! This is a refreshing change from their usual practice of releasing Windows 10 updates on-time but with bugs that break some or all functionality.

Obligatory "how to block this crap"

Here's the obligatory "How to Uninstall and Block Updates and Drivers on Windows 10" article:

(Scroll down to "Download the "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter package now.")

since Microsoft still isn't smart enough to detect unsupported hardware and will still stupidly try to download and install huge updates dozens of times on machines that will never support them.

So in Windows, you are force feed updates whether you like it or not, including functional changes that may or may not be quite ready. Updates are not merely there, you are stuck with them. Generally people welcomed the Windows updates prior to when 10 released, and then microsoft started cramming the most modern thing down every Windows device from 7 and up, and generally ruined trust in updates.

In Android, you frequently don't have a choice to even update, it's nice to at least have the choice.

Currently in the 'Windows updates are annoying' crowd, Android is worse because at least Microsoft does offer security and bugfixes for various updates, though it's an arcane art to *not* be advanced to the latest 6ish-month release.

Not surprised given the quality of their updates
