Having decided not to reinstall KB3022345 because of the SFC issues I have kept it in my update bin. Not hidden just in the pending update list. So a little while ago I manual check for additional updates and to my surprise 3 new optional updates show up and KB3022345 is gone but upon closer...

So after a routine Restart this evening a new little symbol shows up in my Task Bar lower right corner. Isn't this a little early? Does this mean I could go ahead and upgrade to W10 if so desired? Is this just a fluke on my machine or is this showing up all over the place? This has happened...

Didn’t pay any attention at the time but when I installed Optional Update KB3035583 back on 3/29/15 it installed a bunch of files. Last night I noticed some activity from GWXconfigmanager.exe for the first time. Wondering if anyone else has seen similar activity. InfoWorld had an...

I know this is Patch Tuesday but 35.:eek: I am still working on a couple of issues resulting for some of the Optional Updates over the past couple of weeks. Looking forward to hearing how the install for these goes. I think I will wait a bit. :D

I've had this desktop for 10 months now. OEM purchase with 8.0, immediately upgraded to 8.1 and have applied all updates to date including the ones today. Never had any significant issues. I have a 1T HDD with over 820G free space and will probably never use half of that. Freeing up disk...

WOW! That's a bunch of updates. Considering how things have gone lately with the Patch Tuesday Updates I think I might wait for some feedback from others who have installed.
