Beware MS Windows 10 Update

FYI - My laptop with Windows 10 just decided to auto update itself (while I was using it). After a 60-minute update, Windows decided to reset to a bunch of original settings, uninstalled a few programs (e.g., Classic Shell start menu), & my docking station, wifi adapter (internal), a USB ports no longer work.

The best part is that Windows 10 installed itself last spring & you can't disable auto updates (at least I couldn't figure out how to do it).

When are we allowed to officially call Windows a computer virus?

Rant over...

Well said, I have no comeback to that.

My desktop did the same thing, I've spent the last couple of days re-setting up my settings and preferences. I haven't noticed any programs missing.

I see you finally got your "Windows 10 Anniversary Update"


Its been one of the buggier updates Microsoft has released recently. Google it and you'll find a slew of problems.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

I'm amazed that people still use such garbage.

Mind bottling.

All my systems are Windows based, and the recent update to 10 screwed up my Surface
but I love it because I'm in IT and specifically in the MS space
so I say to MS keep the BS coming and I can buy steeno and a can of beans for my family.

I just read some of the rants on this update. For the love of God, why did MS think it was a good idea to do this?? Mind boggling.
