No
I think they backtracked on whatever their plan was, but either way I have the update installed and paint is unchanged

only because they havent migrated settings fully yet. that thing sucks to navigate, always has.
as someone coming from Mac its really schizophrenic
The only issue I'm having with mine is my my mouse cursor will jump around on it's own when I first turn my computer on (it's a Logitech MX Anywhere 2S sync'd via Bluetooth). It only lasts a few seconds, so it's just a minor annoyance. Once my computer gets fully up and running, things are fine.
Other then that, I haven't had any issues.

No, it says feature update 1709.

oh okay ty.
That is one crazy take, the new settings tab is one of the worst affronts to UI design in the history of computers. They went from something simple and easy to understand, to whatever you want to call the settings mishmash of menus and old school control panel tabs.

I'm looking forward to the core changes in Edge the most.
As opposed to the new bloated monstrosity? Control Panel might not be pretty to look at, but you click and everything is there on one screen for the most part. Where one line is needed, settings uses three and adds an extra void for good measure.
I think you'll have to go back pretty far. My GTX560 from like 2010 supports the gpu meters
The new control panel is a mess, sure it might look alright here and there, have an easier way of setting something but it's just endless, you miss settings because you need to scroll and half the stuff is missing like power options, sleep, lid etc. which go to classic. Even if they shift everything over it will be endless pages and scrolling. Bring back tabs.
Anyway, the classic mouse returns, awesome. No date though.

A lot of onboard video cards do not in 2012/2013 that were specifically designed for Windows 8.1 as they use WDDM 1.3.
oh yeah, that makes sense

Best mouse ever made

My surface pro 4 is updating now. I expect something to break 😒
Able to load up game bar in Games that I wasn't able to before. I unchecked use on verified games.
Also OneDrive integration is slick. How I missed thee.
An also, they finally added a mic to the on screen keyboard, about time. works great

Went smoothly on mine. Had to add the touch keyboard back to the taskbar though.

No adverse effects so far.
RivaTuner SS doens't work yet (or not the version I have installed).

well, it's mostly just updates to their applications, not the OS itself
only OS stuff I noticed were pinning people to your taskbar, OneDrive links, password recovery and GPU task manager
gotta brand it
is this update the one that makes windows translucent? we Vista now
looking forward to my laptop completely breaking forever
Right, I guess that's why I'm disappointed that there's the chance something might break and I'm not getting much for it, lol.
Seriously? FFS! After waiting to see what VEGA was all about, I upgraded from a GTX770 to a GTX1060 just to get proper 4K, 60hz, RGB and discovered HDR was just broke in Win10.
This is pretty cool. Wonder if if they'll do a wireless!

Just updated.
Does the OneDrive client need an update or something? I don't see the option for placeholders.

Have any Surface owners tried using their pens as clickers in PowerPoint? It just doesn't work for me. All it does is bring up Ink Workspace.
I have a presentation tomorrow and this would actually be really convenient for me...
EDIT: Works now after manually updating PowerPoint...

Keep in mind that Microsoft is trying to make sure everything is compatible with screens ranging from 3" to 30", roughly. Which is why elements have more negative space around them - not only is this better aesthetically, it allows for touch target sizes.
Anyways, I just really dislike the way you can end up spawning 3-5 little sub windows with basic activities, aside from other split personality things like 2 nVidia control panels (Control Panel and Experience). It's just really... old-fashioned. I agree that Settings needs to be expanded to include the previous functions but it should definitely be in that fluent UX frame. Also, the 2 prevalent views of Control Panel (Categories vs Icon view) which is pretty problematic when searching for solutions to problems or where things are. They just need to consolidate, and the old Win98 stuff doesn't scale, and is total crap from a UX perspective. It also looks like garbage on a 4K monitor.

What's the best way to update this. Through windows update or the assistant?
Face it Tiger..

I found the assistant potent and efficient.

i just want to mention this update will render many people who have Gears of War 4 and Nvidia cards unable to play their game due to a Nvidia driver issue that has been around since May.
as of right now the only stable driver that works is 382.53 which will be forcibly upgraded due to today's Windows 10 update rendering my game unplayable.

So can I add Facebook contacts to that stupid People icon in the lower right? It's useless to me otherwise.
Sys administrator here... Control panel was designed by a madman and stuff is thrown every which way... With 1709 testing since first build I have gone to control panel exactly once... Everything of note has been moved including network connections now (was the last major holdover)
Edit: every time win 10 updates the best part is coming here and hearing people complain about this or that which is broken when they obviously forced the update circumventing Microsoft checks to make sure everything is ready to go for their model

I've upgraded my home PC and my work tablet without issue in either case.
Did game mode get fixed previously? I remember testing it at launch of Creator's Update and finding stuff generally getting lower framerates with it. Now it's actually making a difference based on the few benchmarks I've run. Which is nice. I haven't retested it since 1703 released though, so maybe they fixed it a while back?

I for one will be sticking to my Anniversary update as long as possible thanks to using the Education verison unless they have fixed the mess they did with borderless performance in games/switching between fullscreen/borderless crashing some games.

Reading online seems to still be the case rip.

It's pretty good so far, they polished up a lot of the menus. It might not seem obvious at first, but it looks way better now. Windows 10 was very janky, it still is but it's acceptable.
One thing that is useful to me is that you can now set wired connections to metered from settings. I had to go force it in registry before. Thanks for that.

Update took forever on my sister's slow ass PC. Mine updated quickly.
Try checking for updates again (They have at least 2 updates that installed after I upgraded) and then reboot and try to access the settings again in One Drive from Explorer. Are you on Windows 10 Home by chance?
Pro, and I've already installed all available updates.
Thanks for the link, JaggedSac!
