you folks with windows 10 should look into a program called ‘rollbackRX’ - it’s system restore on steroids- and you can KEEP any snapshots you wish, with regular windows system restore, it deletes older snapshots and if you do something heavy, like install a program it deletes a lot of old restore points

When i ran windows- it was the best purchase i ever made for software- well worth the money- completely saved my bacon numerous times- it works at the boot level (or at desktop if you prefer)- when booting it adds a screen where you can hit spacebar, and it will bring up the rollback screen and show you all your snapshots- so you literally can’t get viruses that won’t allow your computer to boot- as the screen loads BEFORE windows begins to boot-

Anyway- if i ran buggy windows 10 I sure would be running rollbackRX so that i could be sure I can do reboots if an update totally fubars the system

That might be good to have. But sometimes rollbacks are not complete. When I went to rollback windows it warned me that some programs might be removed. So I started to make copies of important data that might be lost. Every time I would click one of the data files in windows explorer then that window would just lock up. I could only close it by restarting explorer in the task manager. In desperation I tried one more reboot. After that then everything started working again. Well except that I had to reconfigure the visuals in my browser because all of those custom settings were wiped out.

I did not choose to install the update. It was forced on me without my consent. Also I was not happy that after I put the computer to sleep then I noticed sometime later that widows had re awoke and my hard drive was churning like a top. Not cool at all. Virus visions were dancing in my head. No telling what windows was doing at that point.
