Another minor hiccup, or series of them.

I have had to roll back the most recent Windows update twice now because for some reason, actually getting it on this computer has been the most difficult process… and this thing doesn’t have bad specs, so it confuses me as to why the process of updating it seems to be the most cumbersome and difficult. I’ve tried to follow the advice of tech blogs and tech message boards that I have found, and have tried different ways to download the update, so we will see how that goes since I am now doing the lattermost of those things…

I mean, when this new computer works well, it works great. Don’t get me wrong.

However, when it decides to throw random errors, they are some of the worst that I have seen, and I thought that I liked Windows 10. As this continues to bother me and give me migraines, I am beginning to rethink that given the sheer difficulty of updating a computer that should effortlessly be able to update (from a fresh Windows 10 load a few days ago, no less!). I’m still thankful that the system restore that I attempted when everything seemed absolutely amiss with this computer actually worked… thankful, and equal parts surprised that it actually did restore nearly everything, to include my files and some of the most important settings on this computer that I wanted to keep. Hopefully at some point I can actually update this thing…
