A simple restart command doesn't perform the update step, just the restart, so the update doesn't get applied.

This has been an issue for a very long time with windows. I am surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. It's really annoying

Well, at least with Win 7, a standard reboot applies updates. At least, I think it does. The main difference between Win 7 and 10, is that they have switched to the osoclient.exe to manage the updates.

I'm pretty sure server 2008 and onward had the issue. I don't remember dealing with it on workstations

I still have a 2008 R2 box and can test it on the next go 'round. I won't have it much longer, as I am dumping it prior to EOS.

LOL - Didn't make this cutoff. Next week, hopefully.

I'm not upgrading :X I had no prep time

You can still make it. Just grab a USB stick (I think 8GB is needed), use the Windows 10 download tool and it takes care of everything for you. Very easy.

No I mean I literally can't. They have stuff running that requires XP. It's insanity.

Can XP be virtualized on top of Windows 10?

Can I use smoke signals instead of the internet or a cell phone? Sure, but why?

Get Windows 10 for the every day tasks. Get ready for the future. Limit XP to XP-only tasks. What's the game plan with staying behind on XP? It's not indefinitely supportable. You are already heading down a path of disaster. Sure, it is a long path, but there is no more support, no security updates, things will only get more and more dangerous and precarious and when something goes wrong, it's going to go really, really wrong.

I've got 3 neurons firing boys. Please don't take anything I say seriously. Of course there is a reason to do that. I'd run it in virtualbox and call it a day. There is so much to fix here I don't even know where to begin.

Well Windows 10 would be a priority to fix today. Easy one to put at the top of the list. Are the XP machines originally purchased with Windows 7?

I'm about to do a full bare metal install 😞

Did you say goodbye to the rest of the family for the night?

The wife is off on a three day sorority bender... I mean retreat, for the weekend already.
