Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709 just installed itself on my computer. I checked the details of the so-called new features. There's absolutely nothing there that I need or want. But I had no choice. During the update, Microsoft changed my display language and turned on password protected sharing. It also deleted the quick start toolbar from my taskbar. There may be other changes that I haven't found yet.
At no time during the update did I receive any notification about these changes. Every time Windows 10 updates, I have to spend hours tracking down and fixing unwanted changes.
Why do you do these things, Microsoft? Is there a setting that lets me protect my personalization settings from your stupid unwanted "feature" updates?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The Feedback Hub is still located where it always was. Under "F" in your complete apps list (not necessarily on your start menu)
And if you click on it it still opens:
then you sign in and leave your feedback,
As for the computer settings being changed, None of mine were after Tuesday's Cumulative Update. Everything is the same as it always was so I can't help you there.
But you CAN still use your Feedback Hub.
My thoughts exactly! This has got to STOP! Every week when my computer updates I cringe about what might happen. I have ran every kind of scan you can imagine, it is the Windows 10 updates! Started with Fall Creations Crap 1709 or something. This has been happening since November 2017.
If you are able to get your taskbar settings reset make sure you lock it. I'm hoping that it will help. I have had to do it 4 times now. I have restarted the computer and got a couple back, next try to go into task manager and restart explorer.exe-run as administrator-log out as administrator- - log back in-go to File-click new task-restart explorer.exe.if that doesn't work go to task bar-then properties-then uncheck small task bar buttons if it is checked. I was able to go back to larger buttons once it was fixed and then I locked taskbar.
*I had to re-install google and quickbooks
*Repair Microsoft Office to fix IMAP
At one point my start button wouldn't even work or run file option.
I have also tried:
Clicked windows key+R
Type cleanmgr
Enter
I have also tried:
clicked the window key+ x
Type sfc/scannow
This checks for corrupt files.
I have alsotried:
clicked windows key +x
Type DISM.exe/online/clean-up-image/Restorehealth
Well -- BS.
It's only ~ five months later and there no longer is a Windows 10 "Feedback Hub".
So much for feedback.
If I was giving feedback, it would be the same as this thread -- I just had a Windows 10 update pushed to my computer overnight and I find several settings changed. Who knows how many others have changed. Windows 10 has proved to be very good -- but this pushing changes with zero ability to prevent miscellaneous settings is ridiculous.
Example:
All the notification area icons changed. Some I had hidden resurfaced. Others just disappeared. Notification icons on the taskbar changed.
Stop. Just stop.
What you just said is all a load of crock! I have disabled the updates in registry, option menu and services but windows 10 keeps enabling them
Windows 10 by microsoft keeps infringing on my paid software on my paid computer and on my paid windows 10 operating os and infringes on my freedom choice and tramples on our liberty of expression. Micrsoft should be charged for crimes against humanity and for taking away our choice for which system users can use.
Its against every thing the declararion independance states about our freedom and liberty acts. You microsoft have forced us to use a system we the general public dislike.
Microsoft should pay us to use their damn operating system.
I wonder if UNIX is any better?
