  1. The latest update broke my PC


    Yesterday Night I decided to install the latest Windows update. After two hours of updating, my PC restarted. I was able to log in, but the interface looked like it did when I started my PC the first time and had no Graphics Drivers installed. So I thought ok, guess I need to update them. It turns out the only program I can open is Task Manager, my Desktop Icons dont work and most of them are just white and whenever I put my Cursor over the Task Bar or the Search Bar it turns into the loading Symbol and I cant search anything. Whenever its on my general screen it always shows a loading Symbol next to it. I dont know what I can do to fix this. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thunderbird Daily's latest update broke the program

    The latest update 60.0a1 (2018-02-01) totally broke the software. It won't connect to my email server, rendering it useless for email. It also won't show my calendar, or task list, won't show the Options window, and won't show What's New either.

    I've got a Macrium backup from which I can restore the previous version, but it's set for auto update which means as soon as I start it the same bad update will get installed.
