House of Cards Is Still Using Windows Phone!
I'm about 7-8 episodes into Season 5 of House of Cards and they're still using Windows Phone! It looks like they've replaced the UI, but the phone clearly says Microsoft on it.

I'm on the Slow Ring. How do I get Creators Update RTM?
I'm on the Slow Ring. I'm currently running:
Version 1607 (OS Build 15048.0)
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15048]
How do I get the RTM version of the Creators Update? For whatever reason, it hasn't been rolled out to me. I tried using the Windows Update Assistant, but it's blocked by my system administrator.
To be honest, I don't want to be on the Windows Insider program anymore for this machine. I want to get off of it, but the only way to do that is to move to the RTM version, but I can't get the RTM version to install.
Any ideas?

Does anyone know if the current VS2017 Release Candidate the one that’s actually released? IOW, if I install it today, will I have to install a new version when it comes out on March 7th?
I want to use it now, but if will I have to install it twice (once today and again on Mar 7)? If I have to install it twice, I might as well just wait 5 days.

My Win10 PC Is Possessed! Apps Keep Starting at Random for No Apparent Reason
The last week or two, something very weird has been going on with my Windows 10 PC at work.
At seemingly random intervals, several apps start for no apparent reason without any user intervention. At first, I believe it was just Maps. But now it's expanded to Store, Calendar, News and Settings. It tends to happen after I walk away from my PC.
No, my co-workers aren't playing a trick on me - I always lock my computer when I walk away from it.
Does anyone have any ideas on why apps keep mysteriously launching?
I am running 14965.rs_prelease.161104-1700.

Slow Ring Users Are Getting Screwed
I on the Slow Ring and I started getting a message saying that I have to install a new build of Windows, and if I don't, my PC will automatically reboot every few hours and will eventually fail to start.
The problem is that I'm on the Slow Ring. There is NO new build on the Slow Ring. There is literally nothing to install unless I switch rings which I would rather not do.
If MS wants to encourage users to upgrade to newer builds, that's fine. But they have to provide newers builds. They shouldn't be forcing people to update to builds that don't exist.
