Odd, I had no problems with the patches. Wait - I'm running Win7.

+5 for the humor!
On a serious note, it gives me a chance to explain why in the heck I would even install this thing called Windows 10 and submit to it's update nagging on my daily machine. The biggest reason is that if I'm getting these updates, at least some of my clients will be getting them as well. (not to mention family) If an update breaks my software, I'd like to know as soon as possible. In the case of family, I have some in-laws who will call and ask my opinion about such things as major updates, and especially installers that seem to hang...if I don't answer correctly, it might possibly mean more unpaid work for me down the road!

Mine: had a notice that it was unable to install some updates, click here to see more info...and nowhere in the 'more info' did it show any non-installed updates.

question for the lemmings:
is it possible to instead download the latest full w10 ISO and do an upgrade?
If you're talking about a couple of hours to do upgrades with multiple reboots surely one-time full upgrade would be much faster and ensure nothing missed or semi-rolled back 1 week earlier for some minor glitch.
Sin tack
the any key okay

envirginate: (v) the process of restoring a system to its 'virgin' state, in preparation for installing an application that is breaking things. See also flush-and-fill(*)
(yes, we actually use this term in polite conversation)
(*) we build commercial ink-jet systems; refers to replacing all the ink in a machine

In this case, it's the "flush-and-fill" process as applied to the system controller's hard drive: format the disk, load the factory default system image, install the proper version of the controller application.

Which still means your apparatus has been used before. "Resetting" might be a better description.

As I always suspected -- Inkjet printer software is an application that breaks things. Explains why my printer is always fritzing out.

An interesting etymology for "on the fritz:" [^] ... from which I think Marc extrapolated the adjectival present participle form.

That's because I verbed the word "fritz", as in, "on the fritz."

11 feet of paper per second.
The point being, it sounded like you were installing an application that breaks things.

...when Google now can't track my browsing habits and has no clue to what ads I always wanted to be shown. I just erased all cookies, in the hope of now being able to refresh CP without getting random settings which I never ever would use voluntarily.
Sometimes I get only 10 posts per page, and then it switches to 25. Or 50. Relaxed or tight layout, thread view or open all? All combinations are possible. And the best one: fixed or fluid layout (set at the bottom center of every page).
Is there no ViewState that remembers my settings? Why do I get seemingly random settings at about every other refresh?
This is probably some kind of discrimination against (un)dead members

I don't have those problems, but it might be that the CP folks are afraid of the ramifications if I did.
