Cumulative Updates - March 10th 2020

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Time to cut my losses?

TLDR : I needed TWO surfaces to help me out here - one to "sacrifice". I got to Smh and LOL at the same time at the state of things now..

Let me tell you some facts :

-I purchased a Surface Pro 3 when it released which started having expanding-battery issues after 2-3 years - MS refused to help as it was out of warranty - this was a device I'd paid well over £1000 for for study and work purposes and one that I expected to last many many years.  It came with Windows 7 so I had control of whether to update or not.

-fast forward to 2019.  I decided to give the surface another chance and got a Surface Go.  It comes with Windows 10.  I needed to avoid my past mistake so I bought TWO surface Go's.  Yesterday, one of them updated and I now get the 0xc0000098 error cannot repair or reset the machine to get past this.    [ As a result I have delayed the update on the second surface GO .....phew - that was close!!! ]

• I have been an MS fan since forever but something changed this past decade.  Citing "security" we are getting updates that are costing users their productivity, finances and any memories they may have saved on their devices such as photos.

I understand that updates are required but there needs to be more power to users to disable these completely - they purchased the device so they should have the choice to enable/disable these.

Anyhow, will there be a fix for my problem? I'd hope so.  [I'll probably have to end up reinstalling windows - not looking forward to it]

Will there be any refund for a device that's broken and out of warranty? Probably not.

I am very very disappointed in what is happening at the moment and that a update that I did not ask for has rendered my expensive device useless.

Edit : recovered my Surface Go at the expense of my files and about a day's worth of my time out of my weekend.

This update has caused the biggest issue for me, one could ever think of as it has wiped almost 35 GB of data which I had on DESKTOP.

I do not know what do you want to update?

I don't want to Update anything.  When an Update is sent to me, I Restart and let it Update.  This one is sitting there saying in my Update Folder saying,  "When you are ready, Click "Update" for the Feature Windows 10 Update 1909".  If there are issues as you are saying, then Why should I click to download and install it, and why give me a choice like that.  Normally the only notice you get for Updates, is on the Task Bar for you to select a time to Install (they have already been automatically downloaded) or when you choose sleep or shut down when you close out for the day.  Looks like I may let it sit there.  Thanks.

Alxyar,

Thank You for your response.  

I am so sorry about your troubles, but it has definitely convinced me to just let this Feature Update sit there.  When I had Windows 7 you had a choice, yes, and I used to wait a whole year to upgrade to the new version of Internet Explorer.  Sometimes longer, just waiting for Microsoft to fix all the bugs.  So at least now  I do have that choice with this Feature 1909 Update.  I found it sitting there when I checked after my regular monthly Updates were Automatically installed. 

One was the New Edge.  And I have to say, WOW, finally an Edge that works.  I complained so many times about Edge not loading certain things, like my Facebook games.  This new Edge is great.

Back to Feature Update 1909.

I think one of the biggest mistakes with Microsoft is the One Drive.

I lost ALL my pictures.  Thankfully I have them all on DVD and on a Flash Drive.  After losing them all with this One Drive, I first clicked to "Always keep on this device", but found some were still disappearing, so then I stopped the Update from One Drive to touch any photos.  And when I get new photos I save them on my Flash Drive as soon as they come into my mail, so they don't even go into my computer to get lost.  If I could totally get rid of One Drive without getting pop ups to sign in, I would do that, so I have turned off what One Drive can do.

I have never had anything but Microsoft, and I will faithfully stay with Microsoft and also recommend Microsoft.  Sometimes what you think is greener on the other side is not so green.

So I will let this Feature sit there and keep checking to judge how people are dealing with it.  Give Microsoft the time to clean the bugs out of it.
