KB3140743 - Windows 10 Patch

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3140743

Fyi...if you've had network discovery issues and used on of the work
arounds floating across the internet (e.g. disabling SMBv2 and/or SMBv3
) ***now*** would be a good time to enable them *before* 3140743 is
installed automatically.

Maybe you should take a look at this first.
I'm not using Win10, but I happened across
the post at Slashdot and it looks rather ominous.

Windows 10 is, in my experience, about the worst MS OS experience since
.... well, nothing. Mostly because I avoided the previous ones I guess.

Oh, I've largely got it beat into submission, but not easily. Spent
tens or hours Googling for solutions (color? Sheesh!) I've got so many
saved .reg files to sort things out that MS ought to pull its head out
of its ass and lay it on the chopping block.

And add-ons like Classic Shell help.

But, despite doing a clean re-intall Edge still won't run (crashes) on
two PCs. Not that I care, I don't use MS browsers, just curious. And,
yes, I've run every sfc /scannow and DSIM "solution" known to man. The
OS is broken. Simple.

Oh, and the W10 update tells me that one W7 PC is compatible with W10.
I run the update and it simply fails, reverts to W7 with no messages.

The clean install on my main PCs fixed most issues (like never being
able to turn off drop shadows on desktop icon text) but some remain.
It's buggy, and it makes XP and W7 look like exercises in genius.
Which, honestly, over the years, proved to be very robust, stable, and
made me happy.

I have been a loyal customer of MS for decades. This is pushing me to
the breaking point.

Gates and Ballmer were hardly the most customer-friendly CEOs but Nadala
seems to have broken the paradigm.

What are they smoking in Redmond???

Only My opinion but I think Microsoft no longer cares about the
desktop.They think there is more money in other ares of their
business.They could be wright and time will tell.

You may be right but my guess is they are trying to dumb down the
product, make it a consumer product. They've been working at that for
years.

They don't get that it isn't. PCs aren't. I don't care what they
think, it's not a toaster, it's not an appliance. Never will be.

Witness the number of people who turn to me to bail them out of Windows
updates. And I'm nearly out of answers.

MS doesn't get it, I doubt they ever will.

To abandon the desktop/laptop market would be a big mistake. If you
don't believe me go to your nearest big box store and look at the items
to make the tablet/phone into a desktop. keyboards, expansion USB
connections, etc.

Whether people admit it or not there are things that do not run well on
a tablet/ phone. As for touch screens they are not precise enough for
the more complicated application. A mouse can click on a couple of
pixel, the smallest your finger can hit is a couple of dozen. A couple
of dozen pixel is satisfactory for hit an icon, but fails miserably if
you are trying to work in a spreadsheet or similar application

For many, 3140743 resolves the issue of Win10 not seeing the Win7 and 8x
devices in File Explorer's Navigation pane under the Network folder
negating the need to access the device or it's shares by entering
\\Computername\share folder in the Explorer address bar.

Since the workaround tweaked and disabled SMBv2 and/or SMBv3 the
recommendation was to enable those settings prior to letting W10 install
3140743. Not doing so could create issues after installing 3140743.

I have seen reports of 3140743 believing to cause problems though not
all reports provide enough evidence to validate. In the same light,
there are quite a few reports from the enterprise and consumer community
that 3140743 resolves the networking share issue.

But as we all know and have for some time for the last 20
yrs...installing any update is a leap of faith.

Interesting. After reading it I find myself thinking: "...MS today is
where SEARS was 40 years ago.." Like the SEARS of 40 years ago, they
don't have a clue that anything is wrong.

Indeed. I've been with MS since 1986 (Leading Edge XT) and after
taking a good look at Win10 I found myself thinking that maybe it was
time for a switch to Apple for a new desktop I wanted to buy.
Fortunately I found a desktop with Win7pro so I didn't have to resort
to Apple. However it was a serious option (my wife and daughter have
Apple so I'm slightly familiar with them) for a while.

Your wife and daughter are selling sexual favors for $5 each - and neither
of them is really worth it. That's why you're only "slightly familiar with
them"... because you CAN'T AFFORD THE $5!!! BWHAAAAAAAAAAA!
