Windows 10: Windows 10 Update issue(s)

About to throw in the towel. I used to have a clue about this stuff, but my attention has been wandering and am no longer as fluent in this as I used to be. In any event, I have an older (approx 10 yrs) Gateway FX6800-01e that I have been managing to run Windows 10 on reasonably successfully until lately. Updating has not been successful, the attached shows what has been happening:





I've been trying to piece together and work through some of the myriad suggestions / solutions I have seen on-line, to not avail.


I have gotten to the point that I wonder if it is related to my hard drive / SSD setup and what I can do to resolve this.




Disk 1 is a Samsung SSD, and all I can really say is that at some point this made sense to me? Not as much any more. If there is something that you see that I should focus on and address, I would appreciate it. Be gentle.....

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

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
