I hooked up another win 10 computer this afternoon and getting the win updates.  It didn't show the Creator's update so I'm installing it from the link bob3160 posted.  It's only 32% completed and the other updates are installing.  I know I have to restart my computer but just wondering what that will do to the Creator's update.

There is no doubt this massive update is going to be spread over time (I'm in no rush).

If you open the windows update & security from settings then you will see it is coming:

Good news! The Windows 10 Creators Update is on its way. Want to be one of the first to get it?

And the blue link below to show you how to get it.

Other than it being another data gathering tool, I would say NO - I have it disabled along with Bing.

@bob3160,

I have run the Hardware and Devices trouble shooter several times and clicked on apply this fix ,when I restart my computer, run the trouble shooter again it still shows restart you PC to finish installing drivers and updates.  Is this something I should be concerned about?

When you clicked on the message to restart the computer, does it actually restart the system or, does the massage just vanish ???

Why are you re-running the troubleshooter ??? Is there an indication that there is a problem ???
You only run it if the check mark in the defender icon isn't green.

Are you running or do you have avast VPN installed, either as trial or as a paid version?

So what is the driver error - is it disabled?  What is driver name?
