    Thought it was about time to get the update after 'Checking for updates...' wasn't doing it itself and found a manual method via the link below. So if you are still waiting for the Anniversary update yourself, you can force it to come through via the program below. It's an official Microsoft one, not a third-party.

    Also because the Anniv. update changes the Windows menu look and if like me you prefer to shut your system down via the Power icon (you can still Shift + Tab to get to it quickly) then note you can use the Win Key + X shortcut to access a quick Shutdown option or alternatively you can create a shortcut to slidetoshutdown.exe on your Desktop (and then Pin it to Start) that will show your Lock screen background which you can then -- as you probably figured -- drag down with your mouse to initiate the Shutdown sequence.

    They basically introduced a new 'proxy' service for webcams to allow sharing with multiple programs using a modern codec, and broke 90% of the older webcams out there that use an older codec, including their own Microsoft cameras from last decade. (Webcams haven't really improved much in the last 8 years so no reason to upgrade them).

     

    Then they didn't announce the change at all so none of their Windows Insider folks realised or reported it.

      Wow, Win + X is a great wee time saver. I wonder what other useful shortcuts there are :hmmm:
