Windows 10: Trying to go back to a lower windows 10 build

Hello there,


I am enrolled in the windows insider program dev channel, and my current os build is 20170.1000. Right now I am suffering some glitches while playing video games FPS suddenly drops down from 144 to 30, and I want to go back to the previous beta channel version which is 19042.421. Unfortunately I have already deleted the old.windows folder from C drive, is there another way to do it instead of installing a clean windows version? I don't really want to reset all the settings. I appreciate the help in advance.


Sincerely,


Tony Zhang.

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.

no, you can't go back..
I suggest creating a backup image of your os drive

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
