Windows 10: Windows August Updates

My computer started having problems with the August Windows 10 updates. It was running slower and when I clicked to open a file it would not respond or sometimes it would come up then crash. And then if I was lucky, it did come up, it took a very long time. In July my computer was just fine. All my updates were successful no problems. I have never gotten an error screen on any updates. September updates completely messed up my computer.

I lost files, programs and some desk top icons. My desk top was changed back to the default blue windows screen, deleting my picture that I had on my desk top. Why did this happen and why can I not find my files, programs? I took it in to get fixed up, but the Techs could not restore my computer back to a prior date when it was running with no issues. I was then forced to get a new computer. But that did not help me at all because they could not transfer my files. I have read that I am not the only one that has lost files with this last update. Please tell me how can I recover my files from my old computer.

Thank you for your help.

August 2017 updated created problems with Windows Mail AGAIN!!

We appreciate your response and the efforts that you've done. Since the System File Checker tool and resetting the app didn't work, we suggest that you uninstall the update that happened on August 2, 2017. Once done, check the Mail app if it's acting the
same. Simply follow these steps to uninstall an update:

• Click on the Windows icon, then search for Check for updates.
• Under Check for updates, click on Update history.
• Click on Uninstall updates.
• Once done, look for any Security Update for Microsoft Windows and uninstall them.

If the Mail app started to work properly, it will be best if you defer the feature updates until the next patch.

We're looking forward to your feedback.

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
