Windows 10: Have to power down manually after latest update...

Update forced on 8/18 caused the same issues on two of my computers running W10 .

Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081444)

Updates were downloaded and all of a sudden I get about a dozen or so blank objects on my desktop that look like note files. However there are no names underneath them, you can't open them, delete them, get properties, anything. Also, can't get start menu to open up, and any task bar items I roll my cursor across disappear as I do that till I have nothing left.

So, go to shut down and it attempts to do that, but after a few minutes it just pops back up to the same screen before I tried to shut down.

I had to physically power down both computers, then power back on to get all functionality in my system. All seems to be working fine now, just curious if anyone knows what may have caused this.

Hating the forced W10 updates... about to apply the registry hack not to autocheck for updates till MS comes around to their senses and gives us users the ability to manage updates on our own.

reset my asus notebook x205ta to windows 10 10586 build. cant work properly

I updated my notebook with latest version. Even i updated all drivers through Asus website. 80% problem solved but still hangs in setting menu. Shut down take longer. I have to press power off button to manually shut down.

 

After the latest windows 10 update my secondary drive keeps powering down, I can't work out how to stop it?

After the latest windows 10 update, my secondary drive keeps powering down, I can't work out how to stop it? The computer works fine, but after a few seconds of activity, I hear it power down. It never used to do this before the latest update.

I have tried to set the power settings to this: Pasteboard — Uploaded Image well it has always been that before and after the most recent update, however, it must have been applying to both drives but after the latest update it only seems to do it
for the SSD drive.

How do I stop my secondary normal HDD from powering down? Also is the fact that a normal recently purchased mechanical HDD powers down often, will it affect it or damage it, if not why?
