Windows 10: Worried about auto updates messing up a $1.000.00 Laptop

hello

about 4 years ago I had a Microsoft Windows 8 machine that did it auto update and when it did I had gotten caught in a boot loop and it would just reboot and reboot and then eventually I got the blue screen of death,


I could not get a resolution & tried everything from reverting to a previous date to reinstalling and removing the update nothing worked.


my Windows machine was beyond repair, so I bought a Chromebook and I've been using Google Chrome ever since.


however, I've had a couple of issues with Google and there's nobody to talk to so they have no phone support


I'm wondering if it's easier now with Microsoft and not only get phone support, but what are your feelings on the auto updating?

One time when I had an update years ago I was at work lifted my lid turned on my computer had my presentation in there and I had to wait 45 minutes for the update to complete before I can do my presentations I hate getting an update on Windows home 10 when I didn't ask for it.


I realize security updates are important


sometimes when I would get auto update, it would take an hour or more and I would wonder if I got stuck in update process because you don't know how long the process is going I don't know if that's now changed either.


I do know that a couple of updates that I did I had to press the power button and restart because it just got stuck and I had no idea it wasn't even updating


any advice would be appreciated


here is the link to some really serious windows updates I sure hope these are resolved.

User.000 issue after updating to 1909

I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:

• Rebooted at least 6 times
• Enabled hidden Administrator
• Booted into Safe Mode
• Changed ProfileImagePath
• Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
• Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
• Rebooted and had temporary profile
• Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
• Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
• Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
• After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
• Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
