Anonymous

Last night I updated my windows 10 pro using KB:4559309. Since then my computer performance has absolutely tanked. my startup time is probably triple, loading any window has a few second delay.

I attempted to uninstall the update however windows tells me that it is required and cannot be removed.

This update has essentially rendered my brand new computer useless.

Please help!

Hey there, everyone

I have spoken to Missy Quarry, from the Edge team, and they are investigating this problem. However, they really need more details submitted though the Feedback Hub on Windows 10. 

To submit feedback, please go to start > Feedback Hub. 

You will need to click onto report a problem. Then enter your feedback/problem you are having with Microsoft Edge. On the categories you will need to make sure you have the following drop down options selected in the image underneath:

The more detail you can submit, the better it will be for the Edge team to find out what is causing this issue. So the detail box that has the test comment, should detail everything you are experiencing. 

Hope this helps, 

Regards,

    Rhaine,

    Are you not aware that update 4559309 is the one that updates EDGE and you can't uninstall it?  Unfortunately it's true which irritates me no end. It's my computer I should be able to remove whatever I want barring OS, which EDGE is not and should never be.

    Now I can't get to either of my .mil OWA sites because of this update that I can't uninstall.

    My basic problem is that I never use and never want to use EDGE and I don't want it updated either. My computer is ridiculously slow and I can't uninstall the update either. 

    Microsoft, please allow us to permanently disable EDGE and block all of its snail-inducing updates.

    Since this update was installed I have had boot problems and can only boot in safe mode. Windows startup repair says it can't fix the problem.

    Has anyone else had boot problems?

    Same problem for me, the Windows prompt says update is required, cannot be uninstalled.

    The issue for me is the new Edge browser has messed up the fonts so some sites are almost unreadable. Everything is very thin and pixelated. It also somehow affected google chrome, the fonts are just as bad there now.

    I think I go with plan B and run system restore.

    Thanks again Microsoft....
