Microsoft started rolling out the release of Windows 10 October 2018 Update. The second major update this year contains several innovations, including the Your Phone app and improvements for Timeline.

One of the new features is an app called Your Phone. This makes it easy for users to use images from their Android smartphone on a laptop or desktop with Windows 10. Users can also receive and send text messages with the app. Furthermore, the company announced that the web version of e-mail service Outlook will soon have an integration with the task list. Tasks can also be used in the Outlook calendar.

I'll bet a dollar that after Microsoft "fixes" 1809, it'll somehow manage to hose something on a few rigs that were OK with the initial release.

I upgraded 20 machines with intel graphics, they are fine today. Upgraded my AMDFX6300\970GTX rig and Surface Pro 1 the other day, zero problems.

In fact, I got about 15 more minutes battery life on my SP1. Its even measuring about 8 minutes higher with batterybar, so far.

I've tried 1809 on two live installs (a pro and a LTSB) and didn't have the issue, thankfully. I have backups of almost everything but I would've deleted everything related to win10 that I have, even ltsb 2016, if it did happen to me :p

Apparently MS support just tells you to restore from a backup. This is their way of taking you back to a "good state"? lol. I thought the file associations bug was bad and same goes with the unreliable user interface but this takes the sh!t cake.

Anyone still use "Get-AppXPackage | Remove-AppxPackage" (run as Admin in Powershell) to clean the system from all pointless apps?

I use LTSB and let MS do all the hard work :p

I used windows privacy dashboard when I tried Pro. I selected unwanted apps and with a click, they were gone.
