Thought I'd have another day in the computer room installing a Microsoft Feature Update. Microsoft has come a long way since the first one after which I had at least several hours of work to get it back to MY system after they removed a lot. This time, 12 minutes from end-to-end and that incudes a restart. Absolutely nothing changed in my system. All my unique Registry changes stayed the same. More than I can say about the just earlier cumulative update that removed my Registry change to put the notification of a download in Chrome back to the bottom of the window instead on the top tight. I hate it there and will have to restore that hack. But, the Feature Update worked fine. The only noticeable difference so far is the AI Preview ICON they threw on my Taskbar. I'm looking forward to a new Voice-to-text application upgrade and will be testing that the next few days for my impaired client I am helping. Most of the other new features I have no interest in. Supposedly there is a new File Explorer with tabs that I might look at, but I, like my 85-year old client just wants a system to remain stable and NOT change for a long time. Poor guy can't see well enough to see even a screen at max magnification and when you modify something on it and changes what he has memorized, life is an ever-reminding misery. Makes you wish that Microsoft would just offer a very stable version that NEVER gets updated except for security tweaks that do NOT change any visible interface.
Anyway, KUDOS to Microsoft this time.
