Windows 10 updates

My install of Windows 10 updated itself yesterday and ever since I've not been able to get anything on the C:\ drive to write. Especially the NowPlaying text I've had to stick the now playing text in the RadioDJ folder just so the encoder could read the .txt file

Anyone else noticing any weird issues with Windows 10? And yes I have tried resetting user permissions with little effect.

They really suck lately, with every update they are causing new problems. At least on my systems i didn't noticed anything strange (yet), but users all over the world are reporting serious stuff getting broken on updates.

Here are some well known bugs introduced by updates and how to fix them: https://www.maketecheasier.com/latest-windows-10-update-problems/

That would explain a lot Iains PC has been BSOD on me when I try to insert a USB device. I'm guessing that's a windoze update that's caused that.

Its annoying when they can't patch things properly have they learned nothing from Windows XP/Vista?

Especially that (IHMO) windows 10 started as a very good OS and now look where they brought it.

I'm glad I only use Windows 10 in a Virtual environment if it was my main desktop and it was acting like this I'd be PISSED!

There were 3 updates on 28/02 One of them was a .NET update i wonder if that's also causing issues?

Tried disabling windows update now Windows 10 Explorer has just done one can't even restart the VM. What on earth arrgghh!

Ended up with a BSOD so i found the update that was causing that and Uninstalled it along with the updates from 2 days ago.

Disabled all Windows update tools for the time being i shall see how I get on.

For me still the reason why i am running W7 on the on air machine.

I myself ncountered a problem with W10 on the laptop and it took me 6 hours! to fix it. Just putting an image back didn't work. So my advice is when the machine runs, just make an image of the complete disk in case something goes wrong. ( That was my problem, putting the image for the whole disk back while i only needed the windows part. )
