Windows 10: Microsoft did it again. Another update that breaks everything. Anyone have real suggestions?

I'm suddenly dealing with my Cyberlink Youcam9 web cam software being blocked and my AMD Radeon graphics card unable to update. I check my Windows update and get a message that Windows has been failing to update with this message: "There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004 - Error 0xc1900204."


I regularly check my device manager to keep all my drivers up to date.


I've been living with the unanswered problem that a ton of my icons now appear so tiny that I can't even see them.


It's the same old story that I've had to put up with regularly on Windows updates. I've run both DISM and sfc /scannow with successful reported results, but nothing is fixed. The only answer I get is to do a complete clean re-installation, which is of course ridiculous since I have years of installations that I'd have to recreate. And all of this when my system overall has been working fine with occasional small problems that are resolvable or I've become inured to living with the breakdowns.


Repeatedly MS insists on cramming their bundled software, changing my settings to their desired defaults, forcing me to spend a lot of time to reset my default app choices.


Why do they do this? None of their "engineers" seem to understand the principle that if it ain't broke, you shouldn't try to fix it.


Yes, I'm extremely annoyed. These are enormous wastes of my time that always set me to wondering why I continue to spend money on their products over so many years.


As always, the links and instructions are useless and only send you down deep rabbit holes of myriads of dead ends. I can't recall how many times I've sent them feedbacks with full documentation of problems and pursued recommended solutions that don't work.


Can they just get their poop all in a pile and fix this garbage?

Microsoft is at it Again - Breaking Google Toolbar

This is the second cumulative update released by Microsoft this month which breaks Google toolbar's Search History and suggestions features in IE 11 under Windows 10. Microsoft, Please stop!!!

The offending updates are KB3197954, KB3194798 which must be removed to restore this feature.

P.S. KB Updates KB3185330, KB3192403, and KB3192391 break these same features in Windows 7.

 

Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

Hi,



Apologies for the late reply.



Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



Try the following steps:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command
  
• 
  Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter
  
• 
  Search for the programs and un-install it.
  

Regards,
