BIG PROBLEMS with Windoes 10. Following an Update I cannot run anything, or do anything.
Upgraded to Windows 10 in August, I was happy initially. After a while I just got a blank screen with cursor, could not do a thing apart from hard reset with power button. On boot-up it applied an update and I was back in business. Then a few weeks later it happened again, ... then again. However I still had a usable PC.
Then one day recently it stopped responding to lots of things - start buttom bottom left - click - nothing. Task bar item, click, circle for 3 secs then nothing, Desktop item, click, circle for 3 secs then nothing. i.e. I could simply not run anything. Start button respondeds to right click with menu, but nothing works from that either.
Thinking it was me who had screwed up my PC somehow I rolled back to Windows 7 from a backup image I took just before intial update. Back in busines with Win 7, but of course it wanted to apply the Win 10 update. Updated to 10 a second time and set it all up. Everything fine once again.
...... until .... an update arrived. Same thing, blank screen with cursor, hard reset, update applied, then back to a bricked PC. Nothing runs. I can move icons around my desktop but clicking anything just gives the little circle
Unless someone can advise a fix, it is back to Win 7 again for me. But how do I tell the system I DO NOT want Windows 10 applied when it has downloaded it and is ready to go? - i.e. that is the state of my back-up image.
