I updated the day the patch was available.
Although Windows 10 Pro had the option that would have deleted the files set to "not configured" which as far as I know is safe. I set it to "disabled" just to be extra safe.
This reminds me of an ongoing gag in the movie Airplane![0]
"Looks like I picked the wrong week to [stop smoking, stop drinking, stop sniffing glue, update Windows 10]".

- nolok 8y agoTo be fair, no matter the OS updating on the latest and greatest immediately after release is always risky and should not be done unless you have clean backups and are ready to reinstall it all if needed. Linux testing, iOS, OSX, Windows 10, ... All of them. If you want stability and safe update, you either use safe release version (Debian stable, Win10 LTSB, ...); you wait the service pack, or you give it a month or two to have issues found.
- nickjj 8y agoYeah I'm fine with the decision I chose to make. Having a better built in snipping tool was worth it!
- Tsubasachan 8y agoUnfortunately that's no longer how Windows works. I'm in the One Plus beta. If something breaks its my own fault. I was warned. Windows pushes updates to EVERYONE and you can't opt out.
- anticensor 8y agoYou can, if you disable Windows Update from MMC service panel, it will not try to re-enable itself, but that's that. It is either all or none. No intermediate settings.
- pletnes 8y agoIs win10 LTSB available to anyone who wants on win10 home/pro?
- jaclaz 8y agoI don't think so, you need some corporate contract or the like. JFYI, accordingly to this, LTSB is now LTSC and you shouldn't choose it unless you have an embedded device: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/ukplatforms/2018/06/11/say-no-to-long-term-servicing-channel-ltsc/ https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/ukplatforms/2018/06/11/s... Of the twelve key points/reasons given in the above, more than six make me actually want to have a LTSC, however.
- anticensor 8y agoCan you tell us which hive&key it is?
- nickjj 8y agoYou can follow this guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/940017/user-profiles-may-be-deleted-after-you-restart-a-computer-that-is-runn https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/940017/user-profile... You access it through the group policy editor (covered in the above article). I guess this was a problem once with Vista 10 years ago. The same exact steps work with Windows 10.
- anticensor 8y agoWindows 10 should be considered an eternal beta according to your post.
