Precautions for Windows 10 Anniversary Update?

[Patrick2]

Hi All

Precautions prior to installing the Anniversary update?  should Avast be uninstalled first prior to doing the update?  not sure if gonna do a clean install or do it via Windows update as yet,  this one I wanna get onto Windows 10 Pro fully, right now I can't select users for Remote Desktop, guess a bug from Windows 10 Home to Pro Upgrade issue as was mentioned in Microsoft Answers forum.  Another forum is recommending folks uninstall 3rd party Antiviruses and uses Defender to avoid issues for the update

Create a image of the system as it is now.
If something goes wrong, put back the image.

No need to uninstall anything prior to the update.
Everything should go well, unless MS screws up.

Ok that relaxes me now, already got Image done, verified it as well, did that after my WIndows 10 Home to Pro Upgrade in June, so think all good at this point then

[Eddy]

Yup, all sounds good to me.

There hasn't been any problems with Avast installed and all of the many Insider Preview updates.
Why remove Avast If you remove Avast, you should also remove any other programs that scan files for the same reason.
From experience, it hasn't been necessary for the previous builds and shouldn't be needed for the Anniversary update due on 8/2/2016.

The safest way is to keep a backup image before doing the anniversary update - that way if anything happens, you can revert back.

[Patrick2]

Yup backup image all done already,  a few more files to backup manually since last did the image, misc pictures, documents, and such.   Prepared more so than I was for November update lol on my old HP system

What are you trying to say
Your comment indicates uninstalling Avast before allowing a Windows update which is sheer nonsense.

I will be turning off all programs that scan files prior to doing the update.
Avast, Malwarebytes, WnPatrol, WinPatrol AntiRansome

I will also not be doing anything online during the update.
