Windows 10: I just escaped the worst Windows 10 Update Change Ever

I just escaped it.
Thanks to a previous system restore point.

I first tried the recommended method, but it didn’t work.

So, I had this lucky August 11th restore point that rolled back, and the clock’s finally functional again. Productivity restored.

This confirms it: no more Windows Updates, and likely my final Windows OS.
I’ll stick with vanilla 22H2 ISOs and manually apply KB5061768 from the Microsoft Catalog.

Unless Windows 12 looks and behaves like Windows 10, I’m dual-booting and switching to Linux for good.

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
