    Windows Update breaks features and causes other problems


    Hello,


    My computer, which I got in July of 2018, came with Windows 10 version 1709 out of the box. I tried updating it to the latest version the same day I got it (which was then 1803). When I updated it, a number of problems (which I will describe below) have arisen so I immediately rolled back to the previous version and all was fine after then. Recently, Windows has been forcing me to update to 1803 and I have kept trying to push it back until I decided to finally update and rollback to stop it from bugging me. I thought that would let me keep 1709 for a while longer until it prompted me to restart so it can update back to 1803 again. Here are some of the problems that updating to 1803 (and 1809) have brought me:


    - Screen tearing on basic tasks such as scrolling

    - Slowed startup speeds

    - Lagginess on basic tasks

    - Not recognizing the second GPU (NVIDIA MX150)

    - Freezing up some of my games rendering them literally unplayable


    Hopefully someone here can guide me to either 1. permanently disabling Windows update forever so it will never bother me again or 2. Finding a fix to these problems that have come as a result to updating. I have already updated and rolled back about 5 times now and I really want this to stop.


    Thanks,

    Matthew

    :)

  2. firefox and IE will cause problems?

    could there be any reasonable explanation why firefox and ie would cause problems?

    oh, and when the machine crashes it is the blue screen of death and when windows recovers it suggests bios update. this is a machine that hasnt been upgraded driver wise or bios wise, yet they insist it is firefox. give me a break.

  3. Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

    Hi,



    Apologies for the late reply.



    Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



    It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



    I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



    Try the following steps:


    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command

    • Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter

    • Search for the programs and un-install it.


    Regards,
