    Three thingsJoe13 B-) 2.0 2.0"):

    1. I think about 99% of us posting here have a legit copy of Windows. And it's about time GREEDY Microsoft made Windows FREE anyway! But that's another Oprah! The patch updates downloads but it breaks during the install and generates error and for some unlucky ones, it does install but wipes out their system, etc.
    2. It's really ANNOYING for you as a Tech Support person to assume it's us and it couldn't be angelic Microsoft messing up and prematurely releasing to Production!
    3. Please post the link to this would-be "Ask a Question".  It's really hard to find anything on Microsoft's website!! I'm so frustrated!!!!

    Thanks

    I saw your replies. Please check if your copy of Windows is pirated, because as I know, most issues occur in pirated Windows copies (not mentioned for @Lvr19, I don't want to scare him.).

    Also, please don't ALWAYS use this thread as a place to ask solutions for your update troubles; instead, click the 'Ask a question button' on top of this page and ask.

    It downloads o'right but it fails to install luckily for most of us as you mentioned. It installed for the unlucky ones and wreaked havoc on their systems! I postponed the updates to 2/19 hoping the incompetent developers at MS fix it by then! I'm shocked Microsoft is so indifferent and reckless releasing untested BS to Production but then again that has always been Microsoft's greedy modus operandi; release early to make more money and worry about patches later! They NEVER QA anything, I don't think!  And you notice how all the moderators fled Dodge? No one's here to help or recall this update!

    Well I came here to find out why, after dozens of tries over the past few days, this particular KB4598242 update will NOT download & install on my work computer.  After reading just a few minutes on this website, I am damn glad my computer wouldn't take it.  Too bad Bill Gates couldn't spend a few of his billions of dollars he has earned off selling up this **** to actually make it work.

    Ever since my Windows 10 updated the other day, I'm having a lot of problems.

    My Incredimail software won't show a date and time in the upper right corner - that's also where it shows progress when I send an email. I'm assuming this is a problem with the flash not working now. Is there any way of getting around this?? 

    I'm getting a lot of videos freezing up on Youtube as well. It's so annoying!  Is this also related to flash?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
