    Laptop unusable after Windows 10 update


    On Sunday 11th August 2024, there was a notification that my laptop needed to install an update for Windows 10 to enable it to continue getting security updates. The message gave the options of restarting now, setting a time, or something else.I began shutting down the open programs but just as I finished, it came up with Preparing to configure Windows 10.Then it counted up to 100%, said Restarting, then the rotating circle of dots just stopped rotating.After a long time, I tried to switch the machine off, but the power button wasn't responding either.Eventually, I succeeded in switching off.T

    Laptop turns unusable after latest windows 10 update

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Community.

    We have to make sure that the Windows Update is installed properly on your laptop. To check if it is installed already, please follow these steps:

    • Press the Win + I buttons.
    • Select Update & Security.
    • Click View installed update history. The latest update should have been installed and dated last week.
    If your laptop does not have the latest update yet, you can manually get the update by following the above steps 1 and 2, then select
    Check update.

    In case that your laptop has already the latest Windows Update installed, please follow the troubleshooting steps on this

    link    .

    Let us know if any issues arise.

    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
