Hi all

Has anyone had that pushed to them yet?

I read that after its initial release to limited number of testers(?) it was found to be flawed so they have postponed it!

But even once sorted it would seem that a good number of the improvements(?) are aimed at tablet users.

For now I have altered my update setting to not update this yet ;) But YMMV?
 
I got notification that it was available , I downloaded it and it failed to install, perhaps this was just as well.
I subsequently got further notification of 1803 to download and install which was a bit odd as I already had it so perhaps it was a reinstall to correct the failed 1809.
Since then I have heard nothing and TBH I am not overly bothered.

Same here, exactly!

Not sure I want it when it is "sorted"
 
On 1809 on my work machine. It's got some nice new security features. All running fine.
 
One key flaw I found mentioned was that it irretrievably deleted user files................this being a significant reason, apparently, why it has been postponed. But in common with the way MS pushes W10 updates it will no doubt be rolled out sometime soonish, that is why I set WUP to delay such major updates, I think I set it to 365 days?
 
How do you find out what version ?

That's right. You can postpone version updates by 1 year.
 
I'm on 1803 build 17134.345

What I have found with v1803 is that I lost Calculator a while back and others have recently disappeared from the start menu app panel. When I posted about this a few weeks (month or more?) back others said such has happened to them but could well return.

I surmise only accepting 1809 will bring calculator back amongst others.......... cynical, perhaps ;)

Once I am sure 1809 has overcome it's issues I will likely update.
 
I'm on 10803 and have calculator. always have, I use it regularly

1803 here too, with latest update (after 1809 fail) on 10/11/18 and calculator is installed. Don't use it much though.
 
Took the new update before it was pulled, not had any bother with deleted files. Believe it was related to some particular one drive sync configuration.

Becides, stuff is backed up.

I'm sorry, calculator was removed?

Do you just mean the shortcut?

Press win key + R to bring up the run box then type calc and hit enter.

See if it opens.

Yes, tried directly via the "run" command box but nothing happens......I get a dialogue box telling me I need a new app to run calculator.
