I'll have to take a look at the link you posted. I think it's criminal that suddenly system restore points are disabled and Microsoft pushes out a turd update. I'm just a user, but God, if you're like an MSVP or whatever white night they call you, do you not feel dirty or a little embarrased?
I just updated to 2004, nothing else changed and by magic I have BSODs out the wazoo? Having been through this before, I know it's the damn update.
John, I wish I could go to linux, I do.

My son has a Ryzen 9 running at 3.5GHz[^] but yesterday he said he noticed it was running at somewhere around 1GHz.
I said, "You're running Win10, right? (I run Ubuntu) It was probably some update or something."
He checked his BIOS, etc and then noticed that Win10 had removed a driver for his chipset and replaced it with an older one.
He installed the new chipset drivers again and it was running at 3.5GHz again. Win10

Yeah, I've seen resets like that; I understand that it's frustrating for some people, but for a lot of the "regular" people out there, it's a safety-net: no strange old settings being dragged over to an updated core which may not need them -- or may even break with them. Does make one wish for a power-toggle like "keep my tweaks -- I accept responsibility if they cause issues".

The operative word there is 'laptop'.
Windows assumes you want low power on a laptop; and they do default back to enhanced power saving after some updates. It's not unreasonable though, the point of a laptop is to provide mobile computing, not act as a static server.
IMO applying updates is sensible, using a laptop to run 24/7 systems is where you have gone wrong; use 'tin', ideally with a server OS.

MS making a decision based on the presence or absence of a battery (or whatever factor Win10 uses to decide what is a “laptop”) is wrong. Choosing to use a laptop like a desktop or even server should be left to the admin/user, not to Win10 updates, and user config choices should not be changed.
If MS introduces some new setting and needs to choose an initial value, and bases that choice on what it thinks the machine’s role is, that’s not ideal, but understandable.

It is absolutely unreasonable. If I explicitly change a setting, there is no way that an "update" should change that setting back. At the very, very least if MS are going to do this sort of thing during an update, they have a responsibility to clearly identify to the user exactly what setting have been modified. OK, it may be gobbledygook so some users, but to those who've gone to the trouble of using the functionality MS have provided to "tweak" their system's settings, it could save a huge amount of time and stress. If MS don't like users making certain configuration changes, they should never have provided that option in the first place.

I've had updates reset file type associations, which a bit annoying. A more recent update resulted in reserved port numbers and my web api suddenly not working until I changed its port number.

You're not, MS will overwrite your setting during updates, usually major updates, because of changes they make on the back end. Similar to how Google will automatically log you in to chrome and track you if you log in to youtube or any other google affiliated / owned website.
You just have to trust they are doing what's best for you. /s

 technically I disagree. A full on rant would have me yelling at my computer as I type the message. I declared it a semi-rant as I was actually asking for any other users seeing this. But okay...

A rollback happened for me just this morning - the update killed my workstation.

This is a problem I manage routinely, since I do all of the installers for our products. We use a USB dongle to control feature access. Beginning with Windows 7 we had problems with it powering-off the dongle, since we only accessed it every five minutes. The problem was rather ridiculous in any case, since the product runs in an industrial PC with permanently connected power. The solution was to have our installer turn off power management for the device.

Appreciate the feedback, and I'm happy I'm not going senile. I guess I can understand an update adjusting power settings, but turning off system restores? That's just crazy.
As for the power settings, I just noticed that I can create my own customized plan. I'll see if the next update will leave that alone.

Where's the "Oi! Super!"?
I'm just practising my Oi-ing! Do users get notifications if you do this? Am I tagging you correctly? I'm new to shouting at people

Yes

If you want to be sure, you can click on his nickname on a message forum, you see the correct needed tag-summoning under the visible nickname (don't have to be equal, i.e. underscores are allowed in the nick, but not in the summon tag)

BTW I just realized... mouse hovering over a nick here in the forum shows you the info too.
