Win 10 Creators Update Will Release Tues., April 11, Or....

by Grif Thomas Forum moderator Apr 5, 2017 3:30PM PDT

Or, for those that just can't wait, (most don't advise jumping off the cliff), the Creators Update can be downloaded and installed today.

The first official method for downloading the Windows 10 Creators Update outside of the Windows Insider program starts on Wednesday, April 5. That's when anyone on build 1607 (the Anniversary Update) can download and run the Windows 10 Update Assistant to move to the latest and greatest.

Some more information is also in the links below:

http://www.computerworld.com/article/3187586/microsoft-windows/review-windows-10-creators-update-is-here-and-worth-the-download-with-video.html

As mentioned above, and because these large releases have had their issues in the past, it's not generally recommended to take the leap ahead of the standard release date. As for me, I'm waiting till April 11th to download the ISO and install the upgrade after a fair amount of time has passed.

Hope this helps....

Just For Grins,I Downloaded An ISO From Media Creation Tool
by Grif Thomas Forum moderator Apr 5, 2017 3:50PM PDT

As a test, I just downloaded the newest version of Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool. Although I don't really want to run the upgrade install at this time, the build number 10.0.15063 of the downloaded ISO DOES seem to coincide with the above articles about the Creators Update being available using the Update Assistant and in my opinion, possibly the Media Creation Tool.

https://betanews.com/2017/03/24/windows-10-creators-update-rtm-final-build/

Still, it's very possible there will be small additions to the 15063 build in the next few days. A few tweaks could be added to the build making it number 15063.xxx, etc. I'm just passing along the info I'm seeing at this point as I don't want to install on any mission-critical machines for a while..

Hope this helps.

Looks Like There's Already An Update For Creator's Update
by Grif Thomas Forum moderator Apr 5, 2017 6:08PM PDT

Even though the Creator's Update isn't fully released yet, it appears like there is an update KB4016251 to the original build, which fixes some issues that are occurring. A version number 1703 and build number 15063.13 released today. Interesting stuff.

See the link below:

Hope this helps.

Just upgraded to 15063.13
by samkh Apr 6, 2017 10:08AM PDT

a 2-in-1 Celeron 1.6GHz with the usual sluggish and barely sufficient eMMC that I had low expectations of improving. Boy was I wrong. This release is superfast! Now all those millions of cheapo low power tablets and convertibles have a new lease on life. Windows ... you are finally back!

Logitech Opens Support Page for Webcams Broken By Creators
by Grif Thomas Forum moderator Apr 6, 2017 7:31PM PDT

Logitech opens support page for webcams broken in Windows 10 Creators Update. For those experiencing this specific problem, they've provided a fix at the page.

The Creators Update launched yesterday, to those who were willing to go out and download it manually. In the brief window of time since, we’ve already received some reports that Logitech webcams have been running into issues with it. Mainly the issues seem to be pertaining to the BRIO models.

And here's a link to the Logitech support site:

nVidia Graphics Drivers Common Problem With Update
by Grif Thomas Forum moderator Apr 17, 2017 10:16AM PDT

See the links below about others having issues with nVidia and the newest Windows Update and with Creators Update

https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/chrome-is-crashing-when-games-are-in-fullscreen/

https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/81961-blank-screen-after-installing-creators-update-not-spinning-circles.html

https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/windows-10-april-2017-update/

But luckily, it appears as though simply re-installing the latest nVidia driver fixes the issue.

Hope this helps.
