Windows 10: Windows 10 latest major update causing major restart, shutdown, and network issues.

Since the last major update a few weeks ago, my 1 year old computer that has NEVER had any of the following issues prior to this update is plagued by:


Won't shut down properly. Hangs - Have to force shutdown with power button.

Won't restart properly. Hangs - Have to force shutdown with power button.

Upon restarting, can't login. Text on login screen disappears leaving just the background image. - Have to force shutdown with power button and second time I can log on normally.

Intermittent loss of wired network connection for no reason. - Have to restart at least twice as above with forced shutdowns.

Intermittent loss of ability to print to wireless printer. I can print to it fine, after a reboot, I can no longer print to it.


I use this computer daily for work and it has become a frustrating waste of time dealing with these things on an almost daily basis.

Windows 10 is not getting the latest major update

It would appear the the "latest major update for November" has been pulled from Windows Update.

 

Microsoft Gives Windows 10 a Major Performance Boost

I have. There was a major bug in one of the prerelease updates that caused a BSOD boot loop on restart. Heaps of people had it.

 

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.
