If so, leave a comment below and let us know how this latest update works on your system. It was a nightmare from the day Microsoft pushed it on to my machine. I now control Window’s update and decide what to install and what not to install, although this process of blocking can get a bit tricky – but so far no forced re-install of the Creator’s edition on my machine that experienced so much difficulty with it. Other machines updated have had no issues, but these are all product named pc’s, whereas pc that was having difficulty was custom built – and there-in lies the problem! Comment Name * Email *
