There are updates available for other supported versions of Windows 10 today, which you should receive automatically in the next couple of days. Or, you can check manually by heading to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. And I see that the IE11 is to be sorted – guess it just isn’t slow enough yet to force people into struggling with EDGE. Also there are Framework updates – so more massed integration to be done. Windows Storage and Filesystems, – now that’s scary as in 1) It wasn’t secure before! ?? 2) What will stop working now? OK – an cynical and extremely jaundiced viewpoint – BUT it was shipped and forcibly installed into my working environment by Microsoft! And … how long will it be before I can expect to be able to get the system back to a reasonably usable responsiveness and that without glitches. PS, I’m a tech who spends most days fixing Windows. Oh! and now IE11 usually gets to allow me to startup page – Google and allows the entry of a search key in not much more than 20 seconds.
