  1. Why does Windows 10 feature update still reset user settings?


    Question as titled, I'm very irritated because this happens still. This has happened since Windows 7 on every feature update... We are in 2019..... Why does Microsoft continue to allow Windows OS feature updates to reset user settings? This is an absolute time dump for people and is completely unnecessary. Since there is no Feedback Hub, I'm posting this here because this is uncalled for and settings should easily be transitioned through an update.


    Also, since I'm here, why does Microsoft continue to make Windows settings more and more difficult to navigate through? I had to make my own shortcut to access Sound Control Panel, for crying out loud... you used to be able to simply double click the Sound icon in the taskbar tray to open this, now you have to go into Sound Settings and Sound Control Panel is under related settings. And you can't even pin the Sound shortcut to the taskbar... This is a mockery to anyone using audio interfaces, multiple speakers, or microphones. Why do we seriously have to go through multiple pages upon pages to access such simple things?

    Windows 10 is by far the least user-efficient experience in all of the Windows OS I have used since Windows 95. I have used Windows 95, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10.


    And I thought Vista was bad.

    "Hi All,
    We stronly advise Comodo users not to update to latest MS update KB4022716, which is available for Windows 10 users till they have new fixed version of Comodo internet security products installed.

    Affected Products:
    - Comodo Internet Security / Comodo Antivirus / Comodo Firewall (Affected versions: v6246 and below)
    - Comodo Cloud Antivirus (Affected versions: v533 and below)
    - Internet Security Essentials (Affected versions: v81 and below)
    - Comodo Secure Shopping (Affected versions: v97 and below)

    Possible Problems:
    In case you have updated to MS update KB4022716 prior to updating to latest fixed version of Comodo products, following issues may appear:

    - Crashing browsers
    - May not be able to login to Windows

    Resolution:
    If you are able to login, you can uninstall Comodo and re-install latest fixed Comodo version. Else you need to go to Windows Safe Mode and uninstall Comodo product or re-store system to state before Comodo product was installed.

    In case you want to keep Comodo and pause Windows updates for some time, you may use following steps:
    Step - 1: Click on Start icon on Windows
    Step - 2: Next click on Settings menu item, it will open "Windows Settings" window
    Step - 3: Select "Update & Security" section from there and it will show "Windows Update" section
    Step - 4: Click on "Advanced Options" next, there is "Pause Updates" section allowing you to pause Windows updates for next several days

    You can find same steps with images here .

    Reason:
    There are unexpected changes in last MS update KB4022716, which are incompatible with Comodo products.

    Why does Windows 10 feature update still reset user settings?

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
