    Why does Windows update destroy my browser session?


    Because of security concerns I let Windows update automatically, big mistake.

    It destroys browser sessions, which can't always be restored.

    Browser developers have worked very hard to allow users to continue with their previous session after a shutdown.

    But for some reasons Windows insists on destroying that.

    Now I've turned Windows update off, too expensive.

    If you want people to automatically update, don't rip them apart when you do that.

    Hibernate doesn't work on my machine either, but I guess that doesn't matter when update breaks my stuff anyway.

    :)

    Why does Windows update destroy my browser session?

    Cumulative Update KB4338819 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.165 - July 10


    This update totally destroyed me, which was not totally unexpected.

    I have noticed that update issues are fairly common occurrences.

    Microsoft must have a site that lists step by step actions that they want you to take when Windows 10 Updates and trashes a system?

    Does such a site exist? Where do I go to get help?

    Recovering Windows 10 After an Update

    Step 1:
    sfc /scannow

    Step 2:
    Dism

    Step 3:
    etc.. Uninstall Video Drivers and reinstall
