    Because when I opened the Bing search engine, there was a picture of Trump in the lower right corner that says "Plan to Bypass Result?" and I figured that if I was going to have to bypass the search engine result, I might as well not use Bing! And No, this isn't a political statement. It could have been anyone in that caption.

    As far for the only OFFICIAL info, it will be .508. I don't know why this is still being discussed, whatever ESD/ISO they will release to the public, there will be a CU released right after it and they will continue to for the next 2 to 2.5 years.

    Please help the careless guy!
    I just did a fresh installation of w10 home 2004 and when the installer asked me to connect to the internet, I accidentally allowed it to connect to a public open hotspot. Then the installer asked me to make an ms account, which is what I want to avoid at all costs!
    It is not my wireless, thus I can not just turn the router off and proceed, so what can I do now?

    Disconnect your ethernet cable or find the switch on your laptop to turn off your wireless connection. Then when it asks you to create an account, just click on next. It might tell you "Something went wrong", but I think the next screen will allow you to skip creating an MS Account. Then it will ask you to provide a name and a password and it should finish installing. This is a "Local Account" install. On the main www.mydigitallife.net webpage there's a link to "How to Install Windows 10 & Windows 8.1 with Local Account (Bypass Microsoft Account Sign In)".

    On the topic of optional updates, I checked on one of the systems I maintain and there was firmware listed. I knew by looking at the version info that this was actually a BIOS update.

    If this a new thing? I never knew that you could get actual BIOS updates through windows updates.

    The system is a ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 N580GD.

    Instructions unclear, got stuck in the basement for the night..

    One should not assume anything explorer will work under setup/oobe.
    It would be much clearer to provide a command to enter at the Shift+F10 prompt, something like:

    wmic path win32_networkadapter where "physicaladapter=true" call disable

    Can undo it by using enable instead of disable.
    Can just type it blindly, even if the cmd does not have the focus (as it happens often) if it's the one selected in the mini alt-tab.

    powershell is also usually unavailable during setup/oobe, depends a lot if it's a clean install or an upgrade.
    taskkill / tasklist and a couple more stuff can also not be available
    wmi console on the other hand should work because setup launches it - and it can be quite useful at times.

    and I did experience those weird alt-tab and focus glitches on laptops, probably something to do with not running manufacturer's atk tool, when even f-keys can be problematic
    in any case, we strive to give clear instructions that work most of the times :)
