MS W10 update botched yet again

Garbage Quality Control

September 3, 2019 2:03:33 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Yet again insiders warned of processor spike and shortened battery life only to be ignored.

This time your bluetooth connection can be broken, as well all due to a botched update to Cortana.

Oh....I'm safe....my 2 machines on 10 are stuck on an old update fuck-up from months ago.

When I feel like wasting my life I Google solutions...and play Cluster-fuck Solver Hero Guy ....to no avail....

Yes, sometimes that's a good solution.  Windows 10 feature updates are largely smoke and mirrors in my experience.  I was an "early adopter" at first, but now I wait until Windows Update starts nagging before I bother.

If you've disabled Cortana (and I don't see in running in TaskMangler) & have no BT devices, are you good?

New windows step by step update procedure.

Step 1 Set your work hours,if windows needs to restart

during work hours windows will ask you.

Step 2 Never open and observe windows update, this will

cause the wave function to collapse.

Step 3 If windows asks you to restart,click restart and

take a 2 hour lunch,then return for the amazing voodoo.

Step 4 If windows informs you that an update failed don't worry

Microsoft is on it and will inform you if you need to restart windows.

Step 4 If windows informs you that an update failed don't worry

And just how many months does one have to wait before MS has fixed the 'fail'?

Step 5 If you can't update or your computer is bricked you could
buy a new $3000 dollar computer, this might put you on the front burner
for service from Microsoft.
Step 6 If your computer is still functioning you could turn off updates.
I skipped step 5 and went to step 6 in June of 2016 and have been happy ever since.

On the $10,000 dollar main machine I avoided Win10 totally....so I really don't care what MS does to everyone else....call me ego-centric...

It's the other machines I've allowed MS to screw up....
