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.

    Really? Are you trolling a legitimate support forum for the sake of it? As a system administrator I can tell you that yes, I'm using my computer correctly and I have used every remediation method, including WindowsUpdateShowHide from support.microsoft.com, with no resolution.

    If you don't have a valid answer please don't post any answer.

    I am absolutely not trolling. As i said, I was very happy with Windows for 20+ years before this update. I am not a systems administrator and do not have the skills to rebuild computers, nor should I need administrator skills to simply use Windows. This post is a warning to others to not upgrade if they have the choice not to.

    Youre right, it shouldnt require admin skills to run. In part my response was intended to illustrate that even admins are having problems. I apologize for any excessive snarkiness. Your initial response, however, seemed to be a bit provacative.

    Thank you...but no thank you.

    After two major update debacles I have had with Windows in the last 12 months (I think the first one was called something like the Anniversary Update or something to that effect), I will be making the full switch to Linux. I have been dual booting for nearly 2 years, but I have been stuck in the Windows world due to finishing my Masters degree and for work at a software company. Luckily for me I will be finished with my Masters in less than a week, and can make the full switch on all of my personal devices. Luckily for Microsoft, you have established a stronghold in the business world, but I would imagine that the open source community is making you sweat a little each time an update fails on such epic levels. Best of luck to you...
