update to 1809

Greetings I'm not sure if I'm posting to the correct department. How do I know if I can safely update to ver.1809 (I'm now in 1803) without damaging my printer? I upgraded on November 18 and had to fight with my printer (HP 4500) who stopped printing until I rolled back to 1803. I understand that 1809 was called back. Is there a new 1809 0r 1810+ that does not damage HP printers? thank you

Hi All, I have seen three or four blue screens on a clients computer and have only just managed to grab the dump file before it disappears. I have submitted the file to osronline and have attached the analysis. The bit that confuses me is that it mentions a fatal hardware error but also mentions a win8_driver_fault. If somebody with a better debug brain than me can look at the attached...

Good morning folks, Has anyone else here had problems with games running under Steam since installing the 1809 update?. In particular, the games' splash screen appears, but nothing else happens. Opening Task Manager shows the game supposedly running, but only using a small amount of memory. I've installed the latest Nvidia drivers for my GTX1070 card, then tried running the game. It worked...

"Mode" info returned by Windows 10 dir command

Windows 10 seems to have a new set of info returned by the "dir" Powershell command. This appears under the "Mode" heading, e.g. -a---- or d----- , but nowhere have I found what these entries mean or how to interpret the individual characters. I get that they have to do with folder and/or file permissions, but where are they explicitly described? TimDaniels

When I selected Windows on the Grub menu, the Win7 boot manager would present its menu which included Ubuntu. If I then selected Ubuntu, Grub would bring up its boot menu which included Windows. But now,...
