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.

    I'm hearing that they are slowing down on the update. Actually giving the option back to us ,you know the ones who spent hundreds of not thousands on there product, to not take the updates. I know since I've upgraded to pro again it hasn't been bad this time around

    And all you have to do is give Microsoft more money. I dunno, I see a problem with that. 

    It's probably just me.

    I have W7 also and I wish they'd leave it alone.  The extra crap that they thoughtfully provide would be well left as an option. (so I can press "NO")

    Cos all I want is the bl.... thing to work!!!!

    Thank you for your comprensive comment, Tom

    If you think the December update was bad, wait till you see what they've done this last update in May of 2019. 

    All the color schemes are changed. I can't find my favorite background or tool bar, bookmarks bar, or taskbar color. I like the rich luminescent blues not this dimmer down unwashed color scheme they have now. Why not stop trying to control us and let us make our own decisions? After all, we are the users not you, and we paid for the right to choose, not to be controlled to the inth degree by those who think they know what we want. Needless to say, Microsoft again tries to fix something that isn't broken. Thanks for making my experience a nightmare as well. Even Google has changed and I may just quit them.
