Huge windows 10 update. What is going on?

lafrente

Normally Win 10 updates take about 1 min. Currently my PC have been doing 20 min long update with a text saying "This will take a while" and at the bottom "Your PC will restart several times". and it indeed has restarted several times and still at 70%. I've never seen such a "heavy" win 10 update before. What is this?

You can run the disc cleanup tool in windows to free up the extra space it took as its a backup of your old windows install incase you need to role back

It also re enables all the useless services you disabled before. So make sure to disable them again.

To be fair, upgrading my linux operating system from one version to the next also require some time and a restart. Fedora 34 came out by the way. Time for os upgrade.

The version upgrades are pretty much in-place reinstalls, so that some things revert to defaults when it comes to system services doesn't surprise me.

Essentially, services are background processes that triggers on events. They are usually lightweight. Unless you need every KB of RAM because you have barely enough for anything, or you need every drop of CPH time at all time because you have a system powered by an Atom or something, there is no point in disabling. There was none for my current system that is now about 12 year's old. So certainly, not a concern for any modern system.

 

Your services settings are cleared out because when a new version of Windows comes you are basically reinstalling the OS and Windows setup transfer everything, reinstall your drivers clean, and so on. Anything that might impact the user experience in a negative way are not transfered. Services config aren't transfered, much like many system tweaks done on the registry. So yes, it sucks for you, but for others who do stuff on their system they followed online without understanding (or the site/author providing the information has no understanding of what he is saying) they get stuff working again.

 

So they are ups and downs to this.

He probably deleted or moved the picture he put as background. Cache is cleared when you update Windows version

Great! Now you can uninstall Chrome 😉

Same web browser. Well Edge is better now, as Microsoft is putting it's stuff that Google wasn't a fan at doing due to lack of care due to them being no competition.

Well, sure, when I go from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 a year from now, I'll have to reconfigure everything. However, I didn't even notice when my laptop went from 20.04.1 to 20.04.2, because it didn't change my UI or install a bunch of applications that I had previously uninstalled.

My fedora upgrade require me to do absolutely nothing afterwards.
