Did you happen to not tell Windows that it shouldn't update drivers? Then tell Windows it's not allowed (details depend on what version of Windows 10 you have), then do a driver rollback of the drivers changed during this update.

What big problems do you see?

They already fix it, man.
Try to reinstall and you won't see those issues anymore.

If You Have This Problem, It Means You Jumped The Gun...

If you are like the others that are experiencing this issue, the link below shows the KB4482887 update that caused the problem. Read the "Known Issues" section.:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4482887/windows-10-update-kb4482887

... and the most common way to get that update is to click on the "Check for Updates" button before the normal Patch Tuesday release. That is NOT a recommended procedure since Microsoft started releasing "not ready for prime-time" updates prior to being fullyf tested. If you do so, you become the guinea pig. The normal Patch Tuesday release for KB4489899 should have fixed the problem.

Hope this helps.

I like windows 7 and never want to udgrade to the latest version.
I still can't understand that big difference between the latest versions.
It's too hard for me.
And you are not the only one who complains about win10 issues.
My friends constantly facing them.

Extended Support Will Last Till Spring of 2020, UNLESS....

Microsoft has already established January of 2020 as their end of life for Windows 7. The link below describes such:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/end-of-windows-7-support

That is, unless you want to pay extra for support out to 2023. See the "Windows 7 Extended Security Updates" discussion at the middle of the page in the link below:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2018/09/06/helping-customers-shift-to-a-modern-desktop/

Hope this helps.

not 7!

Don`t immediately install windows 7 because of such problems. Just update 10 and more such problems should not arise. In any incomprehensible situation just update Happy
