Most of our clients are using Windows 10 on many/most of their computers.  As you may be aware, Windows 10 does two major updates every year, and they had projected one for late March, or early April of this year.   It was finally released and pushed out to evceryone today, Tuesday, May 8.

Microsoft updates may cause some disruptions to your currently installed system.  These can be resolved, and the updates are beneficial, but sometimes they can be disruptive.  Normally a reboot, or several, will complete the process successfully.

Frequently we get calls with people having problems, and they think ASW updated that day and may be the source of the difficulty.  ASW updates rarely cause problems, and fixes are pushed out usually within a couple of hours if they do.  However, we don’t want to add confusion to the Microsoft update, so we will hold the ASW 10 updates for at least a week to be sure all Microsoft issues are resolved.

Wjy can we assume there will be Win 10 update problems ?  First, the tech press has reported numerous instances of issues on some devices.  Secondly, we have 4 computers in my office alone to update.  1 was fine, 1 had significant ( but resolved ) problems., and 2 are still pending. 

So .. look for the next ASW 10 update to be coming after May 15.  We know a few items have been added as requested, but we also want your hardware support people to have a clear field for handling any Windows update issues before we add something new ….
