Windows 10 update or upgrade

Another windows Microsoft screwup, One other machine was stuck on 10240,
today out of the blue it decided to upgrade to 10586.29, after it was
upgraded I clicked check for updates and it answered that more were
available and it proceeded to upgrade again, This time to 10586.36!!!
This leads me to believe the Microsoft update system is FUBAR as it sure
seems pretty haphazard.

.29 has code that WU uses to verify the need for .36

Makes sense, but why not jump straight to .36? just curious.

Not entirely sure. There were issues with .29 installing on new mobile
Lumia devices that .36 resolved. Insiders recently received 11082
replacing 10586.36. The only plausible rationale that makes sense to me
would be to standardize both the consumer and mobile side on
Win10(.36)to ensure that all devices(excluding Insider's devices) update
to .36 before rolling out new cumulative updates next year.

I also can't answer what build the MCT created media uses as its
baseline o/s build no. for installation....probably won't get around to
looking at that until Jan. 2016.

village dumbass, aka "...winston", rides in on his 3-legged-horse and says
a bunch of stuff which amount to nothing at all because he don't know
nothing at all - but he pretends like he's the main Bill Gates personal
representative to idiots with st00pid qwestuns...

"...winston" and "Rene Lamontagne" sittin' in a tree

It's fairly common for a given update to require some earlier one to be
in place. AFAIK, some of the "please restart in order to finish updates"
instances are of that type. Why? Because some updates are patches on
earlier/other updates is probably the most common reason.

Just my 2 cents Canadian (1.4 cents US). :-)


OT.....Yea, what the hell happened to our dollar?

Not enough people want to buy Canadian dollars. That's a roundabout way
of saying that demand for Canadian goods (mostly raw materials) has
dropped, plus not enough people see Canadian dollars as a good stash for
cash. The current killer is oil. Tarsands oil is expensive, costs 3 to 5
times as much per barrel to produce as Saudi oil. So when the Saudis
lowered the price of their oil to around 5 times what it costs them to
produce, tarsands oil became essentially unsellable. On top of which,
tarsands oil is more expensive to process into fuel etc. So why would
anyone buy Canadian dollars in order to buy tarsands oil? At the same
time, our desire for foreign goods is as high as it ever was, not
because we want foreign goods as such, but because we've gutted our
manufacturing sector. Lots of reasons for that happening. So in the
short term (2 to 5 years) our dollar will remain low in terms of other
currencies. If our "investors" choose to put their unused money into
rebuilding our manufacturing sector, long term prospects are fair to
middling.

And so on. It's complicated.

Have a good day,


Yes our manufacturing has been sold out to foreign countries and we are
also giving them our natural resources instead of using them here to
produce our own goods and create employment.

It truly is a sad situation and the TPP has only reduced the chances
that manufacturing will ever be restored to where it was. As a
teacher, I can tell you very honestly that our youth is not getting
brighter every year and that there are increasing numbers of people
not graduating from high school at all. If they do, the standards have
been lowered so significantly that they are often lost once they get
to university (if they get there) which is also becoming increasingly
expensive. Therefore, I KNOW that manufacturing is the only hope that
these people have to find employment and survive at raising families.
Without it, they'll be living miserable lives of poverty and the
middle class in general will be further decimated. If the Canadian
dollar's low value can indeed help to restore the manufacturing
sector, I can't wait to see it happen.

Here the troll is whining about liberals, apparently clueless that
conservatives are also gung ho for outsourcing manufacturing jobs.

Cluelessness doesn't stop it from trolling...
