    Win 10 update ruined my computer


    I will gladly dispose of any "ruined computer" that Windows 10 has "ruined". Just ship them to me and I will take care of disposing of the "ruined" hardware!

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Latest Microsoft Update completely ruined my computer :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Help With Latest Windows Update (Ruined my Computer)

    Hi Kyle,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand the inconvenience caused. I will be glad to assist you with this.

    When you say "update", are you referring to the latest November update?

    If so, please be informed that updates are meant to enhance the performance of the operating system.

    In order to identify if this due to corrupted or outdated drivers, I would suggest you to install the latest drivers by following the steps suggested by Andre Da Costa on
    How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10.

    I would also suggest you to run the system maintenance troubleshooter by following the steps below and check if it helps. System Maintenance troubleshooter looks for unused files and shortcuts that you can clean up or remove so that your computer can run
    faster.

    1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar and open it.

    2. Click on "view all" on the left pane.

    3. Run the system maintenance troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Do get back to us with the result. We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.
