Windows 10 Oct 2018 Update "RTM" Build 17763.1

[vailr]

Unofficial, but probably accurate: scheduled for release on Oct. 2.
Note: only ".esd" files are currently available. ESD files are sort of "super compressed" versions of .iso files.

A free software called "Dism ++" can convert an .esd file to .iso file:

I am currently running 17763.1 and would not at all be surprised if there is one or two more versions released prior to the RTM. I would not hold my breath on the OCt 2 date

I'm also running a clean installed version of 17763.1 and so far I like it. The bugs I've noticed so far are fairly minor, and include:

1) Microsoft Edge favorites not syncing
2) Moving or deleting large files can sometimes take much longer than it should
3) Opening apps and features initially can take a bit too long, even when Windows is installed on an nvme drive.
4) Longer boot up time than 1803
5) Clockspeed bug is back for certain X99 builds.
6) Task manager showing inaccurate CPU and network activity (this is a known bug I'm sure)

2) Moving or deleting large files can sometimes take much longer than it should

Noticed that on the last build

4) Longer boot up time than 1803

Has been longer for several builds

I remember before 1803 was released that the ESD files showed up and they differed from the actual RTM files so I'll wait for the WU roll out on this one.

+1

Unless you have a real functional reason. I.e., there is a real life gain in having 1809 running a week or two early I do not see the point of this.

Interesting. I wonder how much value some Windows 10 1809 Upgrade USB drives would fetch on ebay, now that MS has pulled the initial release of the Update.

I did experience excel locking up after installing it but it was on one document only and I didn't lose it so I count myself lucky.
