    Cliff, thanks for the help. That did the trick. I entered one of the default apps and it reset all the other apps. . Guess it needed a little push.

    Not one single change occurred here as described in this thread. v10.0.10586.11. If you tweaked your reg then MS probably untweaked it. IMO. My defaults are still the same as previous build numbers.

    It ignored most of my privacy choices when installing i turned everything but smart screen off during the customised install, only to find everything i had turned off set to 'on' when i checked them !

    Advertising has been introduced in the start menu...
    is there anything about this update that might be useful?

    'Location' was on before the upgrade. After, it was off.

    Apparently it's required to be on for 'Find My Device' to work (according to an MS answer tech).
    But Settings allowed 'Find My Device' to be enabled with Location off.... oops?

    (Still waiting for my laptop to be 'found' according to
    https://account.microsoft.com/devices
    where it's shown as 'Off').

    I just the update today, and most of my (clean) 10 install was returned to default, including all of the privacy settings, Windows font sizes, and all the apps I uninstalled. I also found that while my more recent Word documents (2010 and 2013, saved as .docx) were left alone, my older Word files (97-2003, as .doc) were re-associated with a program I'd never heard of, which prompted for a plug-in I had even less knowledge of, if that's possible. It also deleted my printers. It looks like the only thing left alone was Chrome as my default browser.

    I'd love to know why the update is making so many different changes to so many different computers, but I'm sure we'll never know.
