Windows 10's default display driver doesn't look fit on this low-end desktop but after downloading the NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver (for Win8) and it looks okay now in Windows 10.

Successfully dual-booted Win10 with Linux Mint 18.1 MATE after changing 4 primary partitions to 3 primary + 1 logical partitions in a basic disk and creating unallocated space for installing the Linux distro alongside Win10. Linux Mint installer happily takes up all the unallocated space in a new ext4 partition plus a swap partition.

Linux Mint's display is in order by default which uses Nouveau display driver (open source), but the Driver Manager in Linux Mint recommends NVIDIA driver, so I selected it and clicked Apply. It looks the same to me after a reboot. Hopefully it won't experience unexpected crashes as with the default driver.

Anupam, I don't think this problem started with CU. I have noticed this same issue for quite a while now and I am still on W10 1607.

As for W10 CU, I have no interest at all. MS lost me when they tried to force W10 down people's throat. Yes, I do dual-boot Mint and W10 and I still use Windows on the odd occasion, but generally speaking, Windows is very much a secondary operating system for me now. It will never again occupy that number one spot, or at least for me.

Not to derail the thread, but I noticed that Igor mentioned Autopatcher. Another option would have been Windows Update MiniTool by Mister X. It is a great tool.

Joe, perhaps you missed in that post that I had said that this problem has existed since Windows 7.

Oh... Sorry, I didn't make the connection.

and I've also notice this issue on both win-7 && win-8x,
but not yet, on win-10, but maybe, I'm just lucky, ATM.

though, on both win-7 && win-8x - - it's a right royal PiTA.

I've have to poke around with some of those "fixes" & see just what works.
- if anything does, that is.

and I'd agree: - -
"Solutions - none of the official stuff works".

Today I noticed this failed update in the Update history:

15063.2.rs2_release_svc_d.170531-1743 (UUP-CTv2)

It is very strange kind of a name. Anyone knows what it is, or anyone else got it too?
