  1. Finding out what was removed by windows update


    So, here's the story:

    The recent Major update apparently uninstalled a program that I had installed, and now I have a hole in my start menu.

    Furthermore, it appears that this program was one that I paid for, and that other parts of my rig relied on components of this program.

    Busted, Microsoft!

    Now, I am having a brain fart in that I don't remember the program or where I have the installer, so where is the log file of the update so I can figure out what Microsoft removed?

    Windows 10 1909

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

    Finding out what was removed by windows update

    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 Finding out what was removed by windows update :) Best regards.


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