Windows 10: Fall creators upgrade messed up my system

In my first attempt,. after removing lots of software, I got the same thing - every other boot worked fine. What motherboard and processor do you have?

I am unwilling to do a fresh install because of the licensed software I have, particularly an older photoshop (last version before they went subscription), and it is a painful ordeal dealing with Adobe to get the license.

 

I totally get why you're not willing to perform a clean install - especially as I had the issues ever after doing so.

Processor is an Intel i7 i5820K, motherboard an MSI X99A Raider.

I'm going to call the support of the software that caused my personal problems later so they'll hopefully have a deeper look at it and might get in touch with the Microsoft support as well.

Stuff like that f*cks me up as hell

 

iobit Advanced system care will make windows 10 more stable and smoother and avast free antivirus will protect your computer from almost all viruses.

 

Did anyone start a thread about this at the Microsoft / Win support?
Talking about the issue here as well and another software was mentioned to cause problems. Panda Security Forum - View topic - Windows 10 Fall Creators Update support?

Moreover, a user linked this Fall Creators, the new Windows 10 upgrade - Panda Security Didn't check yet if there is any option to "reduce" or remove parts of the fluent design, but the fluent design parts are the stuff we got trouble with.

 

Same issue with start menu, taskbar and this with clean install. I should note that the problem was not there until I installed Avast AV. Did not think it was the AV and after an hour of searching and various supposed fixes got fed up and returned to CU. This is a wide-spread problem it seems. MS has gotten into a bad habit of pushing out betas as RTM. Will wait a few weeks/months and several patches later before I touch FCU again.

 

I'm having same problem updated last week and now everything messed up. Anything taskbar related or windows 10 features is not working appears frozen. When shutting down i get Task Host id stopping background tasks (Microsoft \ Windows \ Plug and Play \ Device Install Reboot required). So i go to play bf4 (the only game i really play) it crashes other games appear to be working but of course the game i always play doesnt. I have 2 r9 390's in crossfire so of course it might be amd problem game works with 1 disabled. Sooooooo i uninstalled all amd software 17.10.3 and used windows update to install amd software drivers which is 17.1.2 or something like that. Now bf4 works and taskbar is working also no task host problem on shut down. This problem is repeated when i reinstall the updated drivers 17.10.3 i guess i have to find one that works with this creators update. Any help would be appreciated sounds like both microsoft and amd has problem and don't know or don't care. I'll keep fiddling around see what works and dont work.

i really wish micro would stop using the word update when every 6 months it 's a full-blown iso replacement. with that said when they do these "updates" it's advised to do a clean install.

 

Why? I've got healthy computer systems that have upgraded all the up from the original build 10240.

 

No problems here either and now on 17025.1000. And I only use Defender.

 

Well that is just peachy for you *Smile

 

Hi, I've same problem and I've found 2 ways, how to "repair" it. But it must be done after every reboot.

• if it happen, just press Ctrl+Alt+Del, select logout user, confirm close blocking TaskHostWindow Windows message and after new login everything works OK.
• Later I've found, that problem is with service named WpnUserService_????? (????? is some numbers, which changes after reboot). If I kill this service, start menu immediately works OK. I've made small program, which find service named WpnUserService_*, kill it and then start service again. If problem happen, I'm just start this program and it works OK.

Hope it helps someone.

I'm using Comodo IS. If Comodo NOT installed, it happen rarely (1 from 30 reboots), if Comodo installed, it happen every second reboot.

Hope someone find better solution!

Using winver 1709 16299.64

 

On other thread I've found solution: Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Sign In Options and turn off "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or a restart". This appears to prevent the windows start menu hang from happening.
It worked for me OK.

 

Tried that about a week ago and it worked. Until the problem reappeared a few days later.

 

This sounds exactly like the problem I posted ie > Taskbar Items Not Working?

I had a critical windows update which was probably the CU update. Also I had downloaded Malwarebytes Ver 3.0 at same time. Then My task bar was non-operational. Had to do a system restore to go back to a few days earlier. Working ok for now.
