    Hello,

    I need a confirmation if this is a good solution for virus that invaded my computer?
    I understand that if I will downgrade the OS version to previous version it will be removed the virus that was invading after the last OS update?
    This means all the installations apps and the modifications that I made since prev version will be removed.
    Please confirm if this solution can help.

    Hello Dragos, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    Going back to the previous version may not always remove a virus.

    Usually, you will need to scan your system with a AV program to clean it.

    However, I always prefer doing a clean install of Windows if infected, and scan several times with an AV program afterwards for the next few days to make sure it's clean.

    Hi,
    I decided to install the latest fast build (19603.1000), but like some other insider's have mentioned, I quickly discovered that my audio wasn't functioning properly (it was distorted) so I made the decision to go back to the previous build (19592.1001). As soon as I did so my sound returned to normal once again, but I discovered that after I performed the rollback function I discovered that the windows.old folder no longer was available in file explorer, I didn't realize that by going back to the previous build that the windows.old folder got deleted, is that normal ?
    Thanks,
    David

    Very normal, and necessary. You went to 19603, and it created the Windows.old of 19592 for you, just in case. Then you took the option of rolling back. It used the Windows.old to put you back to 19592, and deleted it. Why? Because there is nowhere else to go now, nowhere else to rollback/forward anywhere. I fact it's impossible to Roll Forward. Not within Windows, concept does not exist. That would have to be done with a system image backup. So, bottom line, it's gone and should be.

    Hi f14tomcat,
    What you said makes perfect sense, I've pretty much decided to go back to the slow build flight, they are a lot more stable than the fast build flight's. For me my situation has changed as far as my health (I won't go into so as to not bore you), besides..I don't have the time and energy to put into evaluating the fast builds like I used to.
    Thanks,
