Shock, horror, creators update worked perfectly.

Creators has been on a week now and doesn't appear to have caused many
problems, I boot from an SSD and if anything Windows loads faster.

The only slight problem I had was that Word reverted to centimetres and
Excel lost my printer, both easily rectified.

Non of the tales of woe described on t'interweb as yet, fingers crossed.

When I did mine it messed up my Homegroup and broke RDPWrap which I had
been using to enable RDP on Win 10 Home.

I upgraded to Win 10 Pro.

What are the benefits of Pro for the 'non-pro'?

I have been using Creator for several months now or since it was
released. I was quite please as it installed easily on both my desktop
and laptop. I waited some time before my tablet indicated it needed to
be updated (Intel Atom CPU 1GB,32GB storage) I let it up grade and to
my surprise I gained an additional 2GB of storage.

My only concern and it has been a concern since Windows 10 was release,
is that little harassments happen when ever Windows 10 needs updated.
ie mouse is strange, programs don't open quite right, many different
little harassments nor major problems. When updated sometime it takes 2
or 3 restarts before the problem goes away.

Other that that I am quite pleases with the Creator upgrade.

Killing Cortana and cloud for two.

Cortina can be hidden on the taskbar. (Right Click taskBar, Cortina,
Hidden. Change appropriate setting Go to All Setting type in Cortina
and set all parameters to off.

While the OneDrive folder still shows in the File manager, I went into
the Uninstall programs and deleted it. So far it has not returned; I
have not missed it; or have I had problems because it is not there.

Just one week. You are a bit late in everything aren't you? Have you
had a brain transplant recently?

For me Remote Desktop and Hyper-V. Originally I thought I could get with
Home using Remote Desktop via RDPWrap and Virtualbox instead of Hyper-V.

However I couldn't handle Remote Desktop being broken so I upgraded to Pro.

Ok here, also


Ken1943

Here also, win10pro except that it changed my sound output from speakers
to headphones, and since I don't have headphones connected, I had no
sound. They may have rearranged the screens that I needed to look at to
fix this so it took me over a half hour.

And they changed my Firefox home page to yahoo and my search engine to
yahoo, unless upgrading shockwave flash does that. Does it? I'm careful
to uncheck those boxes, but maybe I finally missed them.

Ironic that the two you name are disabling features, not adding them.

I only have Pro because it was on the used computer I bought.

Yes, that sounds like one of the drive-by downloads they might be doing.

Flash was supposed to close its public free-for-all download web page,
but this one appears to still be working. What I do, is find out
the current version number, and edit the URL, then I can download
my update. This one doesn't seem to have an alternate payload.

My last download, might have been from here. This would be an NPAPI
for Firefox or Seamonkey or similar browsers. Chrome-family browsers
(SRWare Iron) use PPAPI (Iron doesn't auto-update!). IE11 and MSEdge
use ecosystem-provided plugins for Flash. There isn't a lot of reason
for a Win10 user to be looking for the "ax" ActiveX flavored one.
