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

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.

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

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.

I have disabled the updates in registry,

There's your problem. Stop editing the Registry and/or running registry cleaners and your system will perform better.

As for the rest of your rant, you have every right to not use Windows 10. By all means format your systems and use something else.

Good luck!

Hi all,

Even though this post and several times trying to send suggestions throughout the hub feature the problem remains the same.

EVERY time that windows updates itself all my sharing options goes rogue. One might think..."so what" just re set it and no harm is done.

Well the problem is a bit more complex. We have several users using the same sharing options to allow them to use one shared printer with more PCs. Off course, it is a simple operation to solve for ONE user but a far more difficult task to perform to more than 800 hundred users.

So microsoft, since we all now this can't be the result of incompence, can we expect that from now on these options we be left untouched? If it is usefull, the more annoying updates are the security ones (we know for sure that they "break" the settings we left set on PCs.

You may know that some biz activities run with shared printers and to solve this issue would help all these activities around the globe.

Hope this will be taken in consideration

Kind regards

Logan
