Hi. I assume this is good news for Windows world, but my POC sandbox, running on a small laptop, mainly for *NIX systems. I mention mainly, because I had enabled the Patches for Windows - English, to see what it says about my tablet I installed the client on.

A) the BESGatherDB of version 1023 took nearly 8 hours (compared to 45 minutes before), and version 1024 seems to be as slow to gather. Is this expected? Can others (those really depending on it) Check their logs for their entries of, e.g.,

Fri, 26 Jan 2018 10:31:31 +0000 -- Beginning DB import of version 2923 of site Enterprise Security
Fri, 26 Jan 2018 18:17:25 +0000 -- Import of version 2923 of site Enterprise Security completed successfully

compared with:

Thu, 25 Jan 2018 07:27:15 +0000 -- Beginning DB import of version 2922 of site Enterprise Security
Thu, 25 Jan 2018 08:10:52 +0000 -- Import of version 2922 of site Enterprise Security completed successfully

B) I also noticed that my tablet seem to be unsubscribed (condition was OS contains “Win”), which also surprised me.

Footnote: the BESGatherDB runs at 100% CPU

p.s. - not complaining - just mentioning. If it remains a problem for me I’ll just remove the site.

Update: the 1024 GatherDB time is ‘normal’ (for my system times) again:

Sat, 27 Jan 2018 11:49:56 +0000 -- Beginning DB import of version 2924 of site Enterprise Security
Sat, 27 Jan 2018 12:29:58 +0000 -- Import of version 2924 of site Enterprise Security completed successfully
