If you don;t have any files missing in "my Documents" you are probably okay.

I tried to remove an update. Good luck. When I updated. Nothing worked with my he update. I had to update everything. Skype, quicken the whole nine yards of programs. They needed to recognize the new windows system. Then I dumped the new windows update. that was easy. Problem is all my updated programs would not work with an older windows system. I could not down grade any of my programs. I forced me to go back to the newer version of windows.

Yeah, love that. You get a message down in the lower right hand corner of the screen tellin' you that there's gonna be an update that will make Windows much better for you. Then after it's installed, nothing works anymore, and you can't find anything that you knew exactly where it was at.

I'm ok, so far. Went into settings/updates and the last update was 9/ something or other.

Thank you, HONDO, for posting that perspective and additional information.

It may be too late for me. This thing does automatic updates, and I may be too cyber challenged to dig in an see it it's already installed.

Anyone may look at their update history if they wish. Just use the Windows logo to open the search bar (or the search bar may be open full time like mine) and enter, [update]. Then select "update history". I still have the March 2018 update that was delayed until May 2018 because it was deleting files when initially released in April.

6/26/12 was my last update. Windows 8.0.

WARNING:Don't install Windows 10, October Update.Version 1809. It's been taking people's photos and files.
This announcement warning was on NBC News tonight (our Channel 4) and originated with Microsoft saying "it had paused distribution of Windows 10 Update version."

And, I feel ever so much better yet again for stopping at Win 7.

Has that ever been true?

Normal.
Somewhere.

Plus, I luv the irony of those two posters with your current slogan.

They all disappeared from around here, too, along with their booths and as open-air installations.

I wonder if the bank of 4-6 of them, around for decades at the NY Public Library side of the street, at the intersection of 5th Avenue and 42nd Street, are still there.
