[Trouble]

Another 19H1 upgrade to Fast Ring participants.
A couple Intel Processor equipped machines excluded from this build.

Everything seem to go fine although seemed unusually slow this go-round.
Still..... everything seems to be working OK.

From the blog, I have the Family 6 model 158 on my desktop machine. No connected standby involved with it.. i7-8700K

Looks like new builds are flowing for both Fast and Skip Ahead!

 

[Trouble]

Yah.....
I see them.
Started the installation of both.
I'll likely get back to them later sometime today.
It's above freezing here today, so I'm going out for my walk.
I see they fixed the block for the Intel Processor issue

We fixed the Connected Standby issue that resulted in us blocking PCs with Intel64 Family 6 Model 142 and Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 processor model. If your PC was unable to take Build 18342 from earlier this week due to having one of these processor models, you should be able to take this flight!

I suppose I might wonder, if they knew about that situation prior to releasing 18342, why didn't they just skip that build..

Connected standby is a big deal for Microsoft....

 

[Trouble]

No idea.
I sense a lot of "Stop the Presses" "Stop the Presses" going on over there. Often apparently, after the paper has already been delivered.

Installed 18342.8 today from the slow ring with no problems. Congratulations Microsoft

CORRECTION Still on October release. When I click on RESTART it just goes back to the old version. This is the worst fail yet!

Finally got this installed several days ago and an Cumulative update today
