Rob13 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) If you go into services you can disable updates completely. Edited August 28, 2016 by Rob13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Make sure you back up any data while you still have it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retoocs01 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I hardly doubt, that this is caused by Windows Update, especially three times. Sounds like a hardware problem, probably faulty hdd/ssd or power supply. PS: what happened to the "show preview" in this forum software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 When you say you've "lost everything", what exactly do you mean? Updating Windows, even on the Insider Preview Fast Ring, does not delete Data directories. In fact the only thing I can think of is if you don't check beforehand, upgrading from 7 to 10 removes programs that are incompatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Christmas13 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 But that is not the problem i have every time I update ( automatic update ) I lose every file every pic all my e-mails all my desktop Icons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the computer update at inconvenient times though so I disabled the updates. I can install the ones I want when I'm know I'm not going to need to use the comp. There are some good Youtube vids on tweaking Windows 10. Edited August 29, 2016 by Rob13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a spelling/grammar nazi, but I'm pretty sure "chanced" is a typo, and honestly, I can't figure out what you really meant to say. Changed? If so, changed *how*?

uksomchai Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 You haven't actually LOST anything it has just been moved to " Windows old " Everything you had saved on your computer before the update is still there. My friend thought the exact same thing I just had to spend a few minutes looking to find it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 WC, you can also just store all your data on an external HDD and work with them from there. They won't be effected by the updates that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) It could *possibly* be this, if it was the Anniversary Update that installed. In which case follow the advice and Revert to the previous release. Partitions may be missing after installing the Anniversary Update Sharath Srinivasa started on August 12, 2016 Microsoft Forum Moderator Hi, Microsoft has received a small number of reports of partitions not appearing in File Explorer after installing the Anniversary Update. When viewing the partition in Disk Management, it appears as RAW, unallocated space. Microsoft is aware of this issue and is working on a solution to be released through Windows Update. Any data you have stored on the affected partition is still there. We recommend that you not try to recover or otherwise write data to the affected partition, nor should you format the partition. We will update this thread when a patch is released. If you would like to be notified when this thread is updated, click the Subscribe button at the end of this post. For up to days 10 days after installing the Anniversary Update, Windows includes the ability to “go back” or return to the previous build if you are experiencing this issue and do not want to wait for the patch to be released. To uninstall the Anniversary Update: Open the Settings app. Select Update & security and then the Recovery tab. Under “Go back to an earlier build”, click the Get started button and follow the instructions. (Note: If more than 10 days have elapsed since installing the Anniversary Update or the “Go back” option is otherwise not available; we ask for your patience until a patch can be released. Please check back on this thread for an update.)

Chicog Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Just a quickie if anyone is on the Insider Preview: MS have shot themselves in the foot with Build 14915. They say it disables Wifi on Surface 1 and Surface 2, but the forums are filling up with all sorts of network adapters going tits up. So if you're on Build 14905, I'd stick with it until until the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
