Cumulative updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11 - July 2023

How do I store MY settings so that after you get done with your "improvements" I can get back to work?

I waste half a work day putting my computer back together after Microsoft "improves" it. I can NOT continue to waste this kind of non-productive time simply to get a computer functioning the way I need it to.

You have no idea what my needs are or what the demands of my work day are, yet you feel you KNOW what "improvements" are needed. This cycle keeps repeating several times a month. It has to STOP. You don't know how we use our computers or what each of us need and you have no business changing the settings on our computers to what you want them to be. It isn't like Microsoft shelled out $1,200 bucks to purchase this computer. I did and I am the one who needs it to function. Which means I am the judge of what those settings need to be. This is absolutely ridiculous. Really? Why do you think people are going to other systems?

I had the same thing happen. I wonder if it was a memory issue for my laptop, it's older and was already running slow, and I was getting low space warnings from my antivirus prior to the update. I was never able to figure out how to back out of the 98% complete screen.

I had the same problem. After I de-installed the update that broke Bluetooth on my HP laptop which was the only way to get it working again, I came back the next day to find Windows had auto-updated the bad update overnight and I was back to square one. The only way to fix it was to again de-install the offending update (by going back to the previous restore point) then turn off auto-update to stop it happening a third time. This involves a registry hack and setting your wifi to 'metered connection' then telling Windows not to download updates over a metered connection, which of course won't work if you are on a LAN or directly connected to your router. It's a disaster. Microsoft really have dropped the ball with their updates. They cause more problems than they are supposed to fix.

Any help please? Anyone?

Which one did you deinstall? I had 3 of them.
