2021-01-24T23:51:47+00:00 I haven't posted here in quite awhile, but have been following the carnage. Totally makes me sick to read all these problems.
I rolled back to Version 1909 a long time ago-- WHEN I COULD--on Win 10 HOME after the 2020 update ruined my machine for the most part. I have set up delayed updates, but the ones below were recently force installed.
Why have a security update for Adobe Flash Player when the player is no longer supported? I uninstalled that one. Perhaps I should have left it. ???
Since getting the other 3 KB's..... I've had to reinstall some apps on my machine. Some apps just totally would not open at all and some disappeared entirely. I restarted the computer (hoping it would fix the problem) before I reinstalled the apps in question. NOPE... had to reinstall.
I'm not tech-savy as many of you are, so for me, simple things to you are a problem for me. I'm only able to delay updates until mid-February. IDK what I'm going to do if I get the problems y'all are having. I know mrdbeta is not a big fan of Mac's, but it seems like it may be the only other option if MS keeps force-futzing with our machines and turning them into bricks.
To have MS tell people they need to spend $500 or more to fix what they broke has me SMH and worse. I'm sure thousands of people have already spent money on new computers, parts, taking them to repair shops, etc. to get their machines working again. It's almost criminal.
Not looking for answers here, just adding to the chaos and wondering if anyone else had problems with the above updates --if in fact they were the KB's y'all had forced on ya.
EDIT: Another issue I forgot to mention: since these updates, I have printer issues. I have the latest drivers installed for the printer. When I look at printer hardware in control panel, it now shows my printer as HP"Model#" and then another item that says HP"Model#" (copy1.) When I go to print something it sometimes reverts to copy 1 as my default printer and shows offline. I have to play with the settings to make the first item my default printer. Other times I have to turn off/on printer several times. Frustrating!! I never had (copy1) show before these latest updates. I'm stumped on that one.
Stay safe. Walking away SMH!!!!!!

2021-01-24T15:11:19+00:00 So honestly posting a review of this update after 10 days , this update has slowed down the process of restarting my laptop from 2 min to 10 min , it takes lot of time to enter the login screen , and i am seeing some performance dips also , seeing the replies and critics of this update , so , yah , this update has been a catastrophic failure by microsoft and i hope this update does not brick even more devices around the world .
regards,
