Windows 10: Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004

Hello:

I noticed yesterday, 06/11/20, that there was a 'Feature update to windows 10, version 2004'. I downloaded it, it took a long time, with many re-boots to complete. That was a major mistake on my part. From having a PC that was current on any updates and running smooth, many problems occurred with this "Feature update'. My short cuts not working, browsers not loading, anti-virus software getting stuck, extremely slow response times, if at all, Outlook not loading properly, no internet access, are just a few of the issues. After re-booting several times spending all day, trying to figure out what was going on, I decided to uninstall this 'Feature' update and go back to my previous Windows 10 version. No further problems, everything running smooth again. There has been issues before with updates from MicroSoft on Windows 10, I never had problems with Windows 7 updates before. Who is releasing these updates at MicroSoft without being tested extensively? Current: Windows 10 Pro, Version 1909, OS build 18363.900. Please respond......

:)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
