    I've just received the update on this comp which took 3 minutes from D/L to Install finish.
    2 other comps have been updated to 20H2 - one took 7 mins and the other 10 minutes.
    No problems yet!

    I got 2 of them. KB4579311 and KB4577266. I am guessing that they decided that I needed the 2004 update as it has been sitting on my PC for quite a while now and it is gone. The second KB is for it. The first one is for 20H2. Also got a notice that an app caused a problem with the default app setting for .html files was reset to MS Edge.

    Microsoft wants to thrust Edge on everyone so it changes the default app for .html to Edge, regardless of what browser you want to use.
    I updated 2 of my computers to 20H2 & on both the computers I received the same error message.

    20H2 ... :confused: ... is that different from 2004?

    Edited:

    Well, it is! I checked my computers and 2004 is on offer for the LapTop (W10Home) but 20H2 on the DeskTop (W10Pro).

    That's what confused me. Never heard of 20H2 or any other similar nomenclature.

    My FF is my choice also. Still can't get mail in WLM. May try to download it again and see if it works then. Got to write down my settings first.

    Still no go today also.
    Acts like the POP3 and the SMTP settings are wrong. I have been using the same settings since back in the Win 98 days. I googled it and changed both of those all around and still no go. Was worse than the original settings.

    Many threads with "things not working".

    On my two computers, both running 1909, a "preview update for .NET Framework" comes and goes. Every other day it's there, the next it isn't.

    Some have reported that Microsoft are forcing Edge as the default viewer of som file types.

    The list could easily be made longer and I believe Microsoft is up to no good!

    My biggest problem is the random security sign ins that MS is doing.
    All I want to do is Start the comp and use it and when MS says my Password is wrong - that really gets me going! :mad:

    And now MS is trying to force you to use Microsoft Account instead of local account. Almost every time when I log in, I get a dialogue box to select services which are closely tied to Microsoft account. Yuck.

    After starting the computer, going to Settings, every other day I'm greeted by my Local Account at the top with a login to OneDrive and Windows Update. Everything else is below as usual. The next day, my Local Account is not there at the top.

    What are they drinking or smoking ... :confused: ... to get this random/erratic behaviour?

    Also, I'm running version 1909 on both the DeskTop and the LapTop but the offer for a new version seems to vary by the wind on the DeskTop.

    A week ago it was for 2004 but it changed to 20H2. Now there is no offer for a new version but my bet is that tomorrow, there is!

    On the LapTop, the offer is consistently for 2004.
