    Hi, my computer updated to this latest version right when the May update came out and became virtually unusable until I manually restored to before the update. Now it just reinstalled it when I woke it up from sleep, even though I turned off updates until the 11th of July.

    Why I uninstalled it:

    Log-in would take a long time to load, and then the whole screen would flash white at quick, almost random points (glad I don't have epilepsy). No applications could be opened. Sometimes I could see the desktop; other times the screen was otherwise black except for the taskbar (which I couldn't click on; had the spinning cursor) and those flashing white lights; sometimes all of the above except for a tiny broken window that said "Personalization Settings" (presumably from something I frantically clicked when I realized it was happening again). Last I checked, all my drivers are up to date. I'm running a CyberPower PC GMA4600BST and it runs great on the older Windows.

    How I had to uninstall it:

    When I'd use CTRL+ALT+DEL, the flashing would stop and I could easily select task manager. The flashing'd start up again and I would boot up CMD with admin rights using task manager and file>new task. The flashing white screen would basically be the computer trying to switch the active window from CMD into something else, so when I would type the cd restore commands to restore to a previous version of Windows, I would have one hand clicking to keep my CMD window open and try and type one key at a time before the random flashing would make CMD inactive again.

    I've had to do this twice now. I know not having this update puts my computer security at risk, but like a lot of us, I have a ton of work to do on my PC and I'd rather just keep paying my bills as long as I can on an older version, haha.

    Anyway, I'm fine uninstalling this version for as long as it takes to get a fix and don't need some more complex solution atm. But I didn't see this problem listed on the Known Issues article and I wanted it known.
