    April 14 update has completely messed up my PC. Help!


    I installed the latest Microsoft update for Windows 10 at the end of the day April 14. When I went to log in the next morning everything had slowed down. I mean really slowed down, like 5 to 10 mins after I’d clicked on something it might happen. I can hear the computer running/thinking but everything is taking ages or not working at all.

    - I’ve tried to reboot several times. No luck.

    - We tried to defrag, that took forever and only completed 92% then stalled, all night. We finally had to shut down and restart but there was no improvement.

    - we tried to update our virus software thinking that would help but no luck.

    - I am right now trying to uninstall the latest update but I’m 20 mins in and the window that pops up with the green bar and says “Please wait while updates are being uninstalled” shows no sign that its doing anything.


    This has made my computer useless and any help you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    :)

    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 April 14 update has completely messed up my PC. Help! :) Best regards.


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