Windows 10: WIndows 10 Update issues

I am currently running Windows 10 Build 18956rs prerelease and tried updating to Insider Preview 18980.1, During the process, it initially downloaded and attempted to install the update but hung up. I waited 12 hours before rebooting. After reboot, the computer/laptop turned on but began having issues with the start menu and inability to close any of my Microsoft office suite products without going to the taskbar and closing the program. So far this has impacted Word and Excel which are two of the most frequently used. I also now get an error code Error Ox80070490 when I try to get the above-mentioned update. I went to the Microsoft page to try to get the update directly. When I entered the update I was looking for and language then hit enter I got the following message:
We encountered a problem with your request. Please visit Microsoft Support Contact Us page for assistance. Refer to Message Code 715-123130 and Transaction ID f603877c-0334-4b46-ad20-192df10b1045.

I have tried to contact Microsoft directly and received a telephone call back from a rep saying he was unable to help me at this time because he was having issues with his work station. I then tried to go into chat with Microsoft and have been waiting for over 30 minutes without any response. Any help with this is deeply appreciated.

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 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
