[Resolved] Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Issue, Just Me Or Everyone?

[Euphoria]

Hey everyone,

 

I recently did the Windows 10 fall creators update, but I had an issue during the install process. About 25% into the install where it states; Don't switch off your PC... my village had a power outage, and I'm currently redecorating so my PC is on a coffee table in the lounge temporarily, so I didn't have my UPS plugged in. After the power came back on and I had finished swearing and shouting at my electricity supplier, I switched the PC on and crossed my fingers. To my surprise, it boot looped twice I think, but then resumed the update install from 25% where it left off. I thought I had gotten away with it, but now after a week or more, I'm not sure.

 

The issue: I'm experiencing longer boot, restart and shutdown times since this update, but because of the issue I had I'm not sure if it's just me, or if others are experiencing this too. I know we're only talking about a few seconds, first world problems, but I've gone from roughly 7-8 second boot times to around 15+ seconds, and it's the same for shutdown and restart, it used to be almost instant, 1-3 seconds maybe, but now it's 7-8 seconds or longer. I've spent a few hours going through everything to make sure my OS is configured how it was before the update; no new startup apps or services, hibernation disabled... things like that, but everything seems the same.

 

So, my question is: has anyone else experienced this since the update, or do I likely have a slightly corrupted OS???
Thanks

MS doesn't say "don't turn off your PC" for the hell of it.

Sounds like something got corrupted.

Of course, you don't state the specs to your PC, so it might not meet the system requirements....

Same thing happened to me lol. Worst part is, I was playing PUBG in the top 10 when windows decided it was a good time to restart.

Sorry, didn't think of that. It's definitely not that though, it's a few years old but still a high-end system that more than meets the requirements.

That dumb update added some garbage I had to uninstall. This is why people never updated 7.

That sucks. I have my OS setup with a registry edit so it won't update unless I manually click update and the same with restarting after an update. So I planned to do the update, it was just my electricity company picked the worst time to do some maintenance.

Oh OK, any info on what the garbage was?? I assumed there would be some typical MS crap that came with it but I don't recall seeing any new apps or features.

The only thing I noticed were random drops in fps, so I got rid of Creators Update.

Usually it goes well but I had graphics driver issues. If I were you I'd roll back to the previous version in settings and then re-upgrade to ensure nothing gets corrupted.

Damn, so no one seems to be experiencing this also. Well that sucks, for me at least. I'll play around a bit more in hope of finding a cause, but I guess it might just be a reinstall in the coming months.

Thanks for the input and advice everyone, appreciate it.
