Hello. I'm quite unhappy with my entire experience. I have had to contact support multiple times because my computer "wasn't on the list" of computers able to run the latest updates. I find this incredibly ironic, as it has 8gb of ram, lots of disk space, and a very nice processor (~2.6ghz). I have had my agents help me as much as they could, and that wasn't the bad part, they did great! For a day... Somehow, even after they went and did the whole thing about delaying updates for 8 months or so, The Windows 10 update installer app downloaded. It has hogged me for the past week, with me having to abort multiple updates, not wanting to lose my pc again. I am a student, and can not afford a new one, but just recently I gave up and let it update. It quit out halfway through, as usual, and went back to the same condition it was at. Nothing works.
This is not like last time, I had to get a Windows 10 system on a usb, and repair my boot loader last time. This time, Windows simply won't do anything. It's currently telling me the only option left is a hard reset.
I have physically tried everything besides a hard reset. I refuse. Why should I lose my personal belongings, when it's out of my control? This is not an issue with anything except Windows. What can be done about this? I am very disappointed in the fact this has ruined my computer, I really hope you can do something about this.

I've tried everything available to get my computer back after the February 26 2019 update. I'm resetting it for a second time although I'm not sure why. I'm desperate. When that fails, I'm going to see what sort of backup that I might have. This is horrible. I should have stayed away from windows 10 in the first place!
The latest windows update has slowed my laptop to a 15minute boot up.
It automatically deletes your old system files after 10 days so the time you have available to rollback to the last version and get rid of the latest RUBBISH is limited. This is probably limited to 10 days so that most people wont be able to revert by the time they decide they want to.
I am going over to Linux if there isnt an update to solve my issue within the next 14 days.
Hi. You need to make your internet connection "metered". Windows 10 does not have a switch off facility but if you make your connection "metered" it assumes that downloads can cost you money so it will not automatically download the update. It will then be up to you to choose if you want to download.
HEY MICROSOFT YOUR BROKE MINE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same boat here. Every damn "update" breaks something. Now I have no sound, cortana search bar not working, and can't clear email notifications. I wish there was a way to permanently stop automatic updates. My computer was fine before M$ "updated" it. I HATE WINDOWS 10! The most annoying, intrusive operating system ever!
