I'm not interested in the Creators Update yet. I think a lot of people here aren't. This is the update I have.

I found this to be a decent overview of the major new features of the Creators Update:

Because of my very recent acquisition of the Creators Update, I found the article below interesting also(and it's not a 26 minute video). You may not mind that after the amount of time it takes to install the Update.



Windows 10 Creators Update - the 10 best new features

Quote

Dynamic Lock lets you automatically lock a Windows 10 PC when you’re away from it.

Is this 1995 or something 

I know it's more than just that, well at least it better be lol.

I think the idea is that it detects the presence of a Bluetooth device (such as a smart watch) and locks when you're away and automatically unlocks when you come back.

It looks like Classic Shell will have to produce a Creators Update version.The latest version there is 4.3, which I have.

I don't know what happened(maybe the Update wasn't settled yet), but now I can re-organize that menu.

I presume the possible exploits mentioned elsewhere were patched and/or fixed in this latest Windows Update.

Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.413) here after the last blast of updates - That took an hour and a half to install.

Did the Creators Update on one of the machines here, and now all of the Explorer shell text is missing. Desktop icons, menus, dialogs, all text is gone ... Other than that the machine appears to run fine. FireFox worked fine and had text.

SFC = no effect, DISM = no effect, and I tried clearing the font cache to no avail ... Any ideas?

Had the same (happened to quite some other upgraders too, afaics) issue when I update to CU in April. Found some procedures that should have solved it, and that even worked for a short while, until the next reboot... After trying to revert it wouldn't even boot up anymore so I did a full re-install with W10CU on a spare hdd, works like a charm. All data was still on the (ssd) disk and available, so after installation moved all files over and then moved the entire image back to the (original) ssd.

Seems to be related to Comodo being installed for some, and uninstalling that has helped in some cases, but as I'm not a Comodo user, it couldn't help me

No reliable links here, but you could google for "windows 10 creators update text missing display broken" for more suggestions.

Glad you found it!  Not sure of the best way to handle this type of issue - I don't see it as MS's fault or responsibility, honestly

Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.413) here

and today it was "here"

I tried the Windows Update again and this time it failed at 40%, gave an error message and restarted and restored my previous Windows version after clicking on the OK box on the error message. I may be in the Insiders program without knowing it because I am getting such a buggy Update and I get to use the Feedback Hub to report these failures. I took these screenshots with my camera because I doubted I would be able to do it with the Print Screen key. I have checked the Windows Insider page and it says I am not in, but then why am I getting these Updates? I have already done the privacy settings review mentioned, so this IS the Creators Update.

       

A minor uneventful 64-bit Update.



Windows 10 Build 16241 gives the best sneak peek yet at the Fall Creators Update

@J-Mac:
12 processors? That must have been a very expensive computer...with 12 i7 processors in it 

1 processor with 12 threads is more likely what you bought, all those years ago. I still work/surf/watch movies (1080p/x265 HEVC encoded) without any problem on an almost 10 year old 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, practically without any problem (sometimes a minor stutter occurs and that is fixed by restarting the WMI service).

You would think that with the shitty power grid here in Paraguay my computer would have died a long time ago or that I was fed up with it. But it keeps working just fine and after adding a SSD hard disk to it, it works great. With that in mind, you hardly need to think about getting a new computer if your usage pattern is similar to mine. But if have not done so already, add an SSD hard disk and boot from that disk. Your i7 will perform better than new.

But ok, say you do buy a new PC from Puget. While Windows 7 will work just fine on any model of new processor (from Intel or AMD) you will notice very quickly that Microsoft will make your Windows 7 installation obsolete. That is, when updating Windows with (future) MS patches, you will get a message saying that your Windows 7 installation won't receive any patch anymore because it runs on a too modern processor.

So, you will end up with Windows 10. Maybe it takes 2 or 3 months after you purchased your new system, but by then the lack of MS patches will make you install Windows 10.

The AMD Ryzen 1700 series processor will beat the performance of your current setup easily and it costs much less than an equivalent Intel processor. The several 100s of USD that you save, can then be used to buy/upgrade Windows 10 Enterprise edition if possible. And if that is not possible, go for the Pro edition of Windows 10. Don't accept anything less, if you work with custom software on which you depend for your income.

All lesser forms of Windows 10 will be updated when Microsoft deems it necessary. You have virtually no control over this and your custom software may or may not survive that update. In case it doesn't, tough luck for you. The Pro and Enterprise edition allow you more time to verify if your custom software remains working or gives the makers of your custom software time to fix whatever problem it encounters. Of course, if you don't have such software and/or don't need the new system for your income, then you can go for Windows 10 Home or worse.

Please understand, I think that Windows 10 as an operating system on itself, isn't bad at all. And there are lots of free tools available that curtail the "phoning home" capabilities, if having a sense of privacy is important to you. My only experiences with Windows 10 are with the Enterprise edition and that edition works well for my purposes. But as I tried to explain earlier in this post, the "rolling release" update method that Microsoft imposes on any Windows 10 Home edition (or worse) is unacceptable for my needs.

Well said, Deo, and I'm another anecdotal testimony to the fact that it works well on such hardware.  I built mine in 2014 or so, and my daughters in 2010, and they work fine.
