New Windows 10 update making everything slow

I don't think the consumer should need to learn how to figure out how to use this product.  These issues should be discovered before everyone is screwed with these issues. Every time a new version is released we see all of the discussions about why it doesn't work correctly or how to fix it. Why should I have to do this? When the last major release came out things stated working fine... and now this.

So apparently Windows decided to automatically update itself while I was away from the PC. When I’m trying to log in, it takes ridiculously long (around 30-40 minutes). So I tried restarting, but startup is SUPER slow to the point that I’m stuck waiting for a black screen of death. Why is my PC slow after this recent update? 

This slowdown issue is because Microsoft has loads of useless and unwanted services running in the background. So the best long term solution is **Linux.**Yes my friend, though linux is little difficult to use but you won't face any embarrassing issues when you are in a meeting and trying to present your presentation. Linux is light weight doesn't come with any bloatwares pre-installed like the Windows OS. There are thousands of flavours of Linux distributions. you can go with Ubuntu.

I honestly wish I could help you, but I personally feel that the only folks that can help any of us is Microsoft, as to why they keep releasing these bad updates is beyond me. I have spent days here, reading and troubleshooting as the team from Microsoft has suggested all to NO AVAIL!! 

A lot of folks haven't even been able to revert their systems from what I've read, as I stated previously. I did manage to revert my system, but again all to no avail. What ever these updates are doing, it's making deep system changes and it is left behind when rolling it back to your previous configuration. I have used tools, that the Microsoft Team has suggested, again, very sorry to say, all to no avail. Do yourself the favor and don't waste your time trying to do as these tech guys have suggested. I for one have been playing with computers since the late IBM 286 Computer back in the early 1980's and I personally have found it's easier to wipe my drive clean instead of wasting hours upon hours trying everything the team here suggests. I know every here means well and we are a family of users, but it's time some one just say's it; DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, WIPE YOUR "C" DRIVE CLEAN!!

I had not even finished restoring my system from the previous update, I believe it was the 1909 and here comes 2004, now I've been reading about another release is about to hit us after this 2004. If it continues this way, I am going to take a hard look at Linux. Microsoft is not leaving any other choice. Here I am again recovering from the 2004 update, each time, each update has caused major update problems. in 1909 it would take approx 30 minutes before my system would login. Then when it did, nothing functioned right. Chrome was locking up, even after I uninstalled it and rebooted, then reinstalled it again. All to no avail, I ended up having to reformat my SSD M.2 "C" drive.  I have learned, that when you install all the updates prior to loading any other software, my system runs perfectly, that was for 1909, then I ended up having to wipe my drive again with this current release, number 2004. Why? Well because next to nothing would work, even after rolling it back. What a ..... mess!

Again, when I installed the OS with all the updates prior to any other software my system is running perfectly. As I already stated, I am mad as **** because Microsoft is failing millions of us. I'm waiting to hear from my son to start complaining about his gaming rig I built for him, that thing is a beast of a machine. I know him, the first time it locks up, he'll be calling me to fix it. 

As far as I am concerned there is no fix, until Microsoft gets their act together. I wish I could send Microsoft an Invoice for my hours, because we spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on the product only to their OS cause our systems to go down. If you find an easy fix, please share it with me, because I am not only mad as ****, I am tired of having to wipe my HD every time they release an update. 

Sorry for the long reply, but hopefully Microsoft will see this and fix their ................................. I'll leave that blank, but use your imagination. I have been using Microsoft since the old IBM 286 computer and it only appears things have gotten worse. Hence, I maybe reading and studying up on Linux if Microsoft continues with this.

I thought you could get into Windows so I gave you steps to try from there.

If not You may need to create bootable media to access Repair Mode to System Restore, try the new Uninstall Updates button, do a Reset or do the gold standard Clean install. The bootable media has it's own drivers, repair and installation files which often work when Windows or the other Repair Mode doesn't.

To create Windows 10 Installation Media on another PC install Media Creaion Tool and follow the directions here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m.... Uncheck the box for Recommended Settings to choose the exact version and bit rate for the target PC only.

Insert media, boot it by powering up PC while pressing the BIOS Boot Menu Key: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...

If the media won't boot you may need to enter BIOS/UEFI Setup (pressing key given in chart in link above) to turn off Fast Boot or Fast Startup first.

Choose the boot device as a UEFI device if offered, on second screen choose Repair Your Computer, then Advanced Troubleshoot Options, then System Restore, and Uninstall Updates. If that fails go back to Troubleshoot Options to try a Reset.

If that fails choose Install Now, then Custom Install, then at the drive selection screen delete all partitions down to Unallocated Space to get it cleanest, click Next to let it create needed partitions and start install - this makes it foolproof.

Everything needed to get the best possible Clean Install is here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki.... It is a better install than any amount of money can buy and a great learning experience that will make you the master of your PC because you will learn what works best and how to apply it with your own hands.

If you have files that aren't backed up you can use the same bootable media to try to rescue your files using these methods: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to choose if I solved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

I don't understand why everytime Microsoft has an update it is trash out of the gate and takes forever. 

I am so done with windows at this point.

New gaming computer and nothing but **** from Microsoft.

I'm buying a Mac.
