I really don't like them calling people who click that check for updates button to be advanced users. At least the OS is in better shape now anyway. They still need to fix shellexperiencehost being a pos though.

October is spelled D e c e m b e r in Microsoft's headquarters.

I moved back to the slow ring in the Insider's group after four years of being in the fast ring--started Win10 Insiders Oct 1, 2014, first day of the program. I downloaded 17763, the Oct release, the first time it was offered, before it was ever pulled, and have been there ever since--with no problems to report. 100% stable. Now on build 17763.168 (after a couple of cumulative updates.) I'm getting sort of tired of Microsoft trying to reinvent the wheel every six months, however. For me, 17763 (original Official Oct Windows release) is rock stable and always has been--bug reports can have so many causes other than OS bugs, it's not funny, so I don't pay attention until I myself actually encounter a described "bug," and in the case of the Oct release, I never did encounter such bugs--no little ones, and certainly no show-stoppers.
To illustrate what I mean, here's what Microsoft itself says about it's latest fast-ring insider release, build 18298:
REMINDER: As is normal with builds early in the development cycle, builds may contain bugs that might be painful for some. If this makes you uncomfortable, you may want to consider switching to the Slow ring. Slow ring builds will continue to be higher quality.
Microsoft has said the same for every fast-ring Insider's build released since the original release of 17763. Guess what's in the higher-quality slow ring...17763, of course.
So I've been as content as a bug in a rug in the slow lane these days. On 17763...! It makes sense to me to take the last official release and build on top of it towards the next official release, etc. That way you don't have to post stability warnings about the "early" builds in the next release cycle, presumably RS-6, in this case. I'm going to be staying in the slow ring for some time to come, I would imagine. Can't figure what Microsoft is trying to do here with an official release every six months--present a moving target to hackers? Maybe. At any rate, what's Microsoft going to do in five years when it has ~14 versions of Win10 to support? Someone @ Microsoft needs to think about this, imo.

Anyone notice a lot of updates for Windows 7 lately? Seems to be running a little slow versus my Windows 10 PC recently. Like a weird lag with the mouse.

There's still a really frakking annoying bug present in 1809. When i start my PC in the morning, i get passed the motherboard post screen but just before the windows 10 login screen appears, my monitor comes up with the 'no signal.' The rig is running, all the lights are on, all the fans are on but the monitor becomes unresponsive. If i then go ahead and press the Reset button on my PC case, the computer boots up and gets the login screen and works no problem.
When i roll back to 1803, the problem is completely gone and the PC boots first time every time and always lets me login to my desktop.

Does anyone else have the File Explorer problem with Dark Mode, which is black text on a dark gray background, making it barely readable? None of the fixes I've found have worked for me. Does that make this a bug?
