  1. Win 10 Update wiping out entered documents and bookmarks


    I have 4 computers. They all update within a day or two of each other. 3 of the computers are updating with no problems at all. One HP Desktop computer started wiping out all entered information, bookmark saved to Yahoo and Chrome, and just about everything that was entered in before the update . This has been going on for at least 4 updates now. Any one else having this problem?

    :)

  3. Wipe and install Win 7


    Confusing.
    I assume you mean "not happy" instead of "beyond happy".

    At the very least you'll need:
    1. A legitimate W7 install disk and Product Key
    2. KB976932 Service Pack 1
    3. Driver install files
    4. KB3020369 Prerequisite for KB3125574
    5. KB3125574 W7 SP1 Update Rollup (Windows will be updated to April 2016)

    Then follow this tutorial:

    Once you have successfully installed W7, the updates listed above and the drivers, install a program like Macrium Reflect and create at least 2 Backup System Images (on different external HDDs).

    Once you have created the Backup System Images, you can risk downloading the remaining updates for W7.
    I only install the Security-Only updates (and some fixes for them):

    Note:
    You'll also need to apply IE and .NET updates separately.

    Win 10 Update wiping out entered documents and bookmarks

    Google Chrome keeps resetting bookmarks position

    Can you list what tasks/steps you've done thus far in your attempt to resolve it?

    Have you logged off your profile (if using Sync) and done a complete wipe of the browser?

    How about uninstall and then wipe any remaining data?

    Do you have another device you can sort on that it works fine or you could test with?
