Cumulative Updates - March 10th 2020

Thanks, Dinesh, but it turned out to be a simple firewall issue, in the end! But thanks for your reply!

My only suggestion to you, is once you get your audio working again (or maybe even BEFORE) do what a lot of us are doing and POSTPONE further updates.

It's under Settings->Update and Security->Windows Update->Advanced Options->Pause Updates.

You would think, that this being a Microsoft Forum, someone actually FROM Microsoft would add some advice, but in 15 pages I've seen no such person arrive.

Good Luck

I am DONE with Windows 10.  I had to re-boot my computer this evening, because I could not get a pop-up window to disappear.  Damned it, Windows erased everything again, including everything on my web browser (favourites, tabs, etc.) and moved-once again-the files I had found earlier this month when I had this problem.  I had to go digging (once again) through my hard drive to find them, and once again, put them back where they belonged.  I am getting good at digging through my hard drive due to this, so I guess that is something positive to all this ****. I knew something was wrong, because the back ground picture had changed, when Windows finally started up.  That was my first indication that something was amiss.  Back ground picture on the desktop had reverted back to the basic Windows....and some of the other files I had on my desk top had also disappeared.  It is very clear that I can no longer shut my computer off completely.  I had been merely putting my computer to sleep the last few weeks, as I was afraid of something just like this!  My apprehensions were well justified.  Apparently, shutting down my computer means giving Microsoft permission to wreak havoc on my computer, even after I shut off and try to delay BS, untested updates they are trying to force on everyone.  Is there ANYONE at Microsoft that knows what in the hell they are doing? Or do they just not give a damned?  This will be the one and only Windows 10 computer I own, and you can sure as hell bet I do NOT recommend it to ANYONE.  I will just be thankful I can still use this computer somewhat, and that I do not have that blue screen of death that others here have had to deal with (and am sorry you are dealing with).

Multiple computers in my org after receiving KB4551762 update are crawling and unusable it is so slow (1903 and 1909 Enterprise).  These are computers running 6th gen or newer Intel i7s with pcie solid states and 8 to 16gb of ram, should not be having this problem.  Have had to remove the update and block it.  Computers work perfectly fine after update removed. This update should be pulled immediately.

Will you PLEASE shut off whatever mechanism you have that keeps repeating this GARBAGE message.

Cumulative Updates are BROKEN.  Trying to update (if possible) appears to ruin machines (sound, blue screen, no login).

Until someone ACTUALLY from Microsoft has a viable answer, I would suggest to all to postpone updates for as long as you can (it IS in the settings for Updates).
