    Windows update 8/21/19. My computer is like back to all default settings?


    Today I had an unexpected Windows update that lasted forever repeatedly re starting. Now I have lost Chrome, all my personal settings, all my short cuts won't open and are asking for an app to open? Can't get to my email so on and on. Can anyone help? I tried to restore, Nope. I tried to find the download and trouble shoot, Nope. The PC is like a new computer when you first start up now? Help?

    :)

    Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

    I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

    "Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

    1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

    2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

    I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

    It was a helpful post. Thanks!
