Been awhile since posting, sorry about that.  Today, I was greeted by Windows Feature Update 1709.  "Great." I tell myself, "Another Windows creator update.... what app will break today???  How many calls will I get???"    

After downloading the update and clicking 'restart', the PC did the normal blue screen with the 'update' progress counter running, took a few moments to get to 100% -- typical major update stuff.  After that I got the 'Hi' black screen.... yep, still typical creator update stuff, that took a bit longer.  Didn't Microsoft just do the 1703 update?   Guess time flies.  After about 10 minutes, I'm guessing everything was up and running.  

 

I'm still old school, so Classic Shell needed to 'configure' itself after the update, it did automatically, well I had to click 'ok' first.  I see only one item that stands out, a strange person looking icon on the system tray...  "hmm... what is this?"   It is labeled 'people'.   Looks like you can pin "contacts for easy access"   Is that another way of Microsoft spying on us?   You can turn it off by right clicking on the system tray and placing check next to 'Show People Button'.   Sounds good.   

I don't notice any performance improvements.   This PC is an old Acer Intel Pentium G2020 with 5gb DDR3 memory and traditional HDD SATA drive, not state of the art but still good.   

The About screen looks a little different

Microsoft must not be pushing it out too hard, most of the PCs here still have not received it.  Good, it's Friday, I don't want to work hard on a Friday! lol
