Good Grief Charley Brown.
I just spent the better part of week getting my computer, my printer/scanner and my sound system working again after putting off the last batch of Windows updates.
I’m just not ready for another batch of changes. It may well reverse a week of hard work on my part.
Saving bump.
I’ve been reading that some of the more recent windows 10 updates are not compatible with some computers. MS will endlessly try and fail to do the update.
The reason I ask is I've had my Win 8 machine offline for a little over three years and may soon get DSL and reconnect and want to be prepared for what might happen when Microsoft sees my machine again. Terabytes of updates? BSoD?
Typical anti-Windows BS. We will immediately update all our company and personal computers with confidence. Have never had problems with most versions and don’t expect any now.
I have already set the network settings on my home machines to “metered connection”, after I had to uninstall the last new build Windows 10 put on my machines on 9/27. I am NEVER looking for “new features” in Win 10, just basic functions that work well and that’s it.
I am working on my new computer daily to try and correct the problem caused by an update on Win 10 home on Sept. 17th. Apparently the file got corrupted and my computer cannot start and run properly. It just runs so slowly that it is a piece of expensive garbage. I had to resurrect an older computer to work here.
I finally got in the new computer today after a several hour delay while it continued to run something in the background (i think it was the update file) I found the reset option and decided to wipe it clean and reinstall.
It’s now at 15% in the reset process. Wish me luck.
