Windows 10 problems

video and audio lag is spectacularly annoying and the mouse lag is right there with them. Ive been dealing with for last month..what do i do ?

This May/June update (2021) Has made both Corsair iCUE and Asus Armoury crate unable to detect my motherboard for RGB use. I have tried rolling back, reinstalling the software, clearing the CMOS and pretty much anything I can find on the internet to solve this and it’s not worked. Please look into this as looking at constant unicorn barf is getting old. Cheers guys.

Well, now I can’t do much. Because every few minutes my system lets me know with an alert box that can’t be closed or minimized, aka “always on top”. that a critical error has caused my start menu to fail. And I need to sign out. But windows will let me know what happened and try to fix it. Well. I know windows isn’t going to let me know what happened. So, I’m trying to figure out wtf everyone was doing we’re just looking at it.

Hey, Microsoft great timing. Now, What the hell did your update do to my computer?

I updated the latest Windows Update for Windows 10…then Firefox came up with some updates…I don’t know what’s going on but I HATE IT!!!! The spacing is horrible…I start to type something into the search bar below that is below FireFox logo in the the middle of the webpage and it takes me up to the search bar at the top of the page where everything that I’ve downloaded that starts with the first letter of what I’m typing appears!!!!!!! ANNOYING! How can I undo the update or fix this problem otherwise I’ll have to switch to something else. Oh, and on one of the boards it says to type “about:config” yeah well that wasn’t much help cuz I was liked caught up in a loop and then typing “browser.proton.enabled” wasn’t much better!

Disaster with Windows updates. Two yrs ago an update wiped out my system
It cost $300 to have it reinstalled. This week my system freezes, boots extremely slow, makes a stuttering sound I’ve never heard before. I’ve lost business time trying to troubleshoot, but that isn’t functioning either. What the hell? The last update was may 27 2021. I hate Microsoft. Next tablet will be Apple.

I installed an app called WUB.EXE (windows update blocked). It disables the windows update services and particularly the windows update medic service. Much better now.

Lately I noticed that the windows update medic service was regularly disabling my antivirus and replaced it with windows defender *without my consent*. I view this as an attempt by MS to impose their crappy windows defender to everybody, and one of the reasons I use WUB now

Last night it said microsoft edge was not available any longer, this a.m. computer won’t go past dell screen?

Latest update (downloaded 2021-05-18), took hours, ran slow the entire day, when I went to shut-down, I saw there was an update and applied it before shutting down. Starting today, after 10 minutes of a blank screen, I forced it off, turned back on, and waited, and waited, and waited, after 15 minutes it finally said the update was 83% done, yet I told it to apply before shut-down the day before.

Finally booting, the icons and all text were jibberish, I forced rebooted it (the screen wasn’t laid out the same, though the menus worked, the start button was missing, there was an X where the Start Button should be). It went into repair mode, tells me I’m missing something I need to use to accomplish the repair, and now, thanks to Microsoft, my computer is bricked.

I’m looking into Linux, I’ve had it with the MS Tyranny.

There is a simple, 100% guaranteed fix that takes just 15 seconds. Go to Amazon and buy a Mac.

Win 10 updated last night 16th April. This morning I knew something was up when I started my PC, the icons in the task bar took eternity to appear. My Edge browser has disappeared and the new version is not installed. Tried system restore, but that froze, force stopped the PC. Preparing Automatic Repair started on reboot but that froze so I performed another hard shutdown. What rubbish Win 10 is, I’ve spent the entire afternoon getting my PC to boot correctly

After last night’s update pc won’t go to Password screen. Any ideas.

I’m a game dev, and none of my games are working after I installed the last two updates. I can’t test any of my games now
thanks microsoft lol

Had problems with my pc, had to have it cleared an Windows 10 re-installed. Now can’t get access to Talk21 email account- can anyone assist?

Jealous of the people who have found they have lost files…..I can’t even get mine to open anything to see if I have or not. Browsers less than useful including Firefox which I had to install when Google became unusable by itself, now apps don’t open or crash completely, even Microsoft games like solitaire and jigsaw are vertually unplayable ever since they FORCED the last update on me…..I don’t even have the patience to see if I can go back to a previous version. I’m on 1909 as and that’s not even by choice after they forced it on me I was happy with 1903. If they think I’m even going to try 20 they can think again. Planning on going back to Linux at this rate. As of 6th of April I got here on my hubby’s phone looking for help. Not finding any so far.

I have two computers running continuously. The 4-year old one never, ever falls over, but the other, 3-months old, fails at least once every two days with, “Your PC has run into problems”. It always starts again perfectly – but it now reminds me of those early “blue screens of death” where you had to be sure to save your work every few minutes or risk loosing it. Progress? Hardly.

I have been running my PC to dual boot, 1 up to date Windows 10 installation and 1 older one.
Reason being that I got annoyed that after every update my network settings were messed with.
So, I installed a version from before Microsoft broke it and disabled updates.
Well last night it updated itself and just 10 minutes ago I went to my TV to stream a movie from my PC and 4 shared drives had vanished, just like before.
I go look at advanced sharing and sure enough, they’ve taken the liberty to again turn on password protected sharing!!!
I don’t need that nor do I want it!!
My network is wired in my house no one other than me has access.
To setup what I want all I have ever done is go to the relevant drive/Properties/Shareing and name the drive then share it.
Now even if I go to My Computer and click the Network tab, this PC and its drives does not appear.
What the hell have they done and why???
Microsoft nor no one else know better than I do, regarding the functionality and safety of my own private PC and network.
So so annoying.
I think this time I’m going to install Windows 7 on that partition and totally block any updates ever.

The March Windows 10 updates has disabled the Background Scrolling feature. I checked Settings > Devices > Mouse > Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them, and it is ON. I cycled it OFF, then ON, and the Background scroll still does not work.

Dell Precision M6800 Workstation; 32 GB RAM running Windows 10 Pro; Version: 20H2; 03/09/2021; OS Build 19042.867

These March 2021 updates have my Lenovo IdeaPad5 freezing up on a random basis and several times a day. I have tries uninstalling updates and using restore points but nothing to date has worked. Today, my saved Restore Points have all vanished.

Updated win 10 mar 19, 2021. Colors now trashed. Some things not working on Dell inspiron

battery probs on two computers..one sent away..now on my second computer was on charge all morning and battery lowbattery light came on once and i have red x on the battery and minimal charge,,this is a pristine computer hardly used wtf is going on?

Hi, If you get any issues regarding get newer version notification or similair then make sure you have added your win 10 oem number to you hotmail/Outlook account and then you can safely download latest win 10 via media creation tool for win 10 to usb drive and when its completed the creation tool then select via boot order-usb and follow on screen intructions – when you go in to windows for first time log in to your pc with e-mail details for you account and win 10 will auto-activate. some issue can not be resolved by us or you it is a waiting game from microsoft to resolve, but some issues can be fixed by you and me. Please try if you can or if computers lets you to back up!!!!! any photos etc, so you can safely get them back, if you are unable to boot up then remove hdd and put into a external carriage and see if you can explore it via another machine,( via usb) then remove any files you want to keep and then put fresh win 10 ( latest ) . There are many solutions for win 10 but some may not work due to mircosoft needs to resolve. If hardware suddenly fails or starts having issues then try removing driver/s and then re-installing lastest driver/s should help for some. If in doubt Youtube !!!!! its ideal for stuff like this!!!!!!!!

Not sure how to run or use win 10 go to Youtube, good free help.

My “update” has caused color problems on web sites and a cross stitch pattern I use that has been wiped of colors of floss and the chart won’t highlight the symbol I want to stitch but will list the number of the two floss colors that are used for that symbol. My game app (IWon) is fine. Web sites also have text in white boxes. I’ve tried other browsers..same prob. Uninstalled and installed the up date several times, same prob. I have run a dx on just about everything I can find including the graphics card…zero problems found.

Anyone else experience this with the latest update? After rebooting all desktop files and icons as well as taskbar icons were gone. As if with a new installation of windows. Upon searching I found my UsEr still active in Local Disk C:/. It is as if a side account was created on my pc. No files whatsoever in my documents, download. Upon rebooting and signing in again with my pin it still was the same. Then I decided to sign in using my password and low and behold…back to normal. Going to restart again and see if the pin brings me back to my original desktop

The new update screwed up my mouse, the light is on on it but i cant use it

Today’s update destroyed our new laptop. It shut down and will not work. Not even a factory reset would restore it. Its own built in repair system couldn’t fix it! Like I don’t have enough to deal with

What was the win10 update 1/28/2021?

Some applications will not start unless run as administrator, otherwise it will go into a zombie mode were the application won’t start but won’t close either, and even end task won’t shut it down, also explorer has lots of issues, freezing, not refreshing, I spent 3 minutes just to create a new folder and rename it.

win 10 froze last night when idling on a clock application wit the screen active. Later i found out that a new update has arrived and as usual the system hangs.

Most recent update affects my screen. Once it goes to sleep you cannot wake it up and have to power reset to regain access. I changed the setting to NEVER for the screen to sleep upon inactivity and so far this is helping.

Everything I try to do in the horrible microsoft abortion called windows 10 gives me fits. I spend hours downloading files then windows either won’t allow me to work with them, or, simply deletes them for no reason. I’ve gone so far as to disable all virus software including the notoriously defective Defender app but Windows 10 still either destroys my files or renders them useless. Does anybody have a fix that actually works????

My laptop had Win 10 installed when I bought it 2 yr ago. I
installed win 7 card games ’cause I prefer them to recent ver. They
worked fine for ~ 2 yr. In Jan came update attempts which failed.
In Feb came a new window re. Updates which I kept putting off until
later. A few days ago the update window from hell finally caught me
asleep and installed itself without my authorization. So my biggest
complaint that I’ve discovered is that all those comfy card games
which fill my lonely hours DON’T WORK. Solitare.exe,
spidersolitare.exe, freecell.eve, etc. just sit there [ they were
removed from the listings in the start menu ]. Attempts to fix the
issue with the compatability troublemaker consistently yielded an
error window. I found a backdoor into the compatability
troublemaker that actually attempted to fix the issue – said it did
and I should try it – I did that a few times and then tried
hopefully to run the games all to no solution – still no action.
In the compatability troublemaker there seems to be no further
option if the FIX didn’t work, so I was left frustrated. I
downloaded the repair tool suggested above – restoro.eve – ran
that and still no progress. I happened to run McAfee AV which then
reported numerous files in restoro that needed quarantine, so I
uninstalled that.

I am so fed up with Microsoft I could scream! Since the last update, I have to login to my MS account, into my Bing account, re-do my search settings, and sign into my Disqus account every time I restart my computer. This is infuriating. I am fed up with MS updates. Has anyone else experienced this?

i guess microsoft too busy working on new XBOX so “the bird” to all PC users, cuz what else we gonna use… linux? LOLL haha… really any suprise.. remember forcing win 10 on windows 8 weather you wanted it or not. and the constant forced super long to download and install mysterious updates… what could we do about it then, NOTHING. what can we do about win10 crashing now in 2020… PANIC, irrationally panic and be very very afraid.

I first checked updates and there were none since January, except Firefox.
My computer is crawling. Last night worked fine. No idea why Windows and FF are so slow today. Taking forever to load W10 programs and also internet. Quite strange, especially if there were no W updates. Maybe check again…

I thought I had always had the latest version of windows because I have automatic updates on. However, I found I did not have the latest. I updated manually because the updates website stated I already had the latest version????? Now, since updating, my mouse has got a mind of its own. Highlighting items, opening other windows, jumping all over my screen. I read about similar problems 2 years ago in another forum but I haven’t had any problems until this latest upgrade. What is the safest version to go back to to reverse these problems that microsoft can’t seem to fix??

2 of 3 computers won’t sleep -they shutdown and yes –we have reverted power to default settings, set them up again, and they still shut down. Clicking turn off hdd to never doesn’t stick; it reverts to 0. Go figure. Frustrating!

twice now, I have fixed Win 10 connectivity issues, by changng the Power Management of my ethernet device to prevent them deciding to disconnect when Windows decides I should not continue to use the interrnet.

NOW, after updating overnight, WIndows has introduced another, well hidden, issue that causes my connection to fail at random intervals, with the useless troubleshooter failing to resolve or deicover the ussue, determined that my cabling is suspect which, by swapping it out, I know it is not.

This is only a Windows issue, as all my Android devices work perfectly, with no interruptions in connectivity.

Also, Windows STILL has not produced an update to allow my perfectly serviceable Dell PC to connect over WIFI.

after windows 10 update this morning (4 Sep 2019) windows search function from start menu doesn’t function at all. Not sure what else is wrong as it is now a complete pain in the ass to navigate to the various apps and programs I need. Also very slow startup to the point I though that my fingerprint login function was borked as well.
Really angry with MS yet again – Windows 10 updates are a complete fiasco – i had to have 3 laptop rebuilds last year and 2 so far this year. This is a brand new top of the range laptop and i really don’t want anyone having to get under the bonnet this early in its life. My previous laptop was rebuilt to dual boot with Linux which saved my sanity on two calamitous W10 update failures but unfortunately I am tied to MS Excel otherwise I would have waved Windows goodbye for ever already

windows updated automatically and now curser keeps going to start and up pops the start screen. This happens constantly and is driving me nuts. I have lots of work to do for my charity and it takes so long to keep resetting to my previous version of windows 10. This is how I am able to enter this text. No doubt overnight it will update automatically and I will have to reverse it again. HELP

Updated automatically and now any new USB devices I plug in aren’t even rcognised, even after removing the drivers and reinstalling them.

Windows 10 just updated yesterday and now my PC does not completely shutdown. I am left with all the lights, etc still on and have to switch off manually.

The 6-14-2019 windows 10 update, 64 bit started with no sound (little red x on the icon) and it appears the update has removed the drivers for audio 9 so stated in my review of the update), laptop troubleshooting reporting ‘no audio output device is installed’ and none of the old fixes work from previous updates. Worked thru HP support for previous issues just like this as well as HP troubleshooting and nothing works.

i had blue screen of deaths

Have had a laptop for just over a month. This morning I saw a message asking if I wanted to install updates or delay. Needing to work, I selected a delay. Shortly after that I tried to start the Bash for Windows app. After a long delay, Windows said it had encountered an error and had to reboot. However, it stated it had encountered a problem rebooting. After a couple iterations of re-trying that, I went into “Advanced Options” and restored (to a save point from yesterday). However, same thing – attempting to reboot just let to a screen saying there was a problem, did I want to reboot or try Advanced Options. Suggestions?

The latest update came with a lot of drivers to update as well…My trackpad stopped working. When I restarted the laptop, it went to automatic repair mode but the system restore doesn’t work. And now…my computer is dying. Anyone having the same problem?

Oobesystemsmultipage msg in window. no desktop. can’t access anything. Toshiba Qosmio A70/75 Win 10 64 bit

just had a forced(?) restart for update and now task manager and settings are not working. The former doesn’t open at all and the later won’t load past initial screen

one off the biggest problems is apps they are not properly ready.
Another is products that ship with windows, example groove.
A good example of a rubbish app.
It want’s internet access to show you stuff you don’t want ,, and last time I tried it, I couldn’t turn this function off.
Also it’s not as good as WMP. (which they are slowly making less useful by reemoving features).
Another the installed apps. Several cannot be uninstalled without more knowledge.
All apps should have an easy way to remove them.
It’s easy to write a 2000 word essay about the bad, but you would struggle to do the same about it’s good points.
IT may improve when they fully integrate windows with linux or even better take the best bits from all 3 and make a
winlinmac operating system

14 hour’s after reaching 56% install of latest KB for Win 10 version 1703 to be followed (I presume) of update to 1709 after blocking version 1803 updates back in the Spring, get Acer logo + BIOS key’s, Windows logo then Welcome message IMMEDIATELY followed by Restarting. This goes non stop for 72-75 hour’s before pulling plug.
Acer AZ1620-EW30P with 1 TB SATA HD 4 GB DDR3 RAM All-in-One desktop. Showed some KB file Patch Tuesday along with an update to 1709. Wireless mouse & keyboard.
Have tried EVERY POSSIBLE FIX SO FAR. Acer tech had nothing new. So far no post online that small Android phone can find worked. Is no family can get help from. No friend’s with computer. Repair DVD & USB failed/erased. No exaggeration: tried EVERYTHING!! Is no way past initial Boot sequence. NO button combinations so far worked. BIOS can access but is setup to stop there. Not changed after disconnected inside’s including battery. No access to CMD let alone recovery so far. Not even sure if was KB or version 1709 update that stalled at 56% but 1000% SURE WAS NOT 1803 as was checked prior to hitting accept.
After initial wait of 14 hour’s after watching display of 56% installed, PC restarted on it’s own & just sat for next 14 hour’s showing only power light. Tried leaving alone after power reset & left it on for next 72-75 hour’s with no change.
Trying initial recovery step’s after powered back on gave me current state. NOW WHAT?!?

Just installed the new Win 10 update, my computer is dead, won’t even turn on, power button flashes 3 times after pressing then nothing…..any help out there

my gateway windows 7 went out on me. I plan to have restored. I
love that laptop. tons of memory and dvd cd player recorders. I had
to go out a buy a cheap laptop for internet and email etc…it’s a Dell
and seems like a nice small laptop but has no memory except
for the garbage already installed which I uninstalled most and still
no memory and windows 10 keeps telling me I need space even
though I didn’t add any files and now update is giving me issues.
I haven’t had this thing but 2 weeks. it’s not the Dell. it’s windows 1o.
I hate that mcafee comes installed. I prefer windows defender but
I can’t get the damn thing uninstalled. I’m going to just pay to get
my old laptop restored which if I bought new would cost 1,ooo +
and had windows 7. windows 1o sucks.

My computer was fine when I went to bed then woke up to a blue screen asking me what keyboard I wanted. Choose USA and then a tiresome loop started. Took it finally to a tech repair service and it cost me 100.00 to fix it. SO THANKS A LOT MICROSOFT FOR COSTING ME $100.00. LEAVE my computers alone, or ask first.

I updated last night before I went to bed. I go to get on in the morning and I cannot get on at all. It always takes me to a screen asking me about keyboards, I do so then it takes me to a screen that says to restart or other options, no matter what I do, I can’t get past that point.

My computer died on Sunday after the “HELPFUL” update. I had to pay for a new hard drive. My computer is a little over one year old. Since you get to update without my permission and this is supposedly your property, then I want you top pay for the fix. This is expensive and a huge unnecessary pain redoing everything.

I have 2 external hard drives, they are both stuck at drive (D:) (D:) two drive letters. I go to disk management to fully clear them and than make a new drive letter. That’s suppose to work. But when I asign any drive letter backup settings still says (M:) (M:) two drives letters whatever I set it as. I do the disk management again and clean the hard drive external out, I put a new driver letter and it’s still double. WTF? This is crap Microsoft!

Automatic update created partition on hard drive that wasnt there before. Steam app no longer works and all saved games gone. Pathways to run programs disrupted. I have used Microsoft my whole life. This is unforgivable. I have assembled computers before, and have a fair working knowledge of PCs. After this experience on my desktop and now my laptop I will not use any more Microsoft products. I am furious, and my only recourse is to take my business elsewhere, and convince as many people as I can to do the same.

Windows updated over weekend. Today I restored to pervious version. My touch screen stopped working in Chrome with the new update. My P7 Lenovo slowed way down with the new update. Did they have any beta testing done or is this the best they can do with beta testing?

The latest April update killed my HP desktop. It won’t start. There is nothing wrong with the hardware. Nothing can be done. I tried everything. Windows can’t revert to old version. I need to remove the hard disk and copy all the relevant files. And then I must reinstall Windows. Microsoft has serious problems. I am thinking of all the hapless people who only have one home computer, or all those whose work computer is killed this way. This sort of thing will wreck their nerves.

My HP desktop is showing an error screen this morning. Said it was looking for repairs, but then said to restart or use Advanced Options. Restart did nothing. Trying to go back to old versions of Windows wouldn’t work. Now it is telling me to reset my computer but I will lose all apps and settings. This is my home business computer. Help!

My laptop doesn’t start after Windows 10 updates on 14 Feb. I searched online for solutions and followed start-up repair, command, reset back to previous point but none of them worked.

Now I am going to bring it to professional tech guys to repair. I am scare of any update from Microsoft in a fear of causing me expenses for repair. I have been trying to fix it for over 12 hours and my frustration is equivalent to 10 mega ton nuke and I want to eliminate Microsoft from the face of the earth. You can imagine how angry I am. This is the second time having problems caused by Windows 10 updates.

Microsoft should stop Windows 10 and give Winfows 8 free download. It shouldn’t release any product before it matures or give guarantee that any expenses caused by such event will be paid by Microsoft.

F**k Bill Gate!! Clear your own company’s ethic before you do pityful charity work to make yourself look hood artificially.

My computer has essentially frozen this evening Feb 13 2018 with a constantly running hard drive and excessively slow processing. No warning screen announcing the update, just awful performance.

I launched task manager…but it too was horribly slow, but I was finally able to click restart…then the warning came up that windows was updating and warned not to shut down.

Finally after about 10 minutes it said “restarting” but still took minutes to shut down and restart.

With luck, perhaps it will now work.

Windows did an auto update last night (2/8/18) on my laptop and took forever. When PC starts, the screen is shaking, the start menu has disappeared, and each time I try to repair it with suggested Microsoft fix tool, I get an error message that says I don’t have permission. SO frustrating! Trying to troubleshoot it from work PC now. Any suggestions???

Incoming emails: I can no longer click on items on the title page of a message; they don’t open to the information. Instead, clicking on anything takes me back to my mail. Same goes for not being able to view all of the text in an email thread. Clicking to view the full text of a message – either one that I wrote, or another person in the thread sent, just takes me back to the main page of my email.
If I go to SENT mail, the same thing happens.

I have had 3 issues in the hours after this update. This is unusual. It seemed like a major update taking over an hour on my SSD drive high speed 1st gen. I7 desktop:
1) Paypal-can’t “transfer” money.
2) WD TV Live Plus not working
3) Printer stopped working

1.The function keys on my HP envy laptop do not work like volume screen brightness etc – worked yesterday before update now nothing have to do it with software on screen. 2. Icons have become blank that represent file types. 3. At first my alpha keys were acting as hotkeys – rebooted ad that issue went away – very frustrating

Facebook is still having problems today. Trying to access groups..And if I try to post on my own Facebook page I can not..I can not access messenger now..I came across where Window 10 may be a problems

After update ran, on reboot I get a bluescreen asking for keyboard layout. After that I get a menu with loading or repair options for Windows 10 and “Windows Rollback”. Can’t find any previous versions. All choices lead back to the same keyboard menu. No apparent way out of this loop and can’t find backup discs afte move.

Windows 10 latest update has been trying to automatically load itself without success for several days. The one that started last night continued its trek today but only succeeded in wiping my files, photos, installed programs, etc completely from my computer. Links have nothing to link to and even the windows button does not respond. This last Microsoft debacle tops all I have seen. No virus has caused this much havoc in the 30+ years I have been depending on computers.
What happened?

My update hit this afternoon. Didn’t lose any files, but no internet to include mail. Some games have their graphics hosed and the windows button in the lower left is unusable. I have to exit windows through the Task Manager. It disabled my system restore and wiped my restore points. What in the h3ll could Microsoft have done to screw this up so bad. Did they release an update or a virus!? I did find a 23Gb section that reads, previous installation. How to I activate this.

slowed down my pc with also the problem of some of my games not working and also a program that wont work as well as it did tired of updates and also the extra use of hd space will be going back to windows 7

Windows login problem.

This morning….after “Updates” about two days ago.
1)not connected to Wi-Fi…needed to restrart and /or troubleshoot and reconnect from settings…REPEATEDLY.
2) A program is pinned to startup that shouldn’t be…..can probably fix this one.

Windows login problem.

War Thunder and Eternal Crusade, especially Eternal Crusade have in-battle lag and twitchiness. War Thunder also glitches up my PC some when the launcher is opened and it’s impossible to be effective in-game with Eternal Crusade. I’m afraid of running any other 3D games. At least GMod is fine….

It has removed all of my installed programs and Chrome without warning, how are they allowed to get away with this? I wont be buying any more MS products in a hurry.

It shuts down. Multiple times, as if it’s in sleep mode, even when I’m in the middle of things. I’ve also had to twice fix the issue of no internet. I’m sick of fixing stuff every time there’s an update. What’s your problem???

The game i play worked fine until today’s update nothing had changed with my pc apart from the update the game doesn’t crash but disappears yet it is still running the processes

Windows has been shutting down on us without warning on multiple computers and laptops. It gives a text and blue screen that says there is an error. Also, since the Windows update, my laptop slowed down 10 or even 100 times. I fricken hate Windows. Considering switching to Apple if they don’t fix it soon. Every day we get another Windows update request with the necessity to restart the computer. Ughh… Fix it, Bill! Or you will lose us as a customer. All the dozens of hours we wasted that we could have been doing something useful…

Took an age to complete the install….like 4 hours. Touchpad didn’t work so re-installed driver. i5 laptop is now running very, very slow…..do I not like this ?

The december 2017. update uninstalled my NOD32 Antivirus (wouldn’t let me install it again even after disabeling all windows protection), it uninstalled Microsoft office, Windows live mail, Java, all my Active cards (for net-banking and stuff). All programs were licenced and legal. Horrible. I had to reinstall Windows, but couldn’t do it from the original CD (it got stuck in a loop) so had to do it from another computer. I don’t want to see another update for as long as I live. It was my work computer. The only thing that wasn’t deleted was my facebook account….

Update this week deleted all pictures and documents on my hard drive. It also deleted Chrome and all bookmarks. It will not let me restore my previous Windows 10 prior to update.

Windows 10 updated this morning – afterward it was locked up, so I rebooted. Since that I cannot use the computer – after I sign in at the login screen, it tries to bring up the desktop, I see it for a second, and then it reboots the desktop (not the computer, just the desktop). This happens over and over without end.

I bought a wide screen monitor, but the resolution won’t adjust. I don’t know if it’s the monitor or the update of Windows 10 over the weekend that gave me problems where I didn’t have sound for a day. I really don’t know what it is. I installed the software and I’ve tried just about everything.

After the update, I’m getting crashes in all my music players, I had to re-install my sound drivers, but that was just to get *any* sound to play. Getting really tired of MS. I want better options without being told I must buy a Mac.

How did you go back? My start button doesn’t work!

Since Nov/Dec 2017 windows 10 update, sign in page no longer shows auto
sign in strip automaticaly, now you have to initiate it, then to be
informed “did you forget your pasword”. Also iTunes no longer works
correctly,you can no longer access your Library of music. Is it time
windows software engineers went on a retraining exercise, each time
there is an update more things cease to work, I’m starting to dread
windows updates

Why does my computer keep saying Activate Windows on bottom left of screen even though i have been using pro for year and a half?

After update, screen was totally unreadable—looked like hippy t-shirt designs from the 60’s—went back to previous build, all is ok

I am having the same problem! I thought i was the only one. I hope someone knows how to fix it.

updated windows 10 yesterday (version 10.0.16299). Skype freezes…then blue screen…then windows auto reboots pc. Skype version 12.9.604.0. Impossible to ge through to Skype support. I finally got through to 2 different Windows 10 support agents who each gave me 2 different phone #s for Skype support. One took me right back to windows support (800) 936-5700 and the other # 855-425-3768 does not work.

Please just chat Microsoft and have them login to your computer. I just chatted them, they logged in and fixed my issues at 7 am Sunday morning. I have finals to study for that are on Tuesday, so just lost hours of time due to updates hijacking my computer and then I could not get it to turn and or boot up. Had a little pixelated square in the middle of the screen that would not go away, search bar did not work but they fixed it. Their timing is impeccable, Always a major “hose my computer” update right before a test. I have had them login for free many times to fix my computer and it works.

The last update have made a new user account on my computer, and I can’t even switch over to my previous user account where I have all my files and pictures. I have lost all my desktop icons, and browser settings and bookmarks are all gone. I called Microsoft today, but they refused to help me. Microsoft is not interested in their customers, all they greed for is money. This really sucks!!

Help! My computer is supposedly doing updates, but the circle has been spinning for just at an hour now. Will it ever finish? I need my computer up and running today for business!

I have a white dotted horizontal line across the top of my screen plus my screen keeps flickering as if i am touching right hand side of mouse.

I just have the screen distortion issues….I need the issue fixed to use my Adobe programs accordingly

I spend somewhere between 5 and 8 hours a week waiting for Windows to fix itself, automatic repairs, after Windows 10 sits itself down all surprise-like. Never a welcome situation when I’m charting for my nursing job racing a deadline. Costs me a little pay here and there, but seriously, 2017, and Microsoft is still trying to figure out how to have a solid and stable operating system? My advice is that if you depend on your computer for professional reasons or your job, try or stick with Linux or Apple.

By God I hate Microsoft! Updated Windows 10 today and half my programs stopped working and I had to reinstall them!

my problems is about my recognicion camera, after everysingle update from windows 10, it appears that the camera wouldnt turn on correctly, is a pain in the ass, because all the drivers are up to date, however it keeps saying that there is something wrong going on, coulnt turn on the camera. Why do Microsoft decide to do this types of updates, without having test it on other computers, and just throwing it out for the costumers, please have a Good beta test for anysingle update that Microsoft have incoming.

My monitor is all screwed up. The desktop is stretched and magnified. I can adjust browser size with Control/scroll, no problem, but my monitor is back to 1995 proportions. It’s awful. Icons outside of the working area refuse to work. I’m so frustrated and really hating on Windows 10 yet again. I can understand why people go postal.

I am having the same problem with my screen being stretched and font blurry this has only happened since windows did an update on Thursday evening 23 November 2017 and I cannot resolve this problem 🙁

Nov. 22 update has screwed up my screen aspect ratios. Squares are now rectangles and pictures are short and fat. Three hours on line with Microsoft this morning with no solution. Upgrade crashed on the reboot and returned to the mess installed yesterday.

New update no longer recognizes my video card. Now my monitor is showing Generic PNP and has a very low resolution. I have updated all driver. (Most won’t let me update and say either it already is updated or a driver is not necessary.)

My entire task bar stopped working and task manager wont open. The start menu also doesnt work

I updated my computer and ever since all my computer does is show me the your computer has run into a problem screen and reseting it wont work restoring it wont work basicaly nothjng will work.

After update I can not run 3D games, as GPU runs at 100% which reduces FPS by about 50% of what it was yesterday.

After my Windows 10 was updated on Nov. 17, I tried to watch an event on watchespn.com streaming video. I have done this routinely for the last six months. The HDMI image on the TV was too large. I tried to re-size it using the “Pojection” selection on the “Settings” panel but only suceeded in loosing the image on my PC and still could not re-size the HDMI image. Now, whenever I connect the HDMI cable to the PC. I loose the PC image. I can get it back when I disconnect the HDMI cable but I can’t get an image on both PC and TV simultaneously. Thanks a lot Microsoft! Don’t you guys test these updates before they’re released? Thanks to this update I’ve lost my ability to video stream!!!

Since the latest Windows 10 Update, I am having problems sending e-cards through the Jackie Lawson site. I have started having these problems since the end of October and even after the “Fix”, I still can’t send my e-card…

I keep getting the pop up asking if I wanted to turn on sticky keys, I am not even at my computer and it happens. Quite a lot.

Since last windows 10 update my HP desktop shuts down after sleep mode and can’t wake up. Have to physically power off and on several times. How to fix?

I turned my laptop on at 11.35am today, and since then it’s been upgrading, three times its gone to black background with my icons on it tells me that there is a problem with some programs. I at first and second just put X, then 2nd time I pressed ok and in each instant goes straight back to the “Hi we are updating this may take several minutes” it’s now 14.26 and still upgrading…… Do I stop it? Help please.

My game stuttering is worse after the fall update, along with browsers ceasing to respond, and other performance issues.

My system did an update yesterday which looked like it was a major update. after 12 hours it gave me a blank screen then after 5 mins turned off. When I restarted I ended up with a message update failed to complete restart update. After several attempts with the same result I tried to do a system restore only to find out it had deleted all of my restore points. I tried to do a reset with the same end result. I am now on my 3rd attempt to reset which from the looks is going to give me the same failed result. It does look like I am going to have to start from scratch again and try and do a complete clean install which will take me the best part of the week to rebuild the system. I have been up all night and am well and truly peed off

I have Office 365 and Outlook will not send or receive. New Support Tool doesn’t work. Outlook crashes. I am considering restoring to the point before the update! Want to make sure that it would help.

I did the update 3 days ago which took forever as it kept freezing. After the restart most of the apps had disappeared or were unresponsive on the Start screen. Programmes weren’t listed either. Had to Restore which luckily worked. Not good enough. !!

i just did update now task bar icons not working and cant get into settings to uninstall

On a weekly basis I get these pop-up “interruptions“ requesting a shut down to update. I do that, but when the update is loading the process stops at about 85% completed. Then a black screen whh even you let everything go for several hours, nothing occurs. Ultimately I have to mannually shut down the computer, which then restores the previous version. This is an absolute waste of time. I guess the most annoying is that there are no LOCAL telephone numbers to contact and try to fix the problem (I want local service from someone in North America, with whom the English language will not be a problem). I don’t know how Microsoft can get away with such poor service, and yet have a virtual monopoly. Isn’ it time to contact our rpresentatives and demand for action. Isn’t time for a statup company to appear on the scene, and offer a platform that works with Office without the crappy product AND service of Microsoft ?

I turned my laptop on this morning only for it to start updating which it took over an hour to do and since it finished I find bluestacks will not work neither can I download anything. Not music not games not even anti virus software. Come on Bill, WTF??????

Updated 3 hours ago it shutdown after install. I restarted computer because I had to check something, and it won’t start. It is stuck on start up screen. 3 hours later will not start still. I am so worried i will lose everything because I haven’t saved in awhile. What should I do? Will not start…..I can’t afford to lose my computer. I can not afford a new one. Hope it can be fixed. I was looking up receipes turned off it updates. So I chose update n turn off. It did but OMG, it won’t load.

Figured out the problem (for me anyway). You need to run bios setup and make sure your boot drive is the correct drive. Upon updating, windows changed my boot drive from my solid state which houses my op system to my HDD I use for pictures and things. Hope this helps!

My computer just cycles and states it has to Repair and hangs then cycles over and over again

Laptop keeps updating. (Update and close down or update and restart when closing down) then after 100% complete message another message saying unable to install so undoing changes. Takes my laptop out for 20 – 30 minutes each time.

I’m having to hit Ctrl, alt, del every five minutes or so to un-freeze my laptop and a re-boot every hour or so. Mostly with Outlook and Excel. Any suggestions.

win 10 is shit, I want my win 7 back.

I cannot access Microsoft Edge. Everything is working so slowly.

have just finished update now my screen rotation is f***ed. i keep putting it right but it returns back to being on its side every new page and when i close internet. i am typing this with my laptop on its side and getting seriously hacked off in the process. what has microsoft done! i suppose i should be happy that it has not destroyed my laptop completely, but i cannot work like this. also touch screen seems less responsive and mouse doesn’t know where to go!

I need help with a windows 10 update problem. Can I stop update 1703 from trying to automatically install? Because I live in a remote area, internet is very costly for a small amount of data. Every time I go online the update continuously tries to install using up this data at an incredible rate. It’s costing me a small fortune.

I give up. Windows 10 free upgrade never did work.
Leaving the majority of users on legacy hardware out in the cold.
I found my own solution and none of it starts or ends with anything Microsoft.
