Microsoft Re-Releases Windows 10 October 2018 Update With Big Bug Fix

Cost me a $130 visit to Dell Tech Support to fix the loss of sound drivers in my Dell XPS 13. This is the company that made Gates the richest man in the world? Pretty shoddy work they produce.

If Microsoft counts half the world's population as using Windows then ...

7,632,819,325 / 2 = 3,816,409,663 x 0.0001 or 381,641 people having said issue, which for comparison is about the population of the city of Tampa, Florida.

If they can be as precise as 1 hundredth of 1 percent then why not just give the actual number that they reported as having the issue?

Else you have people on tech sites estimating their actual total with hopefully wrong variables.

Because not that many people installed it. It was probably a small amount compared to total Windows 10 user base as you had to manually start the update.

Hey Microsoft, While you are at it on "Fixing updates" How about to don't reset ALL THE NETWORK SETTINGS BACK TO DEFAULT ON EVERY UPGRADE!!! This way I don't have to have 50-100 people calling me every 6 months because stupid things like duplicate printers show up, or their file sharing isn't working any more (No password file sharing). Comon.

Every update I did in my network had no issues. No duplicate printers (they are shared via a print server), no issues with shares and all network settings were the same. Even my desktops static IP was the same.

Maybe you need to rework your network?

every SINGLE PC that has done every Fall/Spring update that I know of that has windows 10 will have its Sharing Settings changed. IP, etcs are fine but it ALWAYS turns back on Auto Add network devices (Which gives me duplicate printers) and change other sharing settings (not removing them or anything). It just seems to set the network and sharing center back to default every freaken time.

Are you using GPO or some other setting to auto add printers based on AD membership? We don't do that. We have the printers on a print server and then add them to the required systems and not one system has had any duplicates added on their own.

Doesn't matter if it is on a AD or not. The update always resets the network and sharing center share settings for just about every PC I deal with. Doesn't matter if it is though Windows update or manually updated

Had to roll back from 17763 to 17758:
1) my Logitech BRIO camera stopped working and was reported either as a unknown device or complaint that it could not install due to missing files
2) My Raidsonic IB-Hub1407-C stopped accepting USB 3 devices (stick/external HDD)
