Windows 10 freezes after update free download
Maybe we should all file a class action lawsuit against Microsoft. Since the start of February all updates other then Net Framework and Windows Defender cause Edge to crash Firefox works not only does it crash but its frozen in the 8 seconds it stays open with the Restore Last Page tab open. Windows Update crashes also but Programs and Features works and I can remove the update then hide it with wushowhide.
These 4 I know for sure cause these problems: Windows I have not had any of the freeze while updating problems. Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64 Build Same with my desktop. Suddenly would freeze and unable to do anything. Hopefully it would restore back to normal. Managed to repeat update install after rebooting, using Update Settings.
Friday 12th March Still freezing at random intervals though less frequent than yesterday. I have to cold reboot to clear the Hang.
Windows update overnight now hoverover text not working — a blank speach bubble appears but no text, have to click through to site to read. Irritating and time consuming. Everything is wonky!! How can I fix this??? It shut down and will not work. Not even a factory reset would restore it. With my headphones listening to something, it randomnly cuts off and im needing to restart constantly.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Mouse cursor slowed to the point of being unusable. Keyboard also decided to stop working. Uninstalled both updates and fixed the problem. Second one. It is off line again. Plus all kinds of messages cannot find folder, cannot delete, cannot cannot cannot. It is ridiculous. Then when I want to uninstall a program using the Control patter I got a cannot message there too so had to do a manual delete.
I think you owe me a laptop and a printer. Switched on pc today So going to create a boot drive and reimage the pc. What a nightmare. Win 10 is a joke! I swear they do do this to make money, so people call in to pay Microsoft to pay crap they broke. Worked great for a couple months and my computer worked flawlessly!!
Latest Windows 10 caused my pc black screen and no normal start at all. Cannot get into login screen at all.. Windows disappear when move mouse towards them — always been too sensitive but now renders performance almost useless for multitasking. Their latest update crashed my pc. I had to remove power and restart, then windows removed the update. Today, everything attached to my taskbar is acting wonky.
I have no clock. The date has randomly disappeared either partially or fully. At that point it will stop displaying the names of the apps and instead show snippets of whatever text lays on the screen below the slide-up window!
Thus far these are merely minor annoyances, and I can live without all of that functionality; but it makes one wonder what lays beneath the obvious flaws? And that company continues to grow, despite the fact that THIS is the stuff they churn out? I have two laptops with Windows I have had cursor problems with both of them especially playing Windows Store Solitaire and Classic Word…the cursor locks up often.
Could this be causing the lock up in downloaded games from Microsoft store? What else could be causing the cursor to lock or be erratic during playing these two games?
I had a big update yesterday 4th Feb, and another one a day later. The 2nd one has killed my internet on my pc. Can still access internet on my TV. I spoke to my ISP, and they ran me through a few things, something about the ip. Accessing the modem on the computer works intermittently, but results are the same..
Acer laptop will not reboot following latest patch. I usually uninstall the faulty update and wait until bugs have been ironed out before allowing it to install again. Additionally the email address I used when it was set up is no longer operative. Windows Explorer has been crashing for me and causing programs to fail to load or shut down, check in task mgr and see if it as running or crashed, if so restart windows explorer.
My laptop was able to boot but I can not launch anything windows related. I cant launch file explorer or even windows start menu so I cant access the logout or restart button or get into settings.
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. Same here but all you can really do is wait for microsoft to fix this, you can try to remove graphical driver but you will need to use DDU in safe mode and for me now its just turns off but press win key and p gets it back. Was totally locked out of my computer until I got around it by restoring to before the update.
The problem is it covers a part of any active window which is not nice. My PC went from humming to close to a snail instantly. Programs take ages to open, simple webpages freeze. Its a nightmare. I have never had knock on wood..
This runs the various computers I have had too. Nothing, nodda, zero problems. This appears to be to tech savvy users only. I know quite a lot of people with Windows 10 and they can barely turn a computer on or know enough to make it work for what they want. I have never heard any of them complain about any update either.
So this leads me to believe that the complainers want everything perfect and I have news for you nothing is ever perfect. I have been lucky enough not to have any problems. They want all the bells and whistles and a perfect computer. There have been many times that I installed a software that messed up my computer. He proceeded to tell me about this one computer and the trouble it was having.
I asked him if he ran the usual software that might help in locating the problem. The problem I had was it was a pirated copy he had. If anyone he did computer work for got caught with an illegal operating system, WOW. Like I said I know a bit about computers but nobody I know has had a problem where they needed help. In actuality people ask me more about cell phones which I look at but do NOT have one myself.
Windows havent been able to install almost single update since I 1st purchased their own brand Windows surface machine.. They are required for me to let them to take over the reigns of the operating system updates… and yet they cant even do the job.
Everything I try to do in the horrible microsoft abortion called windows 10 gives me fits. Does anybody have a fix that actually works???? Microsoft changed my icons to have little clouds in the left hand corner breaking ALL the links to my icons.
Gee thanks Windows—I want my icons back!!!! Caused me to lose file. Seriously—if windows is going to force an update—then it needs to be flawless in determining if the computer is working already!
So frustrating. My pc is so slow to boot up and then freezes up between applications and I get the windows not responding and the rotating blue circle forever it seems. If updates are this problematical, give us the option to not install it.
I tried to boot windows from a usb key boot loader, but no luck. Any ideas what to do to get my computer working again? My lenovo is literally jumpy! OMG I try to click on anything and it opens up a different window! My PC has almost completely frozen. Everything keeps freezing up over the past few weeks! Nothing helps. Since the Sunday November 15th update my HP laptop is useless.
All of my settings are gone. I thought my files were, too. I really panicked and had to look hard for them. They have been relocated. I personalize my screen and the next day it has reverted to a classic Windows screen. I can no longer print from the laptop to my printer. I am VERY upset!!!. This update is a disaster. It needs to be undone. Windows 10 is not fit to be called an Operating System for business laptop or PC use. Microsoft had no common sense, they should have ironed out the minor bugs with Win7.
If everyone reverted back to Win7 if they cannot handle Linux! I actually now have time to use them as productive devices, instead of having to fix Win10 issues all the time. All you need is a good antivirus installed and block the small amount of CEIP it may run. Now I am Cortana free, MS spyware free, problem free…. I will indicate what line 10 should say with symbols. Somehow this editor keeps deleting from my line Windows 10 updated last night switched on tonight after 20 minutes of a circle going round I got to the login screen only to followed by a black screen and I cant get past it!
I have switched it off forced and restarted still the same so switched it off and walked away. I am SO glad I use a dual boot with Linux and only use w10 when I need to becase it is just absolute rubbish! Never seen that happen before. Any ideas on what caused that? I have windows 10 version , 1 year 6 months no problem. Would it be wise to actually un-plug my desktop to discharge the capacitors.
After the latest up-date, it will not recognize my 2nd monitor which worked like a champ until the update of Oct 7 or so. It always tells me I have the latest driver. Microsoft really screwed us all over this time. What the hell did they do last night? Slower than ME. I would love 7 right now. I am done with windows. After August windows 10 update which totally crashed my computer, I am going with Apple now. More money, but less aggravation.
Windows 10 is worse than Vista. My Toshiba Laptop running Windows 8. I had no restore points to remove the update. My desktop with Windows 10 was not affected following the last update. I cleared all caches, deleted many of my emails Outlook repeated froze the laptop and had to power off to restart.
No improvement. I expect Microsoft might be deliberateiy sabotaging operating systems to sell more products. Yesterday, twice in a row which has never happened. Anyone else with this problem? Microsoft could give us all a free version of windows 8. I needed a new laptop and was forced to buy with windows I have four windows 7 in my house and one windows 8. Windows 7 is our go to. I miss the old days. What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this? Everything is slow, typing is slow usually a word or two behind what is being typed mouse is slow have to click times to get it to open and then opening anything takes secs to register it is opening.
Just writing this took longer than it should waiting for the words to catch up. I have a Lenovo Yoga which was working perfectly at the weekend. Any thoughts would be really appreciated. This totally sucks. I was playing Rainbow Six Siege a while ago and it randomly closed. Maybe on Monday I can find a solution? I was up until 2 am this morning trying every fix suggested on the Internet- using my cell phone that remained connected to my home WiFi, and now?
The Surfacd WiFi just mysteriously started. Just dont get it. My laptop had Win 10 installed when I bought it 2 yr ago. 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. 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.
I downloaded the repair tool suggested above — restoro. I happened to run McAfee AV which then reported numerous files in restoro that needed quarantine, so I uninstalled that.
I can relate but on a separate level. You have problems with the display changing while I have problems with my computer not remembering my login information. It changes whenever I restart my computer. Microsoft is really starting to piss me off too. I hope you get yours figured out. 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. How frustrating. After the late February update my display desktop is a pale blue and the fonts are all over the place in size.
Mostly smaller. The same thing is happening on two desktops in my house, one is a Intel I5 on a Gigabyte mother board and the other is an AMD on a Asus mother board. LOLL haha… really any suprise.. Hi, I did a forced windows update on thursday 13 feb … next morning computer shuts down on start up… sometimes shuts down just after entering passwpassword and sometimes a minute or 2 after windows opens home screen… ddid try and restart in safe mode which did work for a longer period of time… Very frustrating as this is a business computer and it is costing me time… Does anyone know of a reason or have a fix for this yet???
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…. Latest update ended with a black screen, and a box advising that Windows was setting up a personalized experience for something.
With Task Manager, tried to restart Explorer, failed. Tried to log off, failed. Hard reset, Windows started OK. 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. So i found this article cause this morning my computer started freaking out. Turns on 10 seconds then boots over and over and over pls help! I am poor and cant bring it in to get repaired. It auto installed latest windows update this morning. Go figure. The latest forced Windows 10 update sometime mid-Dec really takes the cake.
Way to go, I thought updates were meant to be improvements! Yet another irate Windows customer. We ran into this and found it had created another user or something like that on some of the computers, but not all.
Check users and see if that is what happened. We just worked around for now. Will do fresh install when we have more time. 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.
Over 45, pictures. I had to restore to the point before the update to get them all back. What the heck. Do I even need the update? 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.
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. It is as if anything with any age to it or with file format issues was uninstalled and will have to be redone.
System runs fine but is almost worthless. 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 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.
Did my update last night and today. 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. Update on July 27 made it impossible to get into windows. There is no box for a password or any other way to get into the program.
I tried to get the Dell inspiron desktop to go to safe mode and could not find it. Microsoft should pay to have it fixed. Worked thru HP support for previous issues just like this as well as HP troubleshooting and nothing works. Both of my Surface 3 devices had their charging drivers broken by the most recent Windows update on the 19th.
A friend saw a post about it and said their workplace has been chaos the last week because they also use Surfaces at their clinic and also got the update.
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. 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. I can no longer use a picture to personalize desktop after Windows update January 21, ? The picture option is gone from the desktop background settings menu and I now have a black background.
Did the option move somewhere else or disappear completely? The latest update came with a lot of drivers to update as well…My trackpad stopped working. And now…my computer is dying. Anyone having the same problem? Office inaccessable and has disapeared I get a winword. Oobesystemsmultipage msg in window. What in the world am I supposed to do? How do I get my computer working again? Completely confused by this.
Automatic update last night and now I keep getting strange messages relating to wifi adapters and network discovery. I dont know how to deal with this stuff. Another is products that ship with windows, example groove. A good example of a rubbish app. Another the installed apps. Several cannot be uninstalled without more knowledge.
All apps should have an easy way to remove them. 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.
Apps hang for no reason at all but works in the background. Showed some KB file Patch Tuesday along with an update to Acer tech had nothing new. So far no post online that small Android phone can find worked. Is no family can get help from. Is no way past initial Boot sequence. NO button combinations so far worked. BIOS can access but is setup to stop there. No access to CMD let alone recovery so far. Best advice is call up Acer, or whoever you have a warranty with if you still have one and get it sent off.
My computer did the install just now. I have a Toshiba Laptop running Win 10 that today after latest forced update refuses to see any mouse whether USB, wireless or its own internal touchpad so its effectively unusable. I have a new laptop for a class I am taking, got it brand new in April I was told to do the HP updates that appear on my computer where it has an HP logo, there is a!
I did not want any viruses or anything getting in it, so I did not use it for anything but the class 3 times a week. Now what do I do? Ring up whoever you bought it from, as you probably still have a warranty with them if you only got it in April, and send it off and get it fixed.
SIDE NOTE: There is no reason what so ever to do any of the HP upgrades, all they will do is clog your machine with junk meaning over time you will run out of space on your HDD to save your class work onto, and slow down the running time of your computer as it will want to start all of the HP upgrades upon start of the machine, meaning longer boot times that you will never use and its a way for HP to know what you are searching and where you are if you having ticked the boxes.
So yeah, if someone tells you to do a HP upgrade, ignore it. I have SIX dead laptops, thanks to Win10 updates! Every time another update comes out, we lose another Elitebook p, w, p, mainly to the boot loop problem!
WTF, Microsoft!? Anyone have any ideas for reviving these corrupted machines?? Or any way to get MS to fix the machines they kill?? I plan to have restored. I love that laptop. I hate that mcafee comes installed. After my Windows 7 computer went south, I returned to my Windows 10 system two months ago. One piece of advice that could be helpful is to let the updates do their thing no matter how long it takes; it can take an hour or more.
Turning the computer off or attempting to interrupt it could cause problems. I may have done this in the past. 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 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. This is my issue right now and I am freaking out.
We managed to get it back to the login screen, I forget which one of the options we chose, but we did restartr several times. So I really dont know what to do, it has been stuck there like that for 20 minutes. 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 downloaded update last night and turned off the computer. This morning when I turned it on again, there was basically nothing on my computer which is a Dell Inspiron lap top that was running Windows 10 fine until now.
Now literally nothing on my computer except recycle bin and icons the taskbar that there is no audio system. My computer is about 18 months old and no trouble until this. So much might be list:. 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. But when I asign any drive letter backup settings still says M: M: two drives letters whatever I set it as. This is crap Microsoft! My computer downloaded the most recent updates last night. Today, after two hours, it was unable to complete the installation of the updates. It is still locked up trying to restore a previous version of Windows I have work I need to get done, and this is not helpful.
The sane thing happened to me. Still, I think this is really shoddy work on the part of Microsoft, to have such a shoddy product that people like us are left in a lurch. I did the upgrade last night on my notebook and it is totally chaos. In the morning, it takes another few hours I went out and back home to continue install after reboot. When I back home again, the notebook is shutdown automatically and I thought it is finally completed. Then I turn it on again but it then said roll back to previous windows version, it takes about minutes and suddenly the power is off.
Oh my god, I keep pressing the power button but nothing happen. Seems I need to say goodbye to my notebook now. Could anybody tell me what happens? My computer is almost entirely crashed. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted and then try again. SO… now what? They had been unable to get past the screens that I encountered. Hoping to hear something soon. I am suspecting that the update created a new partition on the hard and the computer is trying to load from it but it is lacking the desktop file… Tomorrow I will check it!
I had that same error message about lacking the desktop file. I just heard back from Staples, and it appears that a number of people have had the same issue. In my case, they have to reset the whole system back to its factory settings. I do hope that Microsoft is seeing these widespread problems, and addressing them for the future.
Sounds like my problem. It takes me back to a blue screen to choose language and when i do it asks if I want to rollback or go to previous version. Nothing worked. 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.
My Outlook account is not working! All in all, the whole PC seems to take almost twice as long to start up and to open programs. 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. There is nothing wrong with the hardware. Nothing can be done.
I tried everything. 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. Now it is telling me to reset my computer but I will lose all apps and settings. This is my home business computer. After the March 14th update, my Chrome browser slowed down to dial-up speeds.
The following day, I received an alert in Windows that told me that Microsoft Edge is much faster than Chrome. I have no interest in even trying Edge, knowing how Microsoft has manipulated their market. Thank you so much for your feedback. BUT, I try again, give n your comments. In other words — they are useless because the path should be c:userdocuments. All iTunes stuff lost, so my playlists and so forth are gone. Very RUDE to remove programs and change everything around for an update.
MAR 18, — I am having problems with chrome opening certain sites, at some point. Do you want to close windows? Then restart and it finally clears up and starts normally. I should have made a video of it. Next time I will. Are they really installing the entire OS? After reading some of the comments on this page. Obviously not been thought through becauase there is an alternative OS out there called Android that causes virtually no problems at all. Downloading from microsoft store now impossible.
Micorosoft suuport say there vis a last option to fix any problems. I have another. Moving over to Android as Microsoft seem hellbent on destroying any customer relations that has not been destroyed up to date from previous updates doing similarvthings to Win I have not used Windows 10 since last year after having multiple problems with updates including losing my entire operating system and endless update loops.
I am using my old Windows 7 computer with updates turned off. It cannot update if is not connected to the internet. This may be a good way for some to deal with the problem. Not sure what to do. Nothing works. Powered off Thurs P M and was fine. Powered back up Sat PM and nothing works. MS screensaver on with time but mouse and keyboard no work. Cannot get login to appear. I had all the problems with windows 10 you could think about , Freezing screen , losing files , you name it i had the problem.
The last straw for me was when it loaded 4 versions of windows 10 on my Desk Top and it just killed the computer completely.
So i sold everything to a person for scrap parts. I bought a Chrome Box off Amazon and had to change the printer as well as they only work with Google Cloud , i can honestly tell you now that i have had not 1 thing go wrong at all, no waiting around for updates or minutes or an hour to start up like it did before as i can get on the internet within 20 sec every single time.
I wish i had done this some time ago as i was getting so angry and frustrated with windows 10 that i was ready to explode. Now hassle free and peaceful using the internet. Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. My priority is to my eBay buyers now after my return from a day on vacation. Anyway—what a hassle.
Thanks again!! Every thing i go on runs very smooth , even my grown up daughter and come off windows 10 since i did and she loves it much better than all the hassle on windows Good Luck. Was working fine before.
Two days of struggling, and eventually have to pay for pro repair!!!!! About time Microsoft took some responsibility for this ridiculousness. After installation, display is darker after every launch and I have to go to Nvidia panel to change display options for Nvidia drivers.
When I tried to go back to previous version of windows Xbox live stopped working can not log in so I had to install back this irritating update. I do not know why this update installed some free games from windows store. Is anybody went back to previous version of windows and have Xbox live working? All my other non-windows devices connect to my router without any issues. Resetting my Win 10 to the previous build as I type this on my Android smartphone..
Windows 10 is too invasive and in your face. The latest update happened while my computer was idle and closed some of my programs. I lost a lot of information between saves.
Keep pushing me to Linux, MS. The latest critical update caused my keyboard and mouse to stop working once I rebooted. Only works in bios and advance repair screen. I have a shop and received 3 desktops today with no USB after update.
I feel for machines without ps2 ports…. All others so far seem to be fine. One of the two I resolved by rolling back to before the update. This morning, the update had already redownloaded and reinstalled itself.
Right back to no USB recognition period. So I rolled it back again, and disabled delayed the updates. Tried to roll back to the restore point prior to the update. Thought that system was fixed until it was restarted. The last update caused my desktop to become unusable. My husband worked with support, and had to reload the whole system. The updates load at times when you are held up from tasks that need to be done.
How can I shut these off? Start menu disappears , reappears after restart…and yeah the slow starts ,and black screens are an issue as well. Totally calamity after the latest big creator update. All rock solid prior to. 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. Hello everyone Got update however i did turn off automatic updates took whole day to install, but after that everything works almost fine. Installed new Nvidia drivers and solved but there is a problem with darker display after every time i turn on the PC. After log in I always have to go to Nvidia driver settings and set monitor colour and brightness setting to Nvidia.
It is getting irritating. I tried to reset the update but after that half of the programs didnt work properly so it forced me to stay on the new update. Anyone have any solution or have similar problem.
It is on PC not laptop. My computer has essentially frozen this evening Feb 13 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.
Tried everything — finally had to take it to a repair place and she had it several days — only solution was to wipe the hard drive and totally reinstall. SO frustrating! Trying to troubleshoot it from work PC now. Any suggestions??? Window 10 is a fraud, everytime it does a upgrade which I have no control of on my Lenovo laptop it cannot be restarted, I have to uninstall everything, reinstall the operating system and reinstall programs and data, I am sick of this crap Microsoft, as you know this is going on, and have known since your windows 8 stuff up.
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. Multiple issues that all trace back to the system being so clogged that it takes minutes for any program to launch and they freeze after a couple of minutes.
Then wait another 2 or 3 minutes after clicking on settings to launch that menu. 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. I did my latest updates for my hp pavilion desktop pc p0xx and the update has caused the entire graphics system to display black as green and white and a bright light pink, all of the other colours are messed up as well.
This effects everything from photos to video. I was able to fix it once by restoring an older version of Windows I did the updates again and now I am back to the dam problem except there dose not seem to be any older versions of Windows 10 that I can revert to now. I need this fixed any help would be greatly appreciated. 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.
Icons have become blank that represent file types. At first my alpha keys were acting as hotkeys — rebooted ad that issue went away — very frustrating. I was on it last night, no troubles at all last month. I go to turn it on today and the fans turn on for 1 second then turn right back off. I have a Ryzen 5 x watercooled with 16 gb ddr 4 and MSI gtx 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. Did anyone else have this problem? After update ran, on reboot I get a bluescreen asking for keyboard layout. All choices lead back to the same keyboard menu. 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.

Windows 10 problems, Jul | Product Reviews.How to recover from a frozen Windows Update installation
If you are resorting to this method, you need to backup your data and recover it when you are done. This is because performing a system restore or a clean install of Windows 10 will automatically erase all data on your PC. Therefore, you should back up your data to avoid major data loss.

Depending on where the files you want to recover are saved, such as a specified location or partition, you should select the location.
The software will scan the partition and search for the lost data. When it completes the process, the result window will pop up. Step 3: Preview and recover deleted files in Windows When the search window pops up, preview the files and restore all the files. Turn off the two Windows Update services and then try to delete the files again. Once the folder has been emptied, either restart your computer or manually turn on the Windows Update services.

Windows 10 is still far from perfect, with users continuing to complain about Windows 10 problems on a daily basis. Microsoft are doing their best to remedy the situation with updates that seem to take place each week, but can they really stop the influx of Windows 10 errors and bugs that keep happening without fail? What Windows 10 problems or errors do you have on Friday July 9, ?
Look out for updates from the PR team during official statements from Microsoft regarding problems and participate in the comments section to troubleshoot effectively. After updating to the most recent version of Win10, I began noticing my wireless mouse pointer would disappear when I first boot up or after the device goes to sleep.
The only way to get it back is to restart the PC. I uninstalled the update and the PC went back to operating normally. But the update keeps getting reinstalled and every time it does, I encounter the same problem. Nothing fixes this. Unbelievable problems in the past week!
Very slow, frozen, MS just took some info from my PC due to a major error and failure they found. Now I cannot get back on!! I am using an old reliable Windows 7 to type this on my old PC!
I cannot access any of my working files so I have resorted to recording my info in a note pad using pencil!! So just to understand this comment page, you write your issues down and none replies? Where can you find help? Whenever I have discord open and no one is talking my computer is fine, but when someone speaks my mouse starts to jump and my sound starts crunching from time to time.
This all happened after the update that added the weather next to the wifi and battery symbols. My apps such as Genshin impact and netflix crashes after 3 seconds of opening it.
I tried to update but when it gets to a security update it fails. I tried downloading from Microsoft catalog and it failed. I completely reset my laptop and it still failed!!!! Come on!!! Forces me to go to the app menu to reconnect to the internet. Also, with no battery indicator, I hav no way of knowing when my battery is getting low.
Where the hell is it? There is absolutely no mention of it on the Microsoft site. Yesterday I opened it and it had an update error. I suspect windows forced its update as the past couple weeks I have suspended the update several times. I tried a hard reset, tried resetting the CMOS, restarted a thousand times but nothing.
Hit power button, ASUS shows then screen blanks. About an hour later a screen pops up asking me for a keyboard language, I click US and it brings up a screen allowing several options like recovery, restore, troubleshooting, etc. I tried all of them but they all say there is a problem with the PC. Around today, my pc suddenly restarted.
After that, it is constantly freezing, even when nothing is opened, no programs are running. Working find Friday Cannot work as the link cannot understand the long pauses and fails at the connection stage.
Even simple things like BBC new will not load. Did break into 1 spreadsheet but that was it. What have Microsoft done my internet provider has checked everything this end. One of the programs I used daily just disappeared— as in the executable file was deleted right after I opened it— for no reason and without warning, twice.
I have not reinstalled it again. One paid program simply will not work at all. Another paid program will not install. The computer is so slow, and it should not be. This is basically making my computer useless. My Dell laptop is basically useless after latest updates. It wont open setting, takes ages to login or open anything and it is getting worse. Trying to shut down bit it is stuck on the shutting down screen forever. Yesterday the laptop was fine and working. It also makes weird audio sounds.
I am angry if MS is messing up our computors it is my pocket and work that is being affected. Update occurred overnight on 28th June, since Tuesday 29th June…My PC takes and hour and a half just to load the desktop. My machine was off for 8 hours and was working fine to that point. When next I turned it on, the sound was up the creek without a paddle. It stopped coming from the Toshiba monitor in stereo and instead is now coming from the tower in mono — a terrible, tinny, horrible sound turning mono off does absolutely nothing.
Highly suspicious that these things occurred while the machine was turned off. I suddenly have a new hard drive after this update today. If this is the beginning of the new 11 system, looks like the road will be bumpy. They can not save my files and all 3 at the same time locked in blue screen loop. One of them is a dollar Spectre that is 6 months old.
This has to be from an update from Microsoft. They should pay for this. Same issue here… 3 days ago i went to play a game and my framerate completely tanked.. I built my computer and poured over into it.. The updates are screwing my computers. I have two hours laptops. I updated both of them and now they are both showing the blue recovery screen and there is nothing I can do to fix it making my laptops. They was acting fine until they force this update my computers and now they completely useless.
I am unable to roll back this latest update made my laptop, unuseable!? My pin is missing unable to create a new one either …. Hi everyone so I updated my laptop to the new Windows updates preview I think it was? Latest Windows update screwed up my Aspire One notebook. It is also no longer possible to install the Intel Driver update software — it gets an unknown error. I will try to roll back the latest updates. I have lost the ability to create sub-folders via Windows Explorer, Plus folders no longer indicate whethet thy contain sub-folders.
I am using Windows 10 latest on an HP desktop. After the latest June update I still have the same problem only worse. Same for Mozilla. The most frustrating thing the update did, ruined my mouse.
The scroll wheel only does speed scrolling so I have to use the keypad instead which is a pain. So I am reopening task manager on average, every 5 minutes. MS already killed my last laptop with garbage updates, and it is on the way to killing this one too.
No customer service at all. I think we should do a class action lawsuit. Waasmedic was the problem a few weeks ago but it is something else now.
MS is dreadful. The only suggestion I can think of is to plug in a keyboard, then go to Device Manager, and at the very top of the device tree will most likely be your computer name. But doing that seems to help nudge it back into using the port that the keyboard is connected to. See if there is any note of conflict or malfunction next to something that may apply to your keyboard. If the keyboard shows up, you can right-click it, and gain insight in the Device Properties.
This can clue you in to possible errors. Because the computer may erroneously having problems with one of those settings. Also, from Device Manager, you can try to Update Device Drivers on your keyboard or port, to see if that fixes the problem. Good luck!

Nothing would repair it — had to do a freaking system restore. What the F Microsoft? Not to mention every blasted update ruins something that has been working perfectly until the update.
