I've lost my Win 10 2004 install USB stick, so created a new one using 20H2. I installs but doesn't seem to be have well on either if the pCs I've tried it on. Are there well known issues? I hate the system page being taken away for starters. I can't get an ethernet connection, the drivers are installed and OK, but the toolbar has no network setting and a lot of the settings pages seem not to work either...
Official known issues list is here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-20h2 System page as-was is part of the settings app/widget/whatever... suck it up bc it ain't coming back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As for the network, what adapter is it, and does it show an error in device manager?
Shortcut to retrieve it If you use 7+ Taskbar Tweaker stop it running at startup and exit from it before installing 20H2. Choose the version of Windows 10 to download any version
Thanks fellas. @RedFlames, I am preparing myself for suckage, and don't normally moan about MS, but this seems to be half baked. Not sure on what network adaptors as one has 2 and the other just one, none show as problematic in the device manager. ITX board with 2 Ethernets ports, both light up and flash when plugged in o a known good connection, but no network symbol and the settings page to network won't open. @Big Elf Thanks for that v useful article, I'll have a go now.
Sounds like a broken install, probably not much a reinstall wouldn't sort, but I have to ask what is the system page? I haven't noticed anything missing since update?
Win 10 1909 reinstalled perfectly with the same SSD, all functionality there as expected. I may do a 20H2 re download and see if the installer was shot. SSD passed Intel SSD Tools checks at 100%. Still can't get the laptop to install Win 10 on that SSD, fails at 13% or so on all Win 10 install types... It'll boot with the 64GB SSD I put in it, and another SSD with a working Win 10 install won't boot...
I've had pretty good success with 20H2 until today. All updates on various machines from 1909 went great so thought I would update my W7 laptop. Upgraded fine but was severely broken, even down to a HDD just straight up not working (failed to migrate warning ) and nothing I did could get it working. I know it was a windows issue as it worked fine in a linux live boot. rolled it back to W7 and everything worked as normal. ( at least that worked as expected! )
Interesting, thanks @creative, just spotted your reply. This is a laptop which would have been on W7 when new (Ivy Bridge), so maybe they're not supporting older kit so much?
