The March roll-up update for Windows 10 appears to be causing headaches for users, some of whom have been left with computers that don't boot up after the patch has been applied.
Microsoft issued the update on March 2 Australian time and users who installed it via Windows Update soon after started complaining of problems.
Some experienced extremely long start-up times, with their devices taking over an hour to reach the user account login prompt.
Others said they were forced to boot from USB thumb drives with an earlier installation version of Windows 10 and attempt startup repair.
Also reported were computer slow-downs, the My Documents folder and Start Menu disappearing, and "blue screen of death" crashes.

Bollocks. AGAIN with the "upgrade" difficulties!
The DMFers at Microshaft hosed users once again. I have rescued no less than a dozen friends with a copy of Win 7 hardened against the Gates filth sent down the pike.
Oats in the H2o is just for the thirsty ...

I quit updating my laptop after an update to 10 killed my internet connectivity and I had to roll back to a restore point. I’ve decided to not update my desktop - I’ll stick with 7.

Thanks to Utilizer for the ping!!
You people are the reason I still have clients on Windows XP, Vista and 7 who refuse to upgrade. Argh! ;-)
W10 is not for me.
As the French are wont to say:
Plus ça change, plus ça reste la même chose.
Oops! My apologies mate. :! ***Ping*** ! (late, but I were getting there. Really!) *grin*
Thanks heaps for those forced updates, Microsoft. We love having our time wasted.
Win10 IS a problematic update. NO one in their right mind should ever load that spyware laden piece of crap. Exchange and Win10 should be killed off immediately by MS. I have 35+ years working with Microsoft products and support them, but those two products are beyond terrible.
Most of the critical computers I have that must run some legacy software is quite solidly centred on WinXP, so congratulations on your being able to run something as recent as Win7. Good luck, and mind those ‘background updates’ that continue to attempt to convert you to Win10 whether you wish to or not. Mind the “upgrades” now! :)
My computer updated Thursday night and I haven’t been able to turn it on since. I turn it on and it says “preparing automatic repair” and then blue screen of death and restarts and it’s a loop over and over. Can anyone help? I have a recorded drive on a usb but it won’t load.
Recorded drive = recovery drive
‘Ay, it’s not like I am forcing you to remain with a relatively stable OS instead of the buggy “Best OS” that the layabouts at MS are attempting to force you towards. I simply point out the problems as they appear, and if you feel you can live with them then by all means go ahead and become one of the unwitting Beta-Testers for MS that they appear to have intended you to have become. For the rest of us, considering the myriad of problems and continuing difficulties involved with their latest OS version, remaining with a proven Working System seems the better choice all things considered.
Tell me why I should not be on XP, not having any difficulties whatsoever. Where’s the advantage with Win10?
My computer installed this update last week and I have not encountered any issues. I guess I got lucky for once.
Linux. Most popular distro (Debian-based) so far is Mint. Except for Debian itself, of course.
Stable. Long-Term Support. Millions of users and many people who are willing to help resolve any difficulties.
Unlike some support services that appear to be centred in India or places nearby with nearly unintelligible “support” staff.
Many times simply reading the FAQ will provide a solution, but there are many people in the Forums sites that work to resolve difficulties if you ask.
I’m not a ‘doze expert, but I seem to recall that some versions of the ‘doze Install discs have a “Recovery” option available if you boot off of them. You might try that.
It is for me. I had Windows 8.1 on a brand new Asus desktop and it sucked. Did a clean install of Windows 10 I saved on flash drive and it works like a dream.
