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.

    The main problem with these Updates is we have to accept EVERY Update and THEN we have to reboot and wait as long as an hour for it to finish these idiot Updates.

    I have defended Microsoft for decades and have been testing since it was XP Pro back in 2000

    BUT this is pure BS making us take Updateswith no choice at all.

    ALL most of us want is SECURITY Updates and do NOT care about finger painting on the screen or logging in with us looking at a screen or any other BS that is for clowns who mainly are on a cell phone or on a pc to twitter their lives away of lost in spacebook or instaidiocy.

    Remember what these machines are called???

    COMPUTERS

    Used by millions to COMPUTE......to data process and program and copy and save documents.

    I am one of those millions and we usually have a room full of computers doing actual WORK.

    I have 10 running 24/7 yet here I am at 2:22am waiting for this latest idiot Update to finish so I can then log in after all these reboots so I can THEN get it running doing data processing and it uses the CPU's and GPU's and Ram and doesn't need Updates to do all the BS they tell us that we just got after waiting over and over for all these Updates for several YEARS now.

    Hell right now INSIDER is a cuss word to me and add Windows 10 Updates and that is enough cuss words to make a spacebook clown ban me.

    I still have a computer running on XP Pro since the first week of November 2001 and guess what?????

    It runs 24/7 and NEVER does any Updates and NEVER tells ME what to do.

    AND I still have 2 running 24/7 with Windows 7 and I never do any Updates other than a rare occasion security Update......even though it actually does not matter.

    I still have my XP Pro and Windows 7 discs and this crap is all it takes to make me return the ones I changed to 10 back to 7

    Hell I can't even defend this OS vs linux and I don't even like that stupid list of OS's even though I work with Linux Science every day.

    And bragging that Windows 10 Updates make your computer reboot faster is MORONIC.

    Are you just trying to con more people that still use yahoo to join this soon to sink ship??

    Or maybe say that it was "free" again..........it wasn't free if you did the Updates since day one several years ago before this was public.

    Talk about a scam to get free workers.........I could have made more money making Nikes in a child labor camp.

    Hell I am even mad that I have lived near Redmond WA for 60 years and see how that place went from a quite country road to a mad house with thousands of cars filling every lane 24/7 and even made the surrounding towns into insanity (Bothell) remember that place Bill Gates???

    Hell I even am mad at my parents for naming me "Bill" 60 years ago.

    NOW I get to spend hours installing Windows 7 and then do the 200 Updates on them before I can just let them run and NEVER do another Update.

    Like I said in the row of computers sitting in front of me there is a computer still running XP Pro for almost 17 YEARS and it NEVER fails and the only thing that can stop it is if the power goes out here in the not so great Northwest.

    And now in tiny white text I will end this by telling Microsoft what I think about the idiots that came up with this idea and how I hope they lose millions of customers...........oh and finish the reboot of the one keeping me up now at 2:40am...........

    .....         ......____      >> .....                                        __________________________.

    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...

    Unfortunatly Microsoft does not care about us. Microsoft has replaced a wonderful OS Windows 7 with Windows 10. Millions and millions of users that switched to Windows 10 can no longer play ANY games. Also most older apps and programes older than 5 yesrs no not work at all on Windows 10.
