Cumulative updates - February 11th 2020

Hi,

During reading one thought entered my mind regarding this update issue that I would like to share here. (Just to be sure.)

That it would be interesting to know if and how this temporary profile update issue also impacts people who have their personal profile(s) on an other disk (location) than the usual system C: disk (location).

With regard to your and others personal issues with disk space I can make some general remarks but I guess this thread isn't the right place for discussing details further.

If you actually have more than one disk in your Computer then there are several things you can adjust to create/keep more space on your C: disk.

Move/use personal files to/on the other (Settings > System > Storage > Change where new content is saved).

Download the install to the other drive.

Move/use pagefile.sys to/on the other.

Whether or not you have more than one disk in your Computer there are several other things too.

Check Settings > System > Storage > View storage usage on other drives, Click drive C: to see first too.

Move/use personal profile to/on the other with Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advancedtab, User profiles, Settings button.

Remove unused Windows Programs and Features in Control Panel > Programs and Features.

Resize hiberfil.sys, pagefile.sys.

Use Free up diskspace, Feedback Hub settings and Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics settings.

Temporary files settings, Delivery Optimization settings. Clear browsers. Duplicates.

Control Panel > File history, versions disabled etc.

And one should not forget smaller contributions like HP specific (Move SWSetup to the other) or i.e. a Windows found.000 folder maybe?

Consider buying a larger disk and create a copying/cloning USB. Maybe you can make an internal copy by removing the extra disk temporarily.

Or one can also buy an external cable to make the copy/clone and replace C: disk with this (larger disk) as the permanent solution.

(And one can always save the smaller disk i.e. as a backup with the clean empty updated previous version if one gets this working.)

I hope this helps if it happens again.

Hello.  Sorry to post a random question here, but a bit new at this.  Just installed the latest Feb 2020 Windows 10 updates.  Upon completion it appears to have reset the display to default windows system.  That is, all custom icons missing, background returned to windows logo, would not recognise my logon, set a temp logon.

I had to uninstall the latest updates to return to previous good operation and display.  Any ideas?  FYI.  Two of my neighbors had the same issue and we had to uninstall this update.

Thank you for your time and support.

Hi,

Have you tried settings, update and security. updates. pause updates for 7 days... click it for 7 days then click again and again. At present I have updates paused until 30th March and will extend and extend until Microsoft state that they have sorted this horror ad it is safe to install.
