How do I prevent Insider Program from re-installing Buggy Update?
I am in a similar boat as you. I do not think we can fully disable the update only postpone it for 7 days. You then have to install the update before you can make any changes to the insider program.
The only way back is a fresh install!! Back up everything first. There really should be a better downgrade path for those of us wishing to beta test Windows for Microsoft. I know it was my choice to go down this road, but since I can't simply go back to a stable build I will never be in the program again. Reinstall is not a huge deal, but I am just so busy right now Its hard justify the time it would take. I would be happy with a stay on current build until full release option!!!
If you pause you have to update, when updated I have to go back one build, then If I do not pause it right away it will just trying to install the build I just told it I had an issue with. How does that make any sense? I just want to stay on the build and get security updates.
My issue is different. It completely disables my Rat 7 mouse. A standard USB mouse works. The device shows an issue in device manager, but with this mouse being old I do not see an update in the future.
This build also seems to run horribly to me. Had a tone of little glitches.
At boot up, my startup apps take forever and when my EVGA software for my graphics card does come up the fan runs like a 747 at takeoff! Like the fan is not spinning at all until the software is up.
The mouse is the biggest issue. Anybody have an idea on how to repair this?
I will install the **bleep** update this weekend and try to repair the mouse drivers some more I guess.
I know I am harping on this, but if you just had to revert to an older build because of an issue why the hell would the insider program immediately try to install the update again upon relaunch!!! Sure pause it then when time runs out you can do nothing but install it again, rinse and repeat until March?
Please tell me I am missing something about this process.
Thanks
Hi Brandon Ferguson
I am glad (!) that I am not the only one with this issue!
I started in Computers in 1969 and am now retired. I have time on my hands but frustration levels are wearing a little thin!!
I am going to try and pursue this with Microsoft but I need the communities help. I need a telephone number or email address so I can start a dialogue with 'our masters'.
What I find amusing is that if you read between the lines Microsoft is trying to integrate AI into W10 - or so the literature says... This being the case you would think that their AI engine would be a little bit more receptive to my requests.. Every time I try and 'ask a question' I tries to fob me off with a load of unrelated hogwash.
Anyway - I repeat - if anybody can point me to a number or email address I will fly the flag for those affected by this terrible release.
I can not believe that the community is so abused and not supported by Microsoft.
