Windows 10: Windows 10 borked after updating

Hello all,

I have an old laptop, aGateway MX6959. I have windows 10 installed on this machine and it runs great on Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.2212). After updating to any version since this build, my computer is messed up and a lot of stuff doesn't work. The internet does work and the device manager is a mess. The latest update to mess it up is Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.112).

Current Version





After Update Version





Some shots of my device manager are included.









Is there a reason why Windows 10 works fine as is, but one it updates it has all these problems? I recognize the computer is old and if its one of those "it is what it is" situations where its to old to proceed with windows 10, than so be it.

Thanks.

:)

 

Do windows updates slow down the computer?

its not windows 10 bill.. it can work fine as in my case.. until the next the next six monthly full update iteration.. then it gets borked.. each new update borked a new list of machines..

MS must be fully aware of this.. hence my comment that its deliberate.. you can say all the nice things you like but i aint gonna change my mind.. he he

let me put things simply.. ms has no right to deliberately bork perfectly good (but older) machine.. but that is exactly what they are doing.. and they are fully aware of it..

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
