Windows 10 update sucks.

Anonymous

I'm running windows 10 since the very beginning and it is ok. Better saying, it was ok until 2 days ago when my computer was updated to the biggest update ever done. It happens that now it takes years to boot and a few minutes ago (that's when I turned it on) my fingerprint reader does not work anymore and during boot the monitor goes off just after windows starts. I wonder if Microsoft is paying the salaries of those programmers responsible for this update. Perhaps they have done something wrong to upset Microsoft, or is it just stupidity?

Now, I WANT my computer to work the way it did before this stupid update. I don´t won't to remember dozens of usernames and passwords (that's why I spent a lot of money buying a fingerprint reader, which now is useless due to the unprofessional update made by Microsoft). My Microsoft trackball runs or not runs after boot. Is this normal? Don't you test your programs before releasing them to the public?

Do you know what? You suck, just because you wanted to do this major update before Christmas. Well... you've ruined my Christmas with it. SHAME ON YOU!

    Hello,

    It is possible that system files might have been damaged or corrupted after installing an update, or that the update installed has known issues.

    For resolving corrupted system files, you may run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair the system for corrupted system files. For information about running the tool, kindly see this article.

    However, some issues occur only after installing a certain update. An example of a known issue in an update is after installing KB4074588 (latest update), USB devices, such as keyboard or mouse, stop working. Microsoft is already aware of this issue and will provide a resolution through an update. To see the list of known issues for each update, kindly see Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 update history.

    If the System File Checker tool does not help, you can restore your PC from a system restore point. This would take your PC back to a point in time before an update is installed. For information on how to restore your PC from a system restore point, kindly see Recovery options in Windows 10.

    After restoring, you may prevent the update from reinstalling by downloading and running the Show and hide updates troubleshooter. To read more about the troubleshooter, kindly read through this article.

    If the troubleshooter and the troubleshooting steps mentioned above does not help with resolving the issue after an update, we recommend that you send a feedback directly to Microsoft through the Feedback Hub app. This way, it would let the engineers know how the updates impact your experience and may improve the overall usability of Windows 10. For information about sending feedback, kindly see Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app.

    If you have other questions, feel free to ask us.

    Yep, the latest security update (Jan) pretty much damn near bricked my PC. Had to reformat and perform (attempt) fresh install 4 f-ing times! 4 TIMES!! What a bloody headache, lets see, constant black screen, wont boot, wont install, wont repair, scrambled video, did I mention no video? hung system, and so on and so forth. The only way around it when it FINALLY decided it (for god only knows what reason) would cooperate was oh so kindly allowing me to finally NOT allow the update through. Im NEVER EVER NEVER updating Win 10 again ! Furthermore Ive blocked ALL updates in every conceivable way. I dont have time for fighting this kind of BS, next round Im going Linux.

    Win 10 updates, what a complete farce, its almost criminal.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR MS! HAHA GREAT! JOKES ON ME! I GET IT, SUPER FUNNY

    All this crying to Microsoft is obvious: All my problems started AFTER this update. And yes, I've solved it, because I've got backups (several redundant and different backups spread for several external drives). My concern is that one of these days this same update will come again uninvited and it will start all over again. And why are you defending so much Microsoft? It seems you feel responsible for this update... Would you expect me to praise the Lord for this update even when it gives me problems? If the driver ahead of you lights the right turn flasher and then he turns left do you feel happy? Wasn't he supposed to turn right? Wasn't this update supposed not to clear the user's photos from the logon screen? I was never warned for that possibility. YES! This is Microsoft's fault. This time it is. What do I care about the cloud and android apps? I don't like the cloud and I don't like smartphones, so why do i have to have an update that brings me something I don't want? Why not telling customers what the updates are about and let people choose as it used to be in the past? Only security updates should be mandatory, not apps updates which load the system for nothing. But that is not the point of my real problem. The point is my computer was running fine and this update screwed things. I've managed to solve the problem but maybe some people have to pay for someone else to solve it for them. Is this fair? Sometimes Microsoft goes wrong and if you have any doubts, they don't spell proper Portuguese in the Portuguese version of the software. They use "invented" words as if they were correct Portuguese. The Portuguese language package sucks so much that most of us (portuguese people) use the English language package. If that's not incompetence what is it? Microsoft uses an ilegal version of spelling that a portuguese prime-minister wanted to approve in 2011 and that the Portuguese Supreme Court of Justice sentenced as ilegal, but Microsoft still uses that spelling version which is not Portuguese. So, if they can't distinguish which one is legal or not, they can do stuff that either works... or not. Everyone makes mistakes (except those ones who do nothing), but we must learn from our mistakes and not believe we are perfect. As I said before, Windows 10 is the best OS ever built, but this update gave me troubles and those troubles should not have happened. Problem solved (for the moment), end of discussion.

    If I knew the answer, I would not post my problem, right? My computer was ready to work within 60 seconds after pressing the on button and now it shuts down the screen as soon windows starts. Then, the HDD LED stays on for long minutes as if the drive is being scanned. The fingerprint reader doesn't come to live, although it is listed under "devices", all users photos have gone and I had to put them back one by one and you're trying to tell me "that's all  A OK"? No it isn't! Since windows XP, most updates are OK but we all know that some of them (since that time) give problems. Maybe nor for everyone because not all computers are the same, but we all know what people say in the forums and in Facebook when some updates suck. I agree windows 10 is the best OS ever built, but this last update is giving me problems and I wish it didn't exist. I'm a Microsoft customer since windows 3.1, then windows 98, windows XP, windows Vista, windows 7 and windows 10. I even have brand new install discs of windows server (which I've never installed), so if I'm reporting this problem is because it exists and it bothers me. It is not the first time an update goes wrong and then Microsoft makes a fix for it. Well, I'm waiting for the fix.
