  1. Microsoft forced update destroyed my system.


    A forced Microsoft update process, underway today without my knowledge when I shut down my up-til-then perfectly functioning Windows 10 tablet, has completely destroyed the Windows bootup. Automatic Recovery cannot fix it. There is no system restore point. The system is mysteriously unable to reset the machine. The installation is, in effect, totally destroyed. The device cannot access wifi. My computer has been reduced to a flat brick. It is a refurbished tablet. I do not have media from which to reinstall. The OEM installation discs are back at the computer store where I bought it, with the license key. Microsoft has left me in a worse state than if I had been hacked. On top of this, they provide no support whatsoever. I paid for the product. Microsoft destroyed it. I am left holding my doodle. Microsoft says, apparently, tough ****. How is it possible 1/ that this rubbish can still happen, and 2/ Microsoft can still get away with it?

    As to what I am now supposed to do, God only knows.

    :)

    Cumulative Update KB4338819 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.165 - July 10

    This update totally destroyed me, which was not totally unexpected.

    I have noticed that update issues are fairly common occurrences.

    Microsoft must have a site that lists step by step actions that they want you to take when Windows 10 Updates and trashes a system?

    Does such a site exist? Where do I go to get help?

    Recovering Windows 10 After an Update

    Step 1:
    sfc /scannow

    Step 2:
    Dism

    Step 3:
    etc.. Uninstall Video Drivers and reinstall

    Microsoft forced updates

    Hello,

    A driver is a program that controls a device that is connected to your computer. Having an outdated driver after installing a Windows update may cause functionality issues due to incompatibility and this may be the reason you're experiencing screen flickering.
    To resolve the said issue, we suggest that you refer
    here
    which lists all troubleshooting steps suitable for screen flickering in Windows 10.
