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

"Microsoft warned users that if they install this build, their devices will be stuck in a reboot loop".

LOL, don't you just love it.

If you've never had something like that happen to you/your company, then you've never lived on the cutting edge!

I used to be in charge of sending out letters to a quarter of a million people at a time. The main part of the letter was developed as a flash in the printer with just name and address added dynamically.
Obviously we had to test the flash, but didn't have the real numbers to put in it so I used all nines to make sure it fit. We had two laser printers and the slow one was reserverved for testing. Being as it actually cost quite a bit to produce these flashes, when the real figures came out we only applied them to the fast production printer. I stuck big labels and notes all over the place saying NOT to use the slower printer.
I stayed and checked the first batch of letters, then went home to bed.
About three o'clock the next day we started getting irate phone calls from customers wanting to know why we were putting up our prices so much. It eventually turned out that shortly after I had left the main printer broke down and some junior operator had switched all the print queues to the test printer to try to get the letters out in time for the post.
From then on it was made a sackable offence to leave flash disks in any printer after the print run had finished - whether test or production.

Maybe I would expect more than 'cutting edge' service from a company that has just reported a quarterly profit increase of 27.8% and a net income of $4.8 billion.

You should know full well that marketting push things out before the technical people are ready.
It happens in EVERY company that I have ever worked at and there is nothing that can be done about it short of a complete collapse of the company. Even then it will be blamed on the technical people.

I have an 8 year old HP laptop that is huge. I use it for testing and just playing around. It's kind of slow, but it's good for testing out Linux distros.

I tried and tried to get it to upgrade to it to the Anniversary edition. I could never get that to work. I must have tried 3-4 times. I finally gave up after continuing to get error messages.

Over the weekend, I decided to try to update it to the Creator's Update. I downloaded the Windows Upgrade Assistant and ran it. I came back about an hour later and lo and behold, it upgraded! In fact, it feels faster and zippier. As of now, everything appears to be working fine.

I lost no files and lost no programs. I can't find a single glitch (yet?).

All in all, a very smooth transition/upgrade.

When you try to find the size of a first folder or first file in a folder, by hovering the mouse over it, it just won't show. You have to hover the mouse over any other folder or file in that particular folder, and then, when you hover the mouse over the first folder or file again, the size and details will be shown.

If there is only a single file or folder in a directory, it won't work, and you have to see it by right-clicking, and then choosing Properties.

Noticed a few days ago, that this bug seems to have been fixed now. Even with a single file or folder in a directory, it now shows details when you hover the mouse over it. So, this was indeed a bug, and it was very old. Don't know how it got their attention, but it's a good thing this has been fixed.

Other than that everything is running fine.

For those who would run into such as "System restore disabled," you follow the below steps to restore it.

Open Advanced start-up.
Go to Start >
Settings >
Update & security >
Restore and click Restart now below Advanced start-up.
Start System Restore in Safe Mode.

The other steps are just normal ones.
