Windows 10: strange things happened on my desktop after WU update v1809 17763.504 just now Windows 10

I'd been working on my laptop since 11pm last night (UK - it's 1:07am now). When shutting it down I saw that there had been a WU - Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1809 for x64-based Systems. I powered it up again and found the following had happened:


(1) 40 or so icons had appeared on my desktop

(2) four Word documents, included my template Word (I'd changed the font & font size four days ago) had been auto-recovered and I had to decide which ones to keep.


Has this happened to anyone else?

:)

I do it like this if I decide to map as folder while browsing the network:

Step 1: Copy the full network path using CTRL + C.





Step 2: Right click on Computer and select Map Network Drive.





Step 3: Paste the path using CTRL + V.





Step 4: Verification it got mapped

 

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

Not sure about the games you listed but no probs with Dirt Rally and benching heavensward-bench here for me. I'm going to test 3DMark too in a few minutes.
