V1709 update?
My main machine has not received notification about this "1709
update", though my other machine has and has installed it without trouble. Should I just wait to get a notice and are these notices related to the size & complexity of the main machine's content? |

It is my understanding that MS releases these update by Manufacturer, CPU, RAM and Disk size. I know that when I tried to update my tablet at the same time my laptop and desktop both with fast CPU's and lots of memory, I had all kinds of trouble. When I waited for notification with the next update, it went with out a problem. -- 2017: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |

What I'm finding, is an AMD "updater" starts to run on my machine, *before* an OS upgrade starts. Even though my video card is out of support, and I just end up dismissing the updater, unused. The other possibility, is it's blocked in order for Microsoft to spread the load caused by downloads. But, I don't believe that for a second. Some other download activities seem to be less frequent lately, and I suspect they have plenty of bandwidth to do these. So that's probably not it. Paul |

MSFT pushes the updates down in a stage deployment to devices(with any given possible hardware or manufacturer) most likely to have the least amount of problems by prioritization of in-house testing, availability of functional drivers, and telemetry collected from devices using the prior and Win10 current version/build. Even based on the above, some will succeed and some will still fail. -- ....winston msft mvp 2007-2016, insider mvp 2016-2018 |

You can start the process yourself by going he https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10 and click the update button. It will download an "installer" onto your computer (save it onto your desktop), then click that and the update will start. Took about 4 hours on my PC, with some long periods of network inactivity - but if you run Task Manager, Performance tab, you can see lots of cpu and disk activity going on. There was one restart towards the end of this. DO NOT turn your PC off in the middle of all this. |

I waited for three days for the download (after being told that two of my three PCs were "up to date" I used your download site above to download the upgrades so that I could get the installs done. The installs updated without any problems. |

Should I just wait to get a notice and are these notices related to the size & complexity of the main machine's content? My desktop updated itself on 11/1, and my laptop 11/5. My desktop is newer and came with with Win10Home, and the older laptop was originally Win8Pro and updated to Win10 Insider Preview way back when (I dropped out of the Insider program a few updates ago when I got one that totally hosed it. I just wait for the "regular" releases now). I don't know if any of those facts are a factor in the delays, but the desktop is always offered updates at least 2 days sooner than the laptop. -- SC Tom |

Paul My second Windows10 is on the same MB & uses the same video system, so it will not be that. I'm inclined to wait awhile. In the meantime I'll play with my SurfacePro4 and try to get the update on that too. |
