    This last update hosed my laptop


    After this last update auto update my computer has had nothing but problems. The Start menu and Search Box don't work at all. The mouse settings are backwards. And, I can't get to Settings to reverse. Settings are nowhere to be found.I can't tell what Window version was installed because I can' t get there from my desktop at all. I'm getting the "file does not have an app associated with it" error message when I try to open anything is the desktop. My dropbox icon has disappeared and I can't find the file in Explorer. Quicken is looking in the wrong place for the data file. Basically

    :)

    Hosed update


    I have a dual boot set up (Linux + Windows) and my Win 10 partition is hosed since last update. The automatic repair will not accomplish anything and neither will advanced options get me anywhere. However, I can access the documents in the Win10 partition when I boot into Linux. Sounds like a NTLDR problem to me but I don’t know if Win10 still has this.

    Suggestions?

    This last update hosed my laptop

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond This last update hosed my laptop :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
