Microsoft has deployed late last week the new version of its operating system, Windows 10. Named Threshold 2, the update brings new features and fixes various expected since the launch on 29 July. However deployment does not happen smoothly.
The first element to be considered, it is not possible to install the update Threshold 2, aka 1511 version if you migrated your Windows 7/8 for less than 30 days. Microsoft leaves you in fact a 30-day withdrawal period to revert to your old OS Windows 10 if you are not happy. After this time, you can install the update Threshold 2.
As some of you have noted, the update to this build 10586, unfolds as the installation of a full version of Windows. This causes some untoward effects board as uninstalling some drivers. Some users suggest uninstalling their Serial ATA drivers while on our test machine is the sound card that has suffered: it took reinstall the entire driver Creative
In other cases. , installation of the update may hang at 44%: it seems that the problem comes here PC with an SD card reader. Simply remove the SD card may solve the problem if we are to believe the Microsoft forums.
Other unexpected effects on certain machines appear with the installation of unsolicited applications (we you were talking about Asus Welcome particular) or a start menu that now acquires a Windows Store apps promotion area in addition to the Windows Store tile that was already in the advertisement.

And in the list of unexpected effects of this update the default PDF reader we note that is Microsoft automatically reassigned to Edge, even if it was previously Acrobat Reader. And you can always use the Acrobat that tells you not to be the default player to its start and proposes to set default drive: this is simply not working. So one turn in the settings, the system then “Default Applications’ you will put in its place … Acrobat if you want. Other strange phenomena are reported as uninstalling certain apps or VPN.
Privacy Settings Change
Finally, some users complain of a return to normal of their privacy setting in Windows 10 after updating Threshold 2: understand that they had changed the settings have been reset. On our test machine where we disabled sending keystrokes to Microsoft, this setting has persisted after the OS update. A small detour in the settings, is required under confidentiality may be history to avoid bad surprises.
