Hi,... 

Noted with thanks

Regards,

I was not trying to say that. I and we all should use windows update only to install updates. What I said to install manually was the feature updates[The update that changes the entire version which sizes upto 3 GB]

ONLY. What I recommended was to DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE ISO FOR THE LATEST FEATURE UPDATE FROM THE OFFICIAL MICROSOFT SITE MANUALLY RATHER THAN WINDOWS UPDATE.

But for other updates[cumulative update definition update office updates] Please use the windows update.

Windows update determines which is best for our pc and what our pc needs. I too used windows update only to install the recent cumulative update 17763.55.

Even if you decide to upgrade or install a fresh copy, YOU CAN USE THE ISO WHICH YOU CREATED USING THE MEDIA CREATION TOOL. Its very useful later to correct your pc if you had problems and errors. With that ISO you can upgrade your pc Whenever you want

That's why I recommend TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL MANUALLY ONLY THE TIME WHEN WINDOWS RELEASES ITS FEATURE UPDATE NOT FOR OTHER UPDATES

Hope it helps...……..

Hi,...

Thanks for guidelines and recommendations. Unfortunately, I don't have ISO, I just bought the laptop about last 3 months, window licence installed its.

About early last week, I updated directly from window updates, and now just noted about this issue. Lucky I had back-up before updates, so it may be not a big problem for me. But hope the problem will be fixed soon by Microsoft team !

Many thanks,

Regards,

Giap

Hi Giap,

The best that I can do for you is to supply the link containing the list of phone numbers (choose the one that is for your area) to contact Microsoft directly (as per the instructions in the link provided previously). As far as I know, this will be your best bet toward recovering any data that is or may be still recoverable.

Wish I could do more for you. Good Luck!
