    Windows 10 10586 and slow login problem

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    the Windows 10 November Update had been pulled from Windows Update [refer to: http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsoft-explains-disappearance-of-the-windows-10-november-update

    I checked my Windows, and it's Version 10.0 (Build 10240) and no updates available

    I just do not know where I can find installed updates on Win 10 Pro 64-bit.

    Have you pressed the 'Check for Updates' button in Setting | Update & Security | Windows Update?

    The Threshold 2 version 1151, 10586 updates are being 'rolled out' slowly, apparently the late adopters getting it later.

    And have you read PIB's latest posts in

    Did you get the windows 10 Fall 10586 update? I didn't get it.

    Specifically posts #13 and #14 regarding using Microsoft Creation Tool to force update. (hurry, while it's still there).

    Yes, I did check for updates. Previously (a couple of days ago) I was offered the version 1151, 10586 updates. But wasn't able to install it along some other updates. Now there is no updates available. In the meantime, I uninstalled GeForce Experience.

    RichCor, thank you for pointing me to the other topic, I read it, and am not sure if to go for the ISO 10586 upgrade. or wait for Windows update that should come sometime in December.

    Here is what I learned and my observations:

    Android 6.0 or Marshmallow allows to format your external SD card so it appears as internal storage. And Android will then allow to move over photos, movies and apps over if you want. This is called Internal mode. In Internal storage mode, you CAN move apps and the data to external SD card, but only those apps that were labelled as movable by the developer. For example chat and other apps disallow moving to SD card and they cannot be moved. The system and built-in apps cannot be moved either.

    You can also choose to keep using your old external SD card format - this is called Portable mode, under Marshmallow.

    So when you install Marshmallow, or if you plug in a new SD card and start your device, there will be a notification showing the options - Internal and Portable.

    Important note: after formatting SD card as Internal storage, RESTART YOUR PHONE!

    Choose Internal format and the built-in internal storage will become reserved for apps and app data only. And all other data will be put on your external SD card. In that, the external SD card will be seen and visible as your primary (and only) local storage. So if you place music files on it now - it will not have the Lollipop restrictions on it - and any app will be able to use it. That is the behavior will be as if you did not have an external SD card and all this data was on the built-in internal storage.
    So the advantage of Internal is that you are going to escape that whole Lollipop type restrictions on writing to external SD card.
    Instructions: How to Use SD Card as Internal Storage on Marshmallow:
    But the downside is that if your internal storage is large enough you didn't need to do all this - as you are losing direct access to your local storage - with Internal mode you lose ability to micro-manage the built-in local storage, and the external SD card becomes your visible local storage.
    So it's a trade-off - and basically it's up to your memory needs:
    If 16GB of local storage in't enough, it may make sense to add 32GB external SD card and use it as your main internal storage.
    Is it worth to lose seamless access to your main internal storage?
    It will be appreciated to hear the first hand experiences of those who already get the Marshmallow.

    Do you guys were able to utilize SD card, to make it function same as the main memory?

    Yes. Phone offers to format the card and then move media files to it.

    Other than that I did not try. Looks still like this

    Thanks oilinki,

    So, first, you need to save somewhere your data on the SD card, and then, to format it. Were you able to upload your saved data back to the SC card?
