    Millions of Windows Insiders are not Microsoft Employees whose sole focus is release quality.

    Ok, heres the overall solution. Fact of the matter the technologies are moving so swiftly that things arent going thru much testing or logic in Alpha or Beta versions. That what happens when things get subcontracted.

    The solution i found was a do a USB with a Windows 10 your version boot. My program i use formats and copies the boot onto it. The iddue seems to be two part minimum  Windows Defender and a Cloud issue , and for some reason Defender reading files and considering them a threat deleting them. Happened on last summer fall update.

    The next step is usually even when using update assitant youll get an entire download, then when you attemp the install the download begins. You have a few options

    1. You can do a 3 repeat unplug let restart and unplug, and windows will go in and do a repair. It will give you options, backups, restore etc, or you can back out of screen do a restart and press f9, you want to select boot snd USB, now you can boot safely . Having a USB with your recent backup is good. Imm old school, we used to have to backup everysingle pc of work everday on a floppy.

    On the issue of the download 2004 i personally turned off all updates to maximum and ill il that until the glitch is fixed 

    Hello Please advise this frustrated novice computer operator:   What is a USB with a Windows 10 your version boot?    Since recent updates I have lost passwords, my MSN account, Administrator sign in and password  and recently the error code AADSTS50196 popped up on my screen.   How will I ever get my computer with Windows 10 working again?   This is a recent problem  Thank you to anyone who has an answer............................

    The sole focus of the Windows Insiders - who include employees from Microsoft, hardware manufacturers and software developers - is release quality.

    Having the Insiders test new releases is far superior to having only Microsoft employees do the testing. Microsoft can't possibly test a release candidate on every combination of hardware and software, and Microsoft doesn't have the proprietary knowledge of third-party hardware and software products needed for a full evaluation.

    Sorry, but I have never seen a more inaccurate post for any Microsoft operating system release since I have been using computers.  Windows 10 is the all-time worst quality in a Microsoft release of any product I have ever seen.  It is worse than Windows 3.1, and that is pretty bad.

    These Insiders are really doing a poor job of ensuring quality.  That is for sure.

    2nd thoughts here.  After reading more above.  Yes 1 update a year, spend that year TESTING, TESTING, TESTING like our Covid19.  Who wants Computer HELL.

    Keep in touch, that helps.

    I remember Windows 98 fondly.
