Win 10 was taking 1.5-2 min. before some recent updates, back to as much as a couple months ago . . . .but now my system is up in about 45 sec.
-on an ancient 6 yr old system . . . see specs.
From Sleep, since recent updates, Windows will not boot . . . Question . . . .should I create a newer Macrium Reflect recovery disk? Current disk is saving my A**!
OK, finally achieved Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3176938) . . .
-System still did not boot-up after the update was applied; had to use my Macrium Reflect...
OK, have just read in another thread that 'Fast-Startup' may have a bug that may cause a problem with updates, so I have disabled that function and will report back if that seems to fix my boot...
-Don't know what number update this was that I automatically received yesterday, but it left my current configuration unbootable, so that even my Macrium Reflect "Fix Boot Errors" could not fix it ....
OK, I thought it was just me, but since the AU when I put my machine in 'Sleep', and then later try to revive it, it doesn't come out of sleep and I have to do a hard shut-off, from which it doesn't...
Use "Everything" -https://www.voidtools.com/
-It's free and searches . . . Everything!
-Nope, it is broke.
-Guess I won't be needing access to my MS Account . . . till some future update repairs this(also).
ok, thanks . . . a few critical errors still need work
- Was this update supposed to be 'end product' . . . . or 'Beta' for final product?
Yes, I really do not know.
Anyone?
Yeah, in my Settings/Accounts/Your Info./Manage my Microsoft account . . . clicking crashes Chrome and, of course, there is then no way to access my online MS Acct. settings . . . anybody else?
-Just confirming . . . Bluetooth no longer available on my old machine.
Thanks for the 'Heads-Up' . . . certainly don't get info. from MS. :sarc:
. . . same as above for me, generic human-shape and generic background . . .

The updating process itself hung . . . that is, it went on for 12 hours, before I intervened by re-booting, then it did finally finish.
A few non-essential programs failed to work after the update,...
-There is a fix for the Store somewhere here in the forums, as mine was hopelessly broken for months and now is back and working fine . . . but I can't remember what thread I was in where I found the...
AMD Radeon™ Software Crimson Edition 16.5.3 installed and working.
-have given up attempting to install the AMD Radeon Crimson 16.5.2.1 hotfix . . . tried everything, won't install.
Update:
-On a whim, re-tried installing this version a few days from first...
AMD Radeon Crimson 16.5.2 hotfix dnld'd, installed . . . working with no errors.
Whoa! -That was strange! Just lost everything on my Start page, so on a whim, I signed out and then signed back in, and Start page is back and all correct tiles . . . what the?
Do you mean that if you type a colon ":" and a dash "-" and a close-parenthesis ")" . . . you don't get a :) in Facebook? :huh:
Facebook, at least, is fairly standard for its symbol creation...

I have had little problem getting some old stuff to run in Win10, including RRT2, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Vietcong, Links 2003 . . .
-mostly using compatibility settings. Win10 runs emulator games...
-I feel your frustration. With Win7 having been so effortlessly bulletproof for me(not one OS crash in years of use), it is a bit befuddling that the follow-up Win9/10 could have so many problems . ....
