I don't really want to be the harbinger of doom, but:

The case against Windows 10 Anniversary Update grows

There seems to be a way to block it:

Block Windows 10 forced updates without breaking your machine

Oh yes you do FWIW, Anniversary's been running great on 20+ systems here. Couple admin things were moved out of the Pro version to the Enterprise version only which kind of ticked me off, but the average user won't see that stuff.

I found it happened overnight, so now you tell me

Have you read some of the horror stories associated with this update?

We've just begun to get some crash reports trickling in that seem to be associated with this update. They seem to revolve around something happening to the Windows default printer. It's too early to tell for sure, but that is my 1st best guess as to what's happening. It does, however, make me feel somewhat better knowing that it has also affected some Autocad and Revit users as well. So, it's not just us.

I have, but didn't seem like they are that wide spread.The biggest issue of freezing during the update process was fixed last month with an update supposedly.

So, is this why my file is crashing when I go to the prnit/plot menu?
Any work around?
What is the trick on opening ctrl-shift-p, will this help?

Dave, thanks for the heads up. I'll check when I get home.

I guess the problematic update is due out Tuesday (tomorrow?). So I disabled auto update, and the other tool to hide updates, for our friend Justin Case.

As it turned out, I got the update last Saturday, despite that I thought I had disabled updates. My son Nick was able to roll it back easily, however, in about 15-20 minutes.
