  1. Evil Windows 10 won't let us turn off Windows Updates


    I just tried going into settings-updates and secruity, and what do you know. When I try to go to advanced options to turn off windows updates the settings window freezes! Really microsoft, are you really going to try to stop us from turning off updates so you can't spy on us.


    And has anybody noticed how none of the trouble shooters ever work. What a joke. Windows is absolute rubbish.


    Thats the last straw for me. Goodbye Windows!

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows updates won't install!

    I had the same problem when i repaired my O/S, i forgot the steps on how to fixed it, but it is in the microsoft support forum.

    You have to reinstall the windows updater, then restart the updating service.
