    Installing Win10 update break all registry paths of executables


    After installing the last Win10 update, all my programs paths that were installed on disk D:\Programmes are changed to *:\Programmes. in the Registry (The D letter is changed by a star).

    It means that executable can no more run, neither uninstalled, nor re-installed (like LibreOffice for example)

    Instead of returning again to an old version (I've already done this 2 times), I would like to have a small batch script that modify the wrong paths to the correct ones in the Registry. Is it possible and how to do that ?

    Otherwise have I to re-install Windows ?
    Thanks.

    Windows 10 - Version 1909 - Build 18363.1016

    GPU-Z update loop (Windows 10 64-bit)

    Hmm .. need better steps to reproduce.

    The installer adds a key with the install path to the registry, which is checked against and then that "Update GPU-Z" box is displayed.
