  1. Issues with recently updated version of Windows 10


    Hi!


    I am having issues after updating my Windows 10 version 20H2.


    Timeframe: I installed the version yesterday.

    I have 2 issues:

    1 It deleted every single file in my computer. While that might have been expected for some, it was not for me. Luckily I had backups somewhere else, but I did lose some photos and other files. So if you are reading this and thinking of updating too: save everything beforehand.
    2 Now... moving to the most pressing stuff... The computer works perfectly and its even faster than before probably because it deleted everything. Nevertheless, it does not save the changes I make. For example: I log in and make Google Chrome my predetermined web browser. Then, I restarted the PC and this change was undone. Also, I downloaded a file and had it in my now empty files folder. When I restarted the PC it was gone. Deleted.


    What I have noticed/tried: the Start manu has a bunch of my old apps showing as folders, with which I cannot interact. I figured these old applications are interfering with the correct functioning of the PC -somehow making it go into an error and reverse all changes done in the last session. I uninstalled all of the apps that are not default for the system and am left with some problematic apps. I cannot uninstall the old versions of these apps due to an error code 0x80073d23. On other instances, it cannot proceed with the uninstallation because it cannot find the files in the system.


    I would appreciate any help with this one!

    :)

  2. New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

    Windows 10 Fall Creators Update problems and complaints
    • Installation problems with the Fall Creators Update
    • Microsoft Edge problems with the Fall Creators Update
    • Drivers problems with the Fall Creators Update
    • Experience problems with the Fall Creators Update
    keep in mind, as of recently, the FCU is installed on 5% of devices roughly.....

    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
