Windows 10: After windows Updatesall my personalized setting disappears

I nave a HP envy laptop. Recently whenever Windows updates all my personalized setting disappears. Information on some active programmes are reset to zero. All my Quick access folders are set to TEMP and are lost at the next update.

After each update I have to change the path of the Quick Access form TEMP so as not to lose data. I have to reset all my default APPs as they all revert to the microsoft recommended ones.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

  Press
  Windows+R and type gpedit.msc in the run command.

  In the window that appears, you can see the "Local Group Policy Editor" Window.

  In this step I want to Prevent Changing Theme file. You click on User Configuration sub-category Administrative Template sub-category Control Panel sub-category Personalization and click on the "Prevent
  Changing Theme".

• 
  In this step right-click on the "Prevent Changing Theme"and select the
  edit tab and click on the edit tab.

  In this step, if you click on the
  Enabled Button then you cannot change the Theme. You click on the Disable Button then you can change the Theme. You click on The Enable Button for Disabling the changing Theme or Prevent Changing Theme.
