    Last microsoft update on my laptop rendered it unusable for my job....


    Hello, not sure if I even put his in the right category....but allot of you are smarter than me! What can I do to get my mic, my audio input to work again after the last "updates" which killed my ability to work online. Bad timing eh? I did go in and update the sound drivers, but it is all geek to me--- I mean Greek to me... I work online as an ESL tutor and that has come to a grinding halt.....

    thanks in advance

    :)

  2. critical updates keep rendering laptop unuseable

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I can understand that must make you feel upset and we will work toward fixing this situation for you.

    To better assist you, please answer the following questions:

    1. When you say "cannot access my laptop", are you referring to being unable to boot the laptop?

    2. Is it a particular update that is causing the issue?

    3. What exactly is the KB number of the update?

    Follow the steps below to check the KB number of the update:

    1. Press Windows key + R.

    2. Type appwiz.cpl and press enter to open programs and features.

    3. Click "view installed updates" on the left pane.

    4. Locate the update and note down the KB number.

    Updates are installed periodically to improve and enhance the performance of the operating system. It is unusual that the update would cause problem to your operating system. In order to identify if the update is causing the issue, I would suggest you to
    try uninstalling the update and check again. To uninstall the update, follow the steps given above to check the KB number, right click on the update and uninstall it.

    If uninstalling the update resolves the issue, follow the steps given in the help article on
    How to temporarily prevent a Windows or driver update from reinstalling in Windows 10


    Let us know the result.
