Windows 10: The latest Windows 10 update left me without internet and sound

I just want to express my sincere frustration by letting the bunch of mentally disabled people who work on digging the Windows graveyard know that you just wasted at least 1h 30 of my life when I was just minding my business using this dying product of yours. I got a prompt that I need to restart my PC for an update ( the latest one as of the date I post this) and ignored it. In 15 minutes my Wireless networked stopped working and the wireless icon in the taskbar turned red. 0 networks. I'm more than 1h into this, after trying to uninstall the update, reinstall whatever drivers I can, etc. and it is still not fixed.


I cannot wait for Windows to go to its graveyard. I'm so happy that Android is slowly turning into a desktop OS too and surpassed Windows in terms of usage anyway for amount of users. This will not get me the time wasted back, but it feels good to know that karma is alive and well. I'm also aware that it is my choice to use Windows and not other platforms (due to the software that is present on Windows tough...)


Oh and my sound also stopped working, thanks for the bonus!
