      I really do not understand, why this has to be so complicated. So many people wasting their time and so many people lost their data. There is also lot of people that lost their faith, and I dont blame them.
      So this flowchart is not valid anymore, or what? If I defer updates, this process tree starts anyway (regardless my defer updates setting) if microsoft wants?

      I apologize. I didnt mean that as personal attack, you know very much about it, so I thought that somebody from inside is giving us information. I recently told several times on this forums, that microsoft’s aproach should be treaten like “acting against law”. He is using his monopol position to force people to do, what they want you to do.
      But as i know, If you live in US, you are alone in this fight, because by accepting Windows EULA, you give up your rights. See the first sentence of EULA:

      IF YOU LIVE IN (OR IF YOUR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS IN) THE UNITED STATES, PLEASE READ THE BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 10. IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED.

      I think this means, we are all alone in our fights..

      I apologize once again for personal attackt.

      Actually Ultimate really offered more. Have a look what b wrote. Media center for mobile phones, bit locker, .. pretty cool stuff I have to say. But ordinary user does not have a clue, what is going on.
      Today, we pay more for not to have bloatware and crapware ๐Ÿ™‚

      I agree with the last paragraph. Imagine W10 with non-SSD disk, that is very poor combination.
      There has always been some speciality with concrete HW, like Dell Rapid Storage. MSFT saw this as opportunity to charge you more ๐Ÿ™‚ I dont believe in W10 Ultra.

      But not just Microsoft W, every SW does “check for updates” – Chrome, Adobe, Skype, all of them. All this is slowing our computers. Consoles like Playstation and XBoxes have usually worse HW, but their performance is tremendous. PC with windows can do more, but… sometimes, less is more. We say that in czech, do you know that? ๐Ÿ™‚

      On the other hand, continuos development seems to be the goal for modern society. We all have to create more money for that elite 5%.

      What I want is Operating system, that doesnt do tons of computing behind my back and doesnt lie to me and doesnt trick me into buying something.

    • My opinion is, that microsoft messed up its own products so badly, that only 3rd party solution can save their ….. lets just say “sitting area”. All the time opensource was my cup of tea, Microsoft told it was cancer. Now MS has stolen Torvalds’s idea, like they did with the idea of windows OS in the very beginning. There is no justice in the world what so ever.
      So the conclusion is > Microsoft, please dont ruin this for everybody.

      By the way, I remember in book called Clone ’97 from Ondrej Neff in year 1997! there was already mentioned thing called Network Computer (not Personal Computer), which should be just terminal for user, everything on cloud, you just operate your termial. Pretty nasty thought in year 1997, isnt it ๐Ÿ™‚

      Look for Media Creation Tool, you can google it. It is available on MS web (for example czech version https://www.microsoft.com/cs-cz/software-download/windows10), or some filesharing servers like HeiDoc.net, as Ally wrote. You can download all versions from the list, I install updates with these ISO files. You can skip any number of versions and user data will still remain (foe example update from 1609 to 1809 in one step, which is useful). Also, windows remain licensed. Good luck!

    • Thank you for your post. This upgrading havoc is terrible. Not only Windows, but all software went crazy recently.. I choose not to upgrade even in bussiness. Our firewall should do the work we payed for. Everything “checks for updates” and changes constantly. Which also mean slowing your network connection, but arent these upgrades great target for hackers in the end? Cant they “send you malicious upgrade”, nobody tested this possibility?
      Why we cant have ONE FULLY FUNCTIONAL PRODUCT? That we payed for, by the way.. I dont wanna constantly solve problems caused by upgrades. Other thing I dont understand, how is it possible, that there are so many security problems? Seems to me, that Widows are some sort of Emmentaller cheese.
      And one question.. What is the ratio of problems caused by hackers and by microsoft updates globally?
      I think its like”
      95% microsoft : 5% hackers

      Something positive? We have open source calculator on github, hooray!!! Microsoft, you absolutely rock!

    • Hello, for example – since Dell is using NVMe harddrives recently, my acronis true image is not possible to use anymore. I will dig deeper into this issue, but it seems to me, that Acronis and PCIe port are not friends. Understand, that backup of Optiplex 9050 was OK, but backup of 9060 is not possible now. Acronis ends up with error “No harddrives found, nothing to backup”. Also, when I tried to modify setup (BIOS/ UEFI, GPT/ MBR), I nearly always broke the installation and only bluescreen with error was loaded – reinstall WIN from scratch :/
      So the very common reason for backup failure is mz HW.

      It is not exactly what are you asking about, but I find these “misplaced” dots in formated lists. There is dot situated over the text. I tried multiple browsers (Chrome, IE, Vivaldi) to ensure, that is not diplayed incorrectly due to my browser settings. See attached image for more details.

      Maybe some tool similar to DriverBooster (basically, its for free). I would try to update graphic card drivers.This looks like HW-related problem for me.
      I tried to do some research, some reccomend new drivers, some recommend to try to create new user account (which should be unwanted, if you want to preserve user data, but this should be usefull diagnostics – if its user related).
      Here is some 6-year old solutoin, maybe you should try this
