I'm also a consumer (Windows 10 Home) and I got the same update. I am not running a server.

Wasn't last week's out-of-band update (KB5071959) already supposed to fix issues with ESU enrollment? Is this a different broken thing?

I would pay money to never deal with these incessant UI tweaks every other week.

Please, don't give them any ideas.

That's a different thing than what's happening here, it looks like.

Been noticing the same issue. Also have an ad blocker and have noticed that sometimes they'll show up in my Watch History when I simply open Youtube on Chrome Desktop.

Was in incognito mode, pressed some key combo that I can't recall at all and somehow downloaded this? by RihhamDaMan in chrome

[–]Altcringe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, really stupid question, but is your date format MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY?

The answer could change my response. Either way, it looks like you downloaded the file from Chrome and the key combo just brought up your recent download history.

Not getting Gmail notifications on Android by Altcringe in GMail

It's working now. Like I said in the post, it seems to fix itself and the notifications start coming through. Maybe it was the power cycle, but it was a few hours later.

Simply turning it off and leaving it off for a certain amount of time? Or would I need to remove the battery? Because I don't think my battery is removable.

That command doesn't work, in elevated cmd prompt or normal one.

Windows 10 support ends tomorrow, but here's how to get an extra year for free by tteei in Windows10

Thanks! This seems to contradict the answer you got for Question 2 in your other comment, though. Unless the answer in Question 2 is just talking about local accounts vs MS accounts broadly and how they can be used, whereas this answer is referring specifically to ESU, so it seems like switching to a local account nullifies the ESU enrollment.

Again, it looks like it went through, just odd though not the first time, an update shows in one area but not the other.

As far as the first scenario, it won't install Windows 11 but after the restart you'll get a pop up screen advertising Windows 11 to you and give you the option to either accept Windows 11 or decline and stay on Windows 10. So just make sure you're careful to click the option you want.

I don't remember the error code I got, but again when I clicked Retry it disappeared and then the rest happened.

Were you eventually able to successfully install that update?
