Windows 10 update changed my personal settings---WHY???

Dear Johann Eva:

Would it not be lovely ... go to Cortana, hum I can't :-(!

Since the Fall Creator's update, I have lost the use of Cortana (which I don't use generally), the keyboard's Windows key (on its own) does not bring up the start menu nor can I bring it up with my mouse! I also can't sort out the settings on my keyboard or mouse (both Logitech). I obviously can't shut down or restart from the Start menu (see above) I also can't pin programs on the Taskbar. Just to add to the pleasure, I can't start Edge either.

Oh ... it appears I have a blank Recovery area. So forget 'rollback'. Do I 'really' want to go back to total system reinstall? You have three guesses ...

Back to what I'm answering to: you wanted some feedback! Will this do?

The PC is working in a fashion.

God grant me the patience and forbearance to not do 'anything' stupid that will make it unworkable.

NO !!!!!!  FIVE TIMES I HAVE TRIED THIS TAKING AGES  WITH ALL ANTI VIRUS SETTINGS DEACTIVATED AS ADVISED AND ALL OTHER THINGS TRIED STILL NOTHING OTHER THAN THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND MAYBE ( YEAH MAYBE ) ITS YOUR ANTI VIRUS. TRY RESTORING TO A DIFFERENT RESTORE TIME  ( BUT TOUGH WE HAVE DELETED ALL THEM ) SO I CANT EVEN DO THAT . 

How can you really justify your POSITION AT MICROSOFT  as experts when your  SOLUTIONS DON'T WORK ?

GIVE US A SOLUTION THAT WORKS SO WE CAN AT LEAST USE THE DEVICE WE PAID FOR TO WORK HOW IT DID BEFORE YOUR FANTASTIC UPDATE .

MUPPET !!!!!!   I SHOULD BE BILLING YOU BY THE HOUR FOR ALL THE CRAP I HAVE TO DO TO RECTIFY SOMETHING YOU LOT HAVE SCREWED UP

Yes, and thet wpuld be great if it had not also erased my previous restore points. I make about one a week, but after the update, everything including general settings, system settings, passwords, notes, internet settings, program settings, and more, were lost. So, with only filea and programs left, how can I restore my settings?

Hi Darren,

As discussed on the previous post on this thread, some of these changes were made to further improve Windows. If in any case you would like to revert back to the previous settings that you were using, we recommend that you perform system restore since you can restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a restore point. System Restore doesn’t change your personal files, but it might remove recently installed apps and drivers.

Windows automatically creates a restore point when you install desktop apps and new Windows updates, if the last restore point is older than 7 days. You can also create a restore point manually at any time.

To restore your PC to an earlier point in time:

1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.

(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.) 2. Enter Control Panel in the search box, and tap or click Control Panel. 3. Enter Recovery in the Control Panel search box, and then tap or click Recovery. 4. Tap or click Open System Restore, and then follow the instructions.

Let us know how it goes.

I am having the same issue. The update erased the settings on my computer, and I would like them restored. And yes, I submitted "feedbac."

Hi yes this also happened to me last night, this is ridiculous. Done the update automatically & then wipes everything from documents to my browser bookmarks. 

Simple question HOW DO I GET ALL MY STUFF BACK LOOKING EXACTLY HOW IT WAS ?

I JUST HAD TO REVERT MY KEYBOARD BACK TO THE CORRECT SETTINGS & THAT WAS PAIN STAKING ENOUGH, SO WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE A COMPUTER DEGREE OR BEING A ROCKET SCIENTIST CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO REVERT MY PC TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE OR I AM SWITCHING TO A MAC BECAUSE YOU HAVE REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS UPDATE.
