Windows 10: Location is not available after Windows 10 update

This morning there was a notification that the system was performing an update.After a number of hours the same message was still showing.

After a hard reset there is a Location is not available message.C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable.

The laptop is

Toshiba Satellite S50-B-12Z 15.6-inch Notebook (Metal) - (Intel Core i7-4510U 2.0 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, 2 GB AMD R7 Graphics, Windows 8.1 upgraded to Windows 10)

The only thing on the screen is a Recycle bin link.

The clock as been reset to the month/date/year format from the previous date/month/year format.

The link to shut down/Restart is unresponsive.

Not sure about the games you listed but no probs with Dirt Rally and benching heavensward-bench here for me. I'm going to test 3DMark too in a few minutes.

 

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
