What configs are you talking about? Because most things in the official UIs are carefully crafted to be permanent user preferences that windows updates don't touch.
- josephcsible 4y agoIf this is a good-faith question, then I assume you don't use Windows as your primary OS. After most major Windows updates, you'll see new crapware in the Start menu and get nagged to set up a Microsoft account and have your default programs switched back to the Microsoft ones, no matter how many times you said "no, and never ask again" before.
- drpixie 4y agoYup. I even find network (!!) settings disappearing or changing. (shakes head sadly)
- aksss 4y agoCan’t say I’ve had this experience. I run one computer on insider builds and another on stock, neither seem to cause lost settings reset defaults, etc. New progs I guess rarely/infrequently.
- MikusR 4y agoWindows is the only desktop OS i use and that does not happen.

- zamalek 4y agoYou'll find apps and things that wiggle their way back onto the start menu, at least that's what happened minutes prior to me downloading a Fedora ISO last year.
- teo_zero 4y agoJust one example: I can't have Acrobat as the default PDF reader for longer than an update cycle. It gets reset to Edge.
- deafpolygon 4y agoMultiple updates later for me, STILL Adobe.
- izacus 4y agoSeeing Windows Admins having to write boot-up scripts that keep re-fixing this crap is the saddest thing ever.
- qu4z-2 4y agoWhatever arcane configuration is required to disable dynamic contrast seems to get regularly reset with Windows updates (although this may be a graphics card driver vendor issue -- nevertheless). No, Windows, I don't want you to turn the backlight down when I'm looking at a dark image.
