Windows 10 Update and AVAST!... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

My Windows 10 notebook automatically updated a day or two ago, and screwed up my virtual (on screen) keyboard.

All of the automatic functions like first word capitalization, auto-correct, word use prediction - have been turned off.

I've triple checked the settings, and they're all turned on.

I'm completely baffled.

I absolutely abhor Windows 10. Every update breaks my sound and requires doing that over. It keeps rearranging my desktop icons randomly overriding the option I set and it keeps installing some file that uses 100% CPU and I have to disable.

The only upgrade I can see from Win7 to Win10 is increased loss of privacy and increased frustration.

I don’t want apps on my computer. I want software programs.

Eventually, I’ll have to upgrade to Linux to do that, it appears.

Never had a problem with an update. Just miss knowing what’s going on.
The Window system is a “nlack boc” now, but no problems.

Privacy> app permissions = everything was turned on. Turned all off and works fine.

The April update also created disk full errors. People should really hold off on updating until this is fixed.

When I get a PC with Win10 installed, I replace it with Win7 - sometimes Win8.1. Win10 is a dumbed-down, royal PITA disaster version of the Windows OS.

But it’s not April yet.

Windows has a history of problematic updates.

That is one of the reasons I have resisted jumping on the Win10 bandwagon. I did purchase a Win10 tablet a couple of months ago to start getting familiar with it.

[So far, I still hate Win10 — it is frustrating to try to do simple task. Maybe it is the tablet, but when I move the arrow with the mousepad, all applications minimize to the taskbar.]

I do notice occasionally the tablet seems to go to sleep, even though I have all of the ‘do not sleep’ controls set. Usually, the culprit is a Win10 auto-update that apparently tried to restart the machine and failed. So far, I have been able to get the tablet to reload — after several tries of pushing and holding the on/off switch and opening & closing the tablet.

I still use the Win7 desktop and laptop for real productivity. I also have a Linux Mint I a play around with. [Linux does not support FoxSportsGo but it does support NBCSportsGo. Linux is still frustrating. Just recently one of their upgrades slowed the internet connectivity significantly, but a later update seems to have corrected that now.]

Accepted the automatic update on my Dell 3 days ago, cannot boot the computer since. Get an error message that system32/config location is not available on the desktop. And I cannot go back to a previous version.

Need to call Dell for help.

I have hated Windows 10 since the Fall Creators Update took more than 12+ hours on one machine and no less than 4 of my fastest machine.

1803 was just a big of a disaster.

I am so tired of MS making these updates so intrusive, so large and so complicated that it basically ties up your machine for the better part of a day.

Only negative so far on my HP notebook is that the led on the keyboard for speaker mute doesn’t turn on anymore. Speaker mutes/unmutes fine, just lost the visual indicator. Not the end of the world.

I have four machines running Windows 10 Pro. All were updated with the latest updates, all running just fine.

The update caused Xcel in Microsoft office to be useless. When entering a figure in a field and tabbing to the next position I am returned to the desktop. Looked online for a way to solve the problem but found none. Thanks Microsoft!

Been there, done that.

I bet dollars to doughnuts that it came up in the admin account by default and not the user account he was expecting.

Switch to the correct user account.

1 week ago when they rolled out the Tuesday updates, my PC was set to auto-install.
Their infernal update bricked my system. It would not boot.
By pure chance I did a cloning backup 3 days before, so I cloned the clone to the non-booting system drive and I was back in business (4 hours later).
My first order of business was to turn off updates.
Don’t they check this crap before releasing it?
