Windows 10: Fear Of Allowing Win 10 Update Because Of Past Bad Experiences

Hello,

I recently (within the last 4 days) received a notification that Win 10 needed to update because of something dating back to a last-supported date of April. I don't recall the exact wording because my 'notification' panel is not showing anything -- most likely I closed that panel and the notification disappeared.

I am in mortal fear of allowing the update because in the past 'all hell broke loose' when I did so! This has happened at least 2 times. These are the issues I have experienced:

(1) All my laboriously-created settings were either changed or re-initialized to something Microsoft decided to set them
to.

(2) I was forcibly presented with a kind of 'dark theme' which to me was quite ghastly and I resented it greatly.

I had no idea if there was some kind of setting in the new (updated) Win 10 as to how to reset everything back to the way it was before. In each case (twice) I ended running a 'restore' to get Win 10 back to way it was before and I was extremely happy!

I don't like having these updates shoved down my throat. Even if the support is no longer there I want to be able to make my own choice as to whether I will update or not.

Can someone kindly tell me if there is a way to have my Win 10 maintain my current settings if I go ahead and accept the update, or if there is a way to disable the update process from taking place? I am in mortal fear of doing a 'shutdown' or 'restart' because of my bad experiences in the past.

My thanks to all in advance!

:)

 

geforce experience takes an age to load..

Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.

 

win 10 update leaves vertical pink line on screen

today i applied latest win 10 update and now i have a vertical pink line on screen, it remains on every screen. i have tried these fixes

Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan,
System File Checkeris a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
• After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

Step 2: Also, I suggest you to update the display drivers and check.

Steps to Update the Display Adapter driver.

• Press Windows key + Xkey when you are at desktop.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapter.
• Right on the Display Adapter and click on
  Update driver software

BUT i still have the line on screen.
