Windows 10: Windows update keeps breaking my computer

Hello, i recently built a new computer, which is good, right? Apparently no, this is the second time something has happened involving windows 11 and its updater. Basically what has happened this time is that i installed KB5029263, KB2267602 1.395.654.0 and the may 24th Windows Configuration Update. I have no idea what happened but i am extremely frustrated. When i boot up and log in, my desktop icons are missing, and when i hover over the taskbar my cursor changes to the "wait animation" cursor. When i click on the taskbar, my screen goes black and everything refreshes on the screen the ref

Windows 10 Pro and Ergnomic Break Reminder

Hi,



Apologies for the late reply.



Do you remember installing any break reminder software?



It looks like it is a pop up from a break reminder software.



I suggest you to look for this in Programs in features and uninstall it if do not use it.



Try the following steps:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys to open Run Command
  
• 
  Type Appwiz.cpl and hit enter
  
• 
  Search for the programs and un-install it.
  

Regards,

 

Windows Update KB5016616 keeps breaking Dell computers

My temporary solution to the problem is turn off Windows Update. See instructions below (taken from another MS Windows Forum):

To disable the Windows Update service in Services Manager, please follow the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R. Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
   
2. Search for Windows Update.
   
3. Right-click on Windows Update, then select Properties.
   
4. Under General tab, set the Startup type to Disabled.
   
5. Click Stop.
   
6. Click Apply, and then click OK.
   
7. Restart your computer.
   

 

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi,

I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

- go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!
