Lightroom tells me I need Windows update to use Enhance Details

[androphilia]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the new Enhance Details feature of Lightroom CC Classic, and it tells me I need to run Windows 10 version of 10/10/2018. I running Windows 10 64-bit, build 1803, installed 12/7/2018. This should be sufficient, right?

Thanks!

Pete

Not sufficient. You need build 1809

Ugh, I tried to update Windows before I posted my question and it said I'm up to date. Do you know how I can forced it to get 1809 or later?

Thanks!

Oh well, the Update Assistant seems to be downloading. Not sure why the Check for Updates didn't find it. Thanks again!

Microsoft has had a lot of trouble with the 1809 update. They released it in Oct 2018 then stopped quickly after major bugs were discovered.

A phased rollout began again in Jan 2019 - but only to machine configurations that Microsoft's AI determines can handle the update without issues. Some people get it automatically via Windows Update and some don't. Net result is market confusion.

Microsoft starts its 'phased rollout' of Win10 1809, now controlled by a next-generation machine-lea...

Unfortunately Adobe's Enhance Details feature relies on 1809 being installed so Adobe gets unwarranted blame for faulty software when Enhance Details will not work. Many Windows users come to the Adobe forums adamant that they are up to date when they do not realise that the Windows 10 1809 update has not been installed by Check for Updates.

It turned out my issue was that Windows Update had repeatedly tried to update to 1809 unattended, but always got a BSOD and rolled back, so I was none the wiser about it trying.

It was only when I tried to upgrade manually with the tool that I saw this happen. It seemed to be a USB driver issue, so I powered down, unplugged all my USB devices and tried again. That time it worked!

But now when I try Enhance Details in LR, the "enhanced" view is nowt but black!

I thought I had updated to W10 v.1809. I hadn't. It was only after 3 more tries today and finally deciding to turn of the anti-virus software that the actual 1809 installed. This however, has not helped Enhance Details to work (see other thread).

Here?

Enhance Details - Preview Window "Spinning", No DNG Created

Yes.

Then the complaint should state that. My system is "up to date" according to itself, and yet is not adequately current. And

Another brilliant roll-out of an update. Another bang-up job by Adobe.

Do they not have any humans test this stuff?

A new update tool (for 1809, which only just became cooked, for crying out loud) can be found at

Download Windows 10

Why are you blaming Adobe for a Microsoft issue?

[grhookphoto]

Um, don't rely on someone else without properly documenting said dependency, including information about how to acquire the requisite? And why doesn't the Mac version require a Windows update? Huh? Don't the MacOS users of LR get this feature? If so, why is a Windows update required?

There's illogic and a disconnect here. Adobe could manage this a lot better. That's why we blame Adobe.

Windows updates are not required for Macs.

Windows update 1809 is required for Windows machines. That's the version where Win ML (machine learning) was introduced.

For the Enhance Details feature to work, Macs required macOS 10.13+ (High Sierra or Mojave) where Apple Core ML was introduced.
