  1. Laptop almost completely unusable after Windows update


    List of issues the new update caused on my computer:


    Task manager has completely stopped working


    Unable to open any folder that is withing a folder


    Extreme lag I get 6 fps on a simple tetris game i made


    Unable to close any tab, be it chrome or for example, Steam, with the X button in the corner of the screen


    Microsoft Teams have stopped working And probably more but i cant launch them because of the other issues


    If a pop-up window, for example an malwarebytes update notice, opens, it gets stuck and cannot be removed unless the laptop is restarted




    And more which for the sake of my own hands i won't list here


    I first noticed the issues after i woke up and tried to join my online class on Teams, which i have within a folder that is within a folder, so i couldn't open it, then when i tried to open it through the search bar, it loaded for at least 30m and didn't do anything, after that i ran a virus scan I used ESET but nothing came up, i then backed up everything important and tried to fix it with no luck


    Any help will be appreciated

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Laptop almost completely unusable after Windows update :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
