  1. What version do I revert to?


    I would like to go back to a less secure but working version of Windows 10. Recent updates have fucked up all three of my computers. Before anyone tells me these are necessary, I don't want to hear it unless the update won't fork me over like the last few. And I know for a fact its the updates because these problems popped up right after the updates. My systems have slowed down. HDs and SDs have slowed down significantly. I received pink flickers on a laptop. I've patched things up with ccleaner and that managed to give me back a bit of speed, but its nowhere near comfortable. I can't use windows back up because microsoft fucked it up.

    So, fellow users, what was the last update that didn't cause you any problems? Should I just switch to Linux?

    I'm ready to act following suggestions (if any) before...going through the restore (please don't misunderstand, I'm not looking forward doing it).

    I appreciate in any case your help

    Revert back to previous versions

    I installed Windows 10 1 week ago and need to revert to windows 8.1. I have tried both of your suggestion to revert and a) do not have a 'revert to windows 8.1' listing on my settings-restore page and b) when I restart the PC holding the shift key and
    select 'revert to previous build' I get a WDF Violation error and the system restarts Windows 10. There is a windows.old folder. I'm stuck, what can I do to restore Windows 8.1?

    What version do I revert to?

    Windows keeps reverting back to previous version.

    Hi Josh,

    The issue with Windows 10 update reverting back to previous version could be due to corruption in Windows Update component files.

    We would like to ask some information to better assist you with your concern:

    • Which previous build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
    • Did you get any error messages or error codes?

    We suggest that you try to run
    Windows update troubleshooter
    and check if it works.

    Keep us posted.
