Windows 10 Creators Edition Fall Update, the SP5 to Windows 10, or Windows 10.5, if you prefer, is coming to an office near you, real soon now. Be ware.
[Editor's note: missing apostrophe in Creators is MSFT, not me.] https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/09/01/create-and-play-this-holiday-with-the-windows-10-fall-creators-update-coming-oct-17/ Inking! 3-D! Mixed Reality! Microsoft is excited! about their New Release! of their Update! With Lots! of Exclamation Points! But apparently, they don't need to support clients with real business apps, as the update seems to have broken a bunch of stuff so far this week: 1) A DRM package on a co-worker's machine threw Registry entry errors. (Part of an add-on to a Fox app, so may this is on-topic). Re-install, re-register seemed to resolve it. 2) A legacy, no-longer-supported version of a freely-distributable Cisco VPN product lost its Registry entries (hmm, a pattern there?) and had to be re-installed (hope you kept the old installer!) and a Registry entry edited in order to work. 3) Some 32-bit ODBC entries (kept in the Registry! Surprise!) were no longer valid and needed to be re-created. 4) On Twitter, Phil Borkholder reports, "And delays files from actually being deleted... via Windows Defender... interfering with the IF FILE() ... command." So, good news, Fellow Fox-ettes! W10CEFU means full employment for those of us of supporting Windows! -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4v+fwtvVM788=lrv54zxqqmm8e+1w0vvhhgjt8ssnb...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
