This is the worst update yet that MS has put out.

My small tablet is stuck with over 10GB of storage space locked up in
the 1803 update that will not install.Â* This was expected but not
appreciated as it always has problems updating.Â* Since I decided to
wait, and am just know updating I suspect it is experiencing the same
problem with KB41037211 as my laptop.

My laptop CPU i7, 8GB ram, 1TB on the disk installed the main update,
with minimal problems, but took four restarts to get KB41037211
installed, It is running very slow.Â* It would go through the update
restart and it would still show there was an update to install.
After trying last night and KB41037211 failing to install, I
restarted several more times this morning and it finally installed.

Some time to day I will have to try to update my desktop, it only has
a CPU i5, 8GB of memory and a 2TB of disk storage.

I pity the poor IT specialist in a large company if they are
experiencing the same thing.Â* However thanks to MS they have job
security.

What am I getting for all of the expenditure of time?Â* 3D paint,
Virtual reality, and a couple of other "IMPROVEMENTS" which I never
use. However I am "real" excited about the change in the left panel
of the Settings screen.



I downloaded an iso of the 1803 update, and it ran like butter on all
desktops. I have yet to try it on my tablet. I probably won't, because
I recall that 1709 failed too, and it wouldn't use the 1TB of free
space on a portable HD I plugged in.

Your description of your desktop with "only" should cause no worries.
At least not if you use an iso for the job. That worked here on a
desktop with smaller figures than your "only".

On the road to success with the tablet!
I tried the DVD, but got told that it was the wrong OS, contact your .....
So, I was about to google, when I noticed a new small file on my
desktop; "Windows Update Assistant".
I scanned it, clicked on it, and got informed that it's always best to
stay up to date with latest Win10, and that my machine was ready for an
update (having sufficient memory, disk space (I'd plugged a portable HD
in) and other resources.
And it's downloading; 19% so far, very slow.
I'll report back later.

Finished, after running for 5 hours, and it has installed 1709. The
Update Assistant says that updated successfully. No mention of 1803.
HD free space still ok at 12GB after disk clean of old systems.
