    "Unable to complete updates. Undoing changes"

    I have continually received this message after several attempts of installing the new updates. 

    The updates complete and get past a 95% install, then abruptly stop. The above message appears and a complete uninstall begins.

    Windows continues to disappoint. Of all bugs the night light is stuck. It's disabled I attempted to delete it but nothing seems to work. So I guess I'm just stuck with a dumb yellow screen.

    Hey all. I got the update the other night. Ever since I having the following issue when typing:

    Pressing the M key brings the cursor to the HOME position (beginning of the sentence)

    Pressing the B key brings up the brightness bar and raises the display brightness.

    I have checked to make sure all sticky keys, hotkeys, and shortcuts are off. 

    Has anyone else run into this and if so, how can I fix it? It is VERY annoying!

    Thanks!
