Won't work.  The start menu is also gone.  The task bar icons are unresponsive, like they aren't even there.



Anyone else having this problem?  Is there a fix for this?  I push the restart button on the computer and the system reboots.  Then everything is OK.  



I know ARFcom computer gurus have the answer!

Just let Windows report your deepest, darkest secrets to the NSA and they'll unlock it for you.

Not right now as I reset the computer.  I'll try that the next time I experience the issue.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Is this an update from Win7 or from Win8.1?

I get automatic updates, but I am not locked.  I can restart the computer and it works fine.  It just started happening today.

Win 7

 




 
So far I've seen little to no problems with updating from 8.1 (but I've only seen 25 or 30 machines updated so far), but numerous problems with updates from 7.  Right now I don't have too many answers beyond refreshing Windows, or rolling back to 7, doing a thorough cleanup and then trying the update again.  Or of course, the clean install, which is always the best plan.




Honestly, you'd have been better off waiting until the IT world had a better grasp on the problems that would occur and had some solutions ready.

This. Upgraded a test VM, installed classic shell. Seems ok, now if they can just get the privacy bits fixed so Cortana will stop staring at my junk and sending dick pics back to the mothership.

Lol.

 
Win 8/8.1 was fine. Faster than Win 7 in operations and navigating. 8.1 is a bit better than 8.




Classic shell is for those who still want XP

A lot of people like the Win 7 start menu look. Doesn't hurt anything and choices/variety is good.
