Windows 10 Windows Update Not Working As Expected

"Your device is missing important security and quality fixes."

Is that what you see on your Windows Update on your Windows 10 machine? And no matter how many times you click, it will return the same and find no update.

If your machine is on Windows build 1803 similar to mine, yes this is a known issue.

I was getting frustrated with that warning message on my new Microsoft Surface Go, after 7 years not using any Windows OS machine. My last used OS was Windows 7.

Using my 7 years ago knowledge of Windows, I bet Microsoft never change. So did a restart and still didn't help. So decide to google for it since it could be a bug and a separate patch is required.


Not surprising this was still true after 7 years. Following the guide here, I downloaded the Windows 10 October 2018 Update to move up another level of Windows 10 Build 1809.

WhatsApp Call Function Arrive in Singapore

Today a few people with Android phones will see that their WhatsApp looks different.  They now have interface that look the the below.

Yes they have been automatically enabled by WhatsApp (I suppose) to have it enabled.  With them, they can now call anyone with Android or Blackberry apparently also, to activate their WhatsApp call function.


This is a data call (Also known as IP call).  This is not same as the default when you press the phone icon and call it uses the celluar call.

Here's two way you can do it.

1)
  • Update your WhatsApp to at least version 2.11.561.
  • Ask someone with a call function enable to give you a WhatsApp call.
  • Pick up the call from WhatsApp.

That's it!

Beware there are spam calls going around as well.  So be careful not to pick up those.

  • Enable Settings>Settings>Unknown Sources. (Remember to disable after)
  • Go to WhatsApp website and download the latest Android file version 2.12.19.
  • Install the downloaded file.
  • That's it.
Enjoy the WhatsApp call.  As long you are on internet, WiFi or mobile data, you can do the call.  Quality is subjective depending on both parties network connection.

Apple users will have to wait as when you try call any Apple user, you will see the notice similar below.
