    They don't care. Period. I think this "update" was designed to purposely destroy devices to force users to buy replacement devices they otherwise did not need or could not afford to increase profit margins during the pandemic.

    Absolutely agreed. This is a mich more widespread issue than Microsoft is leading everyone to believe. Start flooding Microsoft's social media with the issues you've faced and its less than helpful customer service response. If thousands of people are experiencing update related issues and are being forced to pay for refurbished replacement devices, Microsoft is making bank, and this type of predatory business practice is a PR nightmare when social media turns against a company.

    I do wish that updates that are screwing everybody's computers were removed as soon as you realise rather than let the rest of the world continue to blunder through and fu####g up their own computers. 

     I'm not too computer savvy and probably the only way I'm going to fix this non responsive pc is to do a reinstall of my original setup from my back up discs. 

    Thanks for nothing! 

    Why would they stop? Microsoft are aware that their updates ignore individual user tweaks and reset many things to their own default. That in itself doesn't usually stop a computer working, but it does take me - and I surmise millions of other customers - hours of work to try to restore what they've broken. I'm just interested to know whether they do it because they're inept or just don't care about their customers.
