Windows 10 Creators Update launches today – All the awesome new features

Sadly it the privacy settings are useless :(

Also once again it resets all default applications, so enjoy Edge opening your PDFs >.>

I have done the update as soon as the ISO was available a week or so ago. I like the new additions to Windows 10, and the tinkering done. Gamemode, however, is not working at my side as advertised even though it is enabled. Signing into the Xbox app does not help either or whether it only applies to MS games… I did receive a Cumulative Update this morning, maybe it will resolve things.

On another note, the update may have launched today, but it was rolled out to early adopters, not talking about Insiders here. Some people I know received the popup to do the update in the past week.
 
Paint 3D seems like a terrible waste of resources that could have been used to better the OS itself.

Paste this in a vbs file and run, will show you what your Windows update settings are and what its set to.

example: Test.jpg

to clear just clean out anything in:
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]

Open notepad, paste the contents into notepad and save it as a .vbs file or just click the download button and save it as update_check.vbs and then run it.

Never used vbs before but I suspect that will work.

Watch the video I posted Anti-beacon like many others relies heavily on some of registry patches (and Local Policies)to block some things, sady windows now completely ignores those and does its own thing.

Looks like your updates are set to a WSUS server, just need to clean that out if you want to update from Microsoft directly. I have Reg file that does this els just navigate and do that manually.

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]

Just add above into ClearUpdate.reg file and run it.

Disclaimer: If you not the Sysadmin, please keep your WSUS settings as they are there for a reason.
