Windows 10 had a big update on my PC the other day, has this happened to anyone else? Or does anyone know what might cause this? Or a way to fix it?

My PC: i5 4690k===MSI GAMING 3===980TI===8GB-Corsair-Vangence-Pro-Series===H100i-GTX===EVGA G2 750W===Samsung 850evo m.2 boot drive===Samsung 250gb evo SSD===Seagate-Barracuda-1TB-HDD===NZXT-H440

I had to hard reset my PC fives times to get the update working. If I do nothing, it's just black screen with circle dots spinning for hours with no HDD progress sign. Other than that, I'm not experiencing any memory leak yet. I'd wait for new updates, or try to contact Microsoft on Twitter or something.

That's probably why you're having issues...

 

Do a clean install and you won't have those problems.

It messed mainly with chrome settings changed the font and everything. Do you mean a clean install of OS? 

 

Anyway i use this link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3183922 uninstalled the update then used the program in the link to hide the update.

Yes, clean install the OS properly.

Especially if you upgraded from 7 or 8.
