Downwind66 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Stinger - Does Windows 10 have a "Restore back to an earlier time?" That will take you back before the update was downloaded! Ut-oh! Did you have Windows 10 prior to this update? This looks like an entire new release of Windows 10? What Windows version have you been running?

stinger2k2 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 Tried that but it wouldn't take me back far enough. Ta for the suggestion though. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Stinger - there should be a box saying show more restore points, did you see that and click it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 And Windows 10 won't allow you to remove that update? In my Windows 7, in the Installed updates section, I believe it will allow you to remove an update? Maybe Windows 10 is different? Just looked it is in the Installed updates, lower left corner of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Uninstall an Update from the Settings App The option to uninstall Windows Updates (not driver updates) is buried in the Settings app. Head to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Update history. Click the “Uninstall updates†link here. This link takes you to the “Uninstall an update†dialog, where you can uninstall an individual Windows Update if it’s causing problems on your system. This only lists all the updates that have been installed since the last major update, or “build“, of Windows 10. For example, Windows 10’s Creators Update, Anniversary Update, and November Update were all major updates.

If it’s been less than 10 days since you installed a build and you haven’t removed its files with Disk Cleanup, you’ll see a “Go back to an earlier build†option.

stinger2k2 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 SORTED ! I managed to get it work by copying fsx.exe to the desktop. Then i deleted the fsx.exe file (which was showing 0 bytes) in the main folder. Then i copied the desktop copy ( which was showing the correct amount of bytes) back into the main folder (it wouldn't start from the desktop). Double clicking it when it was back in the main fsx folder(now showing the correct amount of bytes) had me back in business. Once pinned back to my start bar all was back and working. Phew !

Good luck! - Rick :( Hey! Good for you! Glad you got it going! :cool:Sometimes it just takes a few pals to chip in with suggestions to fire up the grey matter. I saw that the fsx file was showing 0 bytes in the main fsx folder, that seemingly was the issue as once i copied back in a version showing the correct properties all was ok. Thanks for chipping in.

Downwind66 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 So, it may or may not have been a Windows 10 issue? Maybe just a coincidence? At least you got it going, that's what really matters! Have a nice evening! Phew is right! - Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hossfly68 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I posted my problems with the update the other night. Thought I had auto-update turned off but it snuck up on me. Crashed my whole computer!

ColR1948 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 This is terrible, I've had auto updates turned off but there have been times when for some unknown reason they get turned on again by some program and I was unaware, luckily I spotted it a turned them off again.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 If it was a problem with the Windows 10 or its updates, it would have happened to me, who has been running FSX under Windows 10 almost from when Windows 10 came out. It didn't - therefore, it is NOT a problem with the Windows 10 or its updates. This is simple logic that everyone should be able to grasp. Find something ELSE to whine about.
