  1. Today’s Windows Update broke everything. How to roll back?


    Today I allowed a Windows update to run & restart my Lenovo laptop. At restart my bluetooth quit working. Troubleshooting stated Bluetooth wasn’t available. I was using BT speakers daily before the update. I decided to Shut Down then restart. Now the start up process doesn’t seem to complete. My taskbar icons don’t appear. My pointer spins & spins. I can’t even click on the Windows Start button.Help!

    :)

    Today's Update Broke Me & My OS

    I am getting some serious issues after rebooting my PC today to install updates!
    My Service Host DCOM is using g 30+% of my CPU after the reboot and when I click on any windows apps on the task bar nothing happens.
    I cannot open edge, mail, or the windows start menu and I get nothing when right clicking.
    If I open chrome it just sits at a white screen with a page unresponsive showing.
    Trying to uninstall silver light that was installed with the update today but that is just stuck on preparing to remove.
    This update seriously has screwed my computer... Well done MS. =(


    Tried doing a system restore back to March 11th but it just keeps failing with an 0x80070091 error.
    Wow this update....
    I would suggest to NOT update your PC today!
    I assume the update did not fully install and broke much of the core services?

    Today’s Windows Update broke everything. How to roll back?

    Microsoft withdraws bad Windows 7 update that broke future Windows 7 updates

    "Unfortunately, this apparently simple change has had severe consequences for some users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, with users reporting that Windows Update, drivers from both Nvidia and AMD, and some third-party software including Virtual Box are all unable to install correctly. The error code 0x8004FF91 seems to be a common finding."

  10. How to update after rolling back

    in Windows 10 Updates and Activation
    How to update after rolling back: So I rolled back the 393 build to the 372 build. Windows is smart enough to not re-update me to 393 when Windows check for updates. There should be a check box or something to allow the update. So now I want to go to 393 again but WU is not seeing it. How do I force it ?...
