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,

    I did a system restore, twice, to a point before the update took place, but... then, during the reboot he updated the KB4559309 again, automatically. Now, after two system restores I am not able to restore again to a point before the updates took place. 

    Great work Windows. I had a perfectly good working HP pavillion and since this Edge update my screen turns blue several times a day. I tried fixing this for the last hundred hours (driversupdates, systemchecks, systemrestores) , but nothing worked. There were previous windows updates that caused the same blue screen problems at my HP, but then I could simply uninstall the thing! I hate the dictatorial way windows impose its updates on people. I am not even using Edge, its terrible. I never thought of bying a MAC, but I am afraid Windows leaves me no other option. In dutch we call Windows 'WINDHOOS', which means 'hurricane', because of all the problems it gives. Please fix this hurricane Windows! And give us the opportunity to uninstall the horrible thing. I bought this computer, it's mine. So don't come into my house, uninvited, to destroy my perfect working laptop.

    I have the same experience. After this update that included an automatic update to Microsoft Edge, my laptop takes a long time to start and I cannot use Google Chrome without my computer freezing. I use Chrome as I feel it is a superior browser, and now I am being forced to use Microsoft Edge just so I can continue to work and allow my son to keep studying during lockdown. At a time when people across the world are struggling to make ends meet and keep learning, I think Microsoft need to release an urgent update to resolve these widespread issues.
