WIN10 - "Fall Creator's Update"

[SKkin]

Did anyone else install this update and have problems with settings? My settings are now inoperable. From the Start button to the Notification area...or anywhere else, they will not open. They were fine before the update.

I searched for answers and most everything related to fixing this says "go to settings" which is now a non-starter for me.

This is the error message I get when I try to open settings:

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."

I have no clue on WTF to do to "create an association."


"Fall Creator's Update" =

downgrade to Win7, or even better, WinXP

[pseudolus]

Microsoft using end users as their Beta Testers again. Simple rule with Microshite - turn updates off and wait. Then after a few weeks update by which time all the crap will have been reported and patched.

[SKkin]

turn updates off and wait

Yeah I know...I never learn.

On the bright side I'm pretty sure this problem has effectively turned off updates.

[SKkin]

downgrade to Win7

I shouldn't have "upgraded" in the first place.

[bsnub]

^ Rule number one anything butters tell you...do the opposite.

Be a bit more specific: Do you mean your Start Button doesn't work?

They have an insider preview program so it's been tested for months.

It's currently previewing build 17046 for most testers.

Yes, and don't forget to tell all your mates you're a fucking idiot.

can't turn off Updates with Win10, a wet dream for Microsoft Indians like Harry

indeed, and why you should listen to me in the first place when I say "Upgrades" are for clueless poseurs like Harry

Upgrade == Mouse Trap for IT Retards and Indians

I know 5/8ths of feck all about this stuff but the last update I did apparently removed a program that was no longer useful.

I know this because now it tells me when I start my laptop. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.

Buttplug prefers to have his shitty old computer sending out spam and viruses because he's too fucking stupid to understand otherwise.

[AntRobertson]

What program.

'Maxx Audio Installer'

Ironically I'd forgotten the name so just restarted me laptop to check.

[SKkin]

Do you mean your Start Button doesn't work?

No, I meant "Settings" wouldn't open(from the Start Button or from the Notifications area). But never mind now...I went to bed last night and they weren't working. This morning I get on the PC and magically settings are now once again opening up fine. Must have been Santa's elves...

WTF?

I don't get you.

So your Start Button/menu was fine, but the Action Center wouldn't open?

'Maxx Audio Installer'

Have you checked that it isn't lurking in Programs and Features?

Failing that, maybe do a clean with Revo Uninstaller.

Normally if a program is incompatible it will remove it. I've never seen that behaviour before.

[AntRobertson]

Yeah it's definitely gone but that's the problem, I get the notification that it has been deleted for being incompatible every time I start-up.

[SKkin]

I don't get you.

No...these:



wouldn't open. Now they do, as you can see from above screenshot.

[HuangLao]

I shouldn't have "upgraded" in the first place.

Yeah.
Or you shouldn't be using Win10 in any capacity.
The learning curve is slow to develop as to how generally sucky functional Windows 10 really is.

Dump 10 and install/reinstall Win7.

Or an alternative, rid yourself of everything Microsoft - there are a handful of suitable operating systems available than the devilish Microsoft.

Fuck Bill Gates and company.

I frigging love it. I had no problems "learning it".

All's well that ends as you like it.

Fuck, I didn't know you spoke Jeff!

[harrybarracuda]

Yeah but Jeff has a very.slow.learning.curve.

[SKkin]

All's well that ends as you like it.

So who or what fixed it overnite? I sure as hell have no clue.

My Settings haven't been working for a little over two weeks since that update. Now all of a sudden, overnite (last night) they work again, with no input on my part. Fucking magic...
