Windows 10: CAN MICROSOFT STOP WITH THE UPDATES ON WINDOWS 10...

**Not really a question, but more of a poor experience and hope fellow people with windows10 can avoid what happened to my computer.


*If you don't feel like reading this story nor spending some time to read this, then basically If you own a windows 10, beware an update when shutting down can become corrupted on its own and ruin your PC forcing u to waste time to figure out hoe to fix it so try one way or another to avoid it.


Basically, it was just a normal day and night where nothing else was downloaded with normal performance on the PC, but a bloody annoying FORCED update when shutting down the computer. Do note that the computer was functioning perfectly fine for the past days, weeks and months until this update.


When turning on the computer the next morning, I was welcomed with the blue screen and that autorepair couldn't fix the issue. So, after browsing around the internet and forums here, I found people who had the same issue in the past years. I am not even going to bother with all the dumb command prompts proposed solution that may not even work and have begun to wipe my PC back to factory. While the progress is still going, I just hope to get a FUNCTIONING computer.


I have no need for microsoft updates that may not even help improve the performance of my computer or whatever stupid things it supposedly does aside from potentially harming your computer and causing you to waste a ton of time trying to find the issue. Stop forcing updates on windows 10 or whatever future windows the company comes up with. It is useless and redunant if the computer works fine without updates and don't come up with some bs lie like, "oh, but it actually does,"

Microsoft Botches Up UEFI Support for Windows 7 on ASUS Motherboards

MICROSOFT HAS confirmed a potentially lappy-borking problem that it won't be fixing, because Windows 7.

Woody Leonhard, the respected Windows columnist, points to a problem involving Asus motherboards, which also appear rebadged in a variety of other manufacturers' machines, and the activation of UEFI Secure Boot for Windows 7 in a patch KB3133977.

Short version: install update, welcome to Borksville, population you.

Both Asus and Microsoft acknowledged the problem. Microsoft entitled the article "BitLocker can't encrypt drives because of service crashes in svchost.exe process in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2", but we prefer to just call it "Trevor for brevity."

The firm's advice was that it's an optional update, leave well alone, you'll be fine, or alternatively turn secure boot off.

Then Microsoft did a silly, silly thing.

It moved the update from 'optional' to 'recommended' and anyone who reads this site regularly will know what happens when Microsoft does this. That's right boys and girls - it makes it automatically install, unless you've specifically told your machine not to.

So now, if you have one of the affected motherboard and you keep your security updates automatic like wot Microsoft recommends, then your machine will stop working properly.

We should add it's not permanently bricked, but it will take some mucking about in the BIOS to fix and that's a pain even for an experienced computer user.

Microsoft has, by offering a workaround, suggested heavily that it won't be fixing the problem, though we have asked the question, so expect a response in about a fortnight.

But the real kicker is this piece of advice: "Note The Secure Boot feature is supported in Windows 10. To learn more about the security advantages of this feature and about the upgrade path from Windows 7 to Windows 10, go to the following Windows website"

Holy toledo, this company really knows how to rub people up the wrong way.

After all - if the advice is to manually avoid the update or move to a version of the operating system where there's virtually no control over updates, then Microsoft is dealing in massive contradictions.

A more cynical site would suggest that it's yet another example of Microsoft running Windows 7 into the ground and adding built in obsolescence to encourage quicker updates. But we're not that sort of site.

Its the patching to force secure boot that is the problem win 7 does not support secure boot
hence it borks systems and well microsofts answer is Cactus >your Asshole > insert

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.

 

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Microsoft has already said this can be turned off.............................in a statement no less after the graphics driver glitches.
