Cumulative Updates - March 10th 2020

I have a Surface Pro 3 and KB4551762 worked great for a week. I installed it on 3/13, I believe, and had no issues until today 3/22 when my computer woke from sleep it could not find the network adapter. I tried the troubleshooter and I even tried navigating to the folder where the adapter should show up and it was completely gone. I restarted a few times to see if that would help (sometimes it does this randomly and restarting fixes it), but nope. 

I finally just uninstalled the KB4551762 update and when my Surface Pro restarted, everything was working again.

I just updated with this update 1909 today and found that it fixed my issue with touchscreen no working. I noticed yesterday that my touchscreen wasn't working, so i was searching around for topics to resolve my issue. I reset computer and this did not work. I found that under the device manager Human Interface Devices, search and help topics said to look for HID-compliance touch screen. It was not showing in the device manager Human Interface Devices. So I looked like it mentions for updates and found there was an update there 1909, however I missed seeing it in my updates or I must of choose to pause the update for whatever reason. Now to the point. 

After I did allow this update to run, my touchscreen works finally again. So if you find your laptop, desktop or other touchscreens to not be working, make sure you allow this update as it is the fix to your problem. Do not go to extremes and search your brain off like I did and nothing worked. Before running extreme measures run updates and keep checking often.

THIS UPDATE WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM WITH TOUCHSCREEN NOT WORKING, 1909 UPDATE. IT SURELY FIXED MY ISSUE.

Thanks for trying to help me.

I have so far had the following issues, and it seems each day brings a new issue... I have no idea why it seems to want to wait a day or so for a new issue to crop up!!!

1. As soon as I installed the update on the 10th, I had the "sound issues" -- no sound out of my soundbar, though microphone worked, monitor sound would work if I switched it. 

Resolution: I was able to resolve this by determining a lot of old sound devices (portable speakers) had re-appeared even though they were no longer in use. By deleting the devices, and rebooting, I was able to get the desired selected device to work. Whatever conflict was there, stopped and sound has been working. Yay? This had not been a problem prior to update.

2. 2-3 days ago, after a subsequent update (seemingly) I got the 'Windows Defender' issue where I now get a notification of a nonexistent exclusion (skipped an item due to exclusion or network setting) every time I do an on demand scan.

At startup (during a windows update of Defender) I got a notification that Defender stopped working, and I needed to restart it. My 'forced update' of antivirus definitions that I do a little after restart probably conflicted with the update that was running, and something shut down -- this happens on occasion if I try to update antivirus definitions while update is doing it at the same time. I restarted Defender, and ran a scan and got the exclusion error.

No amount of troubleshooting has resolved this; I found enough posts in the Defender subsection to decide this is a bug of Microsoft's. I DO have a drive mounted at G, always have, and I have an SSD drive at C and another drive at D. Various folders are remapped to D. I imagine there is some dumb bug related.

As I do on demand scans on startup and shutdown, this is a nuisance. 

3. As of yesterday I was greeted with a bluescreen upon startup, with the 'white update wheel.' I had to control-alt-delete, go to startup and restart. This allowed me to login. Today, behavior has changed and now I can get a startup picture but NO LOGIN. No amount of key mashing or mouse clicking allows this. 

I ran troubleshooting (sfc, dism, etc ad nauseum). No problems. Virus scans, wasted hours. Again. 

And guess what fixed it after doing more troubleshoot?! Pausing windows update for 7 days. If only I had found THIS very thread sooner, where some kind soul posted that SUPPORT had told them to disable the update service. I had noticed in task manager that update was churning away unnecessarily greedily on resources to produce no updates once I had logged in but it didn't register as suspicious (silly me) until I had checked elsewhere for corruption.

So good going on this update. Borked sound, borked defender, and borked updates. 

What's next?
