Windows 10 2004 Feature Update

I was under the impression that fast startup was something you were supposed to disable anyway if you're booting from an SSD.

Ok...this time the fast startup worked. Weird!

Wondering if I should disable fast startup now that you said that...

EDIT - just noticed Cortana as one of my startup items in task manager (it was disabled, but wondering why it got in there)

Just updated to 2004 version using .exe setup. Restarted and then installed 20.5.1 driver. Went through three times restarted and then it's all good.
 
Just noticed fast startup is no longer working even though it shows as enabled in power options (I can tell it takes longer to boot up after "shut down", also the CPU uptime counter is reset confirming it did not do a fast startup). Seems to have started since the 2004 update

Any idea on how to figure out what is causing fast startup to not work? I did the 2004 update on my laptop and the fast startup still works there.

I just turned it off, really doesn't gain a whole lot with an NVME installed other then making the initial BIOS screen time go down. I am wondering if it may have been causing me my issues with hang on login. Too early to tell though.
 
Heresy!

Also only issue I noticed was that my anime tiddy lock screen was just a grey background until I went in and toggled it on and off again. Now errythang is copacetic.

Having that same issue, sometimes will get the background color screen on login after reboot instead of pictures.
 
I have also decided to turn on Hibernate to get around my hang at login issue, as long as it works it does make it a faster experience as I have a chit load of launchers and other nonsense that stay loaded with Hibernate on making login much faster.
 
I think Ultra fast boot is broken in 2004. So far so good after turning it off, haven't had login hang since turning it off. I cant believe these things were not experienced while it was being tested.:nuts:

Edit: Definitely looks like Ultra Fast boot is broken, since turning it off no hangs after login on boot up.

This update is a POS, so I was like wth I will update a PC I just put together and has nothing on it and I just installed 1909 on it about a month or less ago, Just basically using it as a cable box for comcast. First attempt, Does its reboot and blue screens:lol: This should be a pretty standard no frills update, Old Intel 6600K with just its onboard graphics. Trying one more time but I bet it blue screens again. There is literally nothing installed on this thing. Microsoft you are sucking as of the last year or more with your updates.

Edit: 2nd attempt works without a hitch, stupid!

Even though I am on Win 10 Pro, 2004 downloaded and installed without asking.

Had to revert because Apt-X Bluetooth audio is broken.

Any ideas why it auto installed?

No idea why it installed on its own, but it should've shown up as a separate link on the WU page in the Settings app, and you should've had to actually click that link to kick off the install.

Or at least that's the behavior I saw on my brother's PC that I just helped him set up. I installed the Pro edition of 1909 on it this past Thursday and pulled down all the updates, and then sometime after I powered it back on the following day, the upgrade was there when I went to check for updates again. But it wasn't installing on its own, and AFAIK it's still there waiting for him to choose to install it. I didn't tweak/disable anything on the machine as far as WU goes, either (it's completely stock).
 
:lol: This update is really a POS, So 3rd computer, A work laptop, after reboot, bluescreen and revert, 0-3 on the first try on this POS! Not even going to bother trying again on my work laptop, dont feel like wasting my time.

The first attempt should've been enough to make you wary of trying it a second time, much less a third. :lol:

Seriously, though... this is why I still don't do upgrades, not even with Win10.

Oh it eventually loaded on the first 2 after jumping through hoops, 4 times on the 1st PC, 2 times on the 2nd PC, and I give up on the 3rd PC. I can confirm Ultra fast boot is broke and also some odd login screen non sense like other people have got here, although I haven't seen it since turning off Ultra fast boot.

It should be disabled no matter what. It is the source of many problems because it doesn't always load drivers or reset hardware properly. Specially when you are updating those drivers.
 
For the record, my HTPC (4570 + R7 250) went like a hot knife through butter...

Lappy was a different story.

Even I as I was reinstalling 2004 was again downloading and preparing to install on it's own... (From a 1909 install USB). And this is with AUOptions set to 2 in the registry...
So I postponed feature update 365 days :)
 
I tried a 2nd time on my work laptop and its just plain out a no go, blue screened again on setup. then after all that and the tool gives you the go ahead on the install, I access Windows update under settings and it states its not quite ready for my laptop yet!:lol: Thanks for wasting my time Microsoft with your update tool, shouldn't it tell me the same thing before I even start.:nazi:
 
Also as I have read around there is some freezing or not responding going on from time to time. It’s not all the time but occasionally. I had none of these issues with 1909.
 
It makes startup a few seconds faster as you dont have to wait looking at the Bios go through its startup routine.
