Windows 10 update sucks.

I'm running windows 10 since the very beginning and it is ok. Better saying, it was ok until 2 days ago when my computer was updated to the biggest update ever done. It happens that now it takes years to boot and a few minutes ago (that's when I turned it on) my fingerprint reader does not work anymore and during boot the monitor goes off just after windows starts. I wonder if Microsoft is paying the salaries of those programmers responsible for this update. Perhaps they have done something wrong to upset Microsoft, or is it just stupidity?

Now, I WANT my computer to work the way it did before this stupid update. I don´t won't to remember dozens of usernames and passwords (that's why I spent a lot of money buying a fingerprint reader, which now is useless due to the unprofessional update made by Microsoft). My Microsoft trackball runs or not runs after boot. Is this normal? Don't you test your programs before releasing them to the public?

Do you know what? You suck, just because you wanted to do this major update before Christmas. Well... you've ruined my Christmas with it. SHAME ON YOU!

Hello,

It is possible that system files might have been damaged or corrupted after installing an update, or that the update installed has known issues.

For resolving corrupted system files, you may run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair the system for corrupted system files. For information about running the tool, kindly see this article.

However, some issues occur only after installing a certain update. An example of a known issue in an update is after installing KB4074588 (latest update), USB devices, such as keyboard or mouse, stop working. Microsoft is already aware of this issue and will provide a resolution through an update. To see the list of known issues for each update, kindly see Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 update history.

If the System File Checker tool does not help, you can restore your PC from a system restore point. This would take your PC back to a point in time before an update is installed. For information on how to restore your PC from a system restore point, kindly see Recovery options in Windows 10.

After restoring, you may prevent the update from reinstalling by downloading and running the Show and hide updates troubleshooter. To read more about the troubleshooter, kindly read through this article.

If the troubleshooter and the troubleshooting steps mentioned above does not help with resolving the issue after an update, we recommend that you send a feedback directly to Microsoft through the Feedback Hub app. This way, it would let the engineers know how the updates impact your experience and may improve the overall usability of Windows 10. For information about sending feedback, kindly see Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app.

If you have other questions, feel free to ask us.

    Dear Microsoft,

    Sorry for being rude this time.

    This thread seems to be mostly replied by computer geeks and not by amateurs.

    I have no idea what OS your own developers use but I'm sure it's not Win 10 as it does suck to its extremest way ever.

    A PC with less than 2Ghz CPU, 8 GB RAM and SSD drive will definitely roll back its update as it is not capable of forcing the update tasks.

    Cancel your whole projects and do sth for this OS for pits sake!

    I just had an automatic update.  My screen went blank at 10 times.  Can't Microsoft get it right.  It drives me nuts and drive me to look for alternatives.  I'm now an Apple promoter and will get an Apple computer for my next desktop or laptop purchase.

    I have nothing to offer but my sympathies. 

    Microsoft, do you really hate your customers this much.  My damn computer runs like an old jalopy

    then one program will ask me if I want to open a picture make a collage, add a frame,  NO I JUST WANT TO OPEN IT> 

    I"ll edit it with an editor

    IT freezes which it didn't before, even managed to screw up VLC

    What the hell. you have no idea (seemngly just how frustrating this is.

    It's a tool goddamnit, and a tool should work and be intuitive you really really make things so complicated and awkward
