Thread: Windows 10 Update 23 Jan 2017

This morning I chose to do a major update. Things did not go well.
The whole format has changed.
Most importantly the SLEEP & SHUTDOWN MODES HAVE DISAPPEARED.
The help modules are useless.

Rule #1: Never run Windows Update in any mode

now, you know why

They may reappear after a reboot.

or they may not

I have a lot of funny things happening too on my Windows 10

developed by Indians and obviously Indians running around on that Hard Drive

Therefore, there is nothing I can do at this point?

Have you done a reboot?
If no, why not?
If yes, why don't you say so.

Fukkwit

That option has disappeared as has shutdown & sleep.
All I can do is manually shutdown by turning the system off.

Well, do a shutdown then and a manual restart after.
It is the same as a reboot except that a reboot restarts the computer automagically.

Have you lost the start menu is what you are trying say?

If so, try the Start Menu Troubleshooter.

Reload windows 7, problem solved.

yes downgrade is the only solution,

I would recommend a full downgrade to WinXP for better security and usability,

To restart or shutdown you could hit Ctrl, Alt, Delete, the screen that appears will have a shutdown button in the lower right corner.

Fixed, thank you.

Thats of course if you think windows 10 is an upgrade.

Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements

Click link, download, install. Use.

You're welcome

Two days I had that win 10 update.

Friggin' thing took forever, it automatically restarted the computer 2 times.

... and it removed my cCleaner ... do Microsoft the legal right to do that?

Oh, see its already been fixed then. I'll get me coat...

I'll continue with Windows 8.1 until the next device.

At the bottom you will find the camera symbol; there is a small circular symbol.
That is where you will find the options of SLEEP, SHUTDOWN etc

Ah so what you mean is you didn't know what the Start Menu was....

Which seems to be the growing trend as most learn what win10 is about and dumping it.
Obviously, the geniuses at Microsoft aren't up to speed yet or they don't give a fuck [which might be the case].

Uninstall 10 and reinstall 7.


...it's a cancer. Of the last 3-4 years, most every device has auto-installed win10 works.

^ I can't reinstall win 7 and this device came loaded with win 8 Pro.

But I liked the feel and useability of Win 7.

Win 10 seems to be about what Microsoft wants ... that SUCKS
