Problems Following Windows 10 Update

[Coppit]

This messed up all sorts of things. My Taskbar disappeared but I managed to retrieve it.
Hard to describe is that sites associated with the Firefox icon on the Toolbar used to all be grouped on the Taskbar. Now, some are on the Toolbar within the Firefox icon. How to get them all back up top?
eg. If I have my email on the taskbar, others can only be shown alongside by clicking the FF icon.

Well, it seems I need to wait for next update.

updated both laptop and desktop pc no problems at all in fact both working better ...i rest my case ;-)

Try deleting the taskbar icons and reinstalling them.

I've had no problems with the update either, on any my machines.

It hasn't been plain sailing for every one
Activation errors
BSOD problems
Remote Desktop Connection problems
High CPU usages
Edge favourites vanishing
Apps missing
Creating havoc with Lazer laptops

It hasn't been plain sailing for Mrs NJ either. She has a machine with a very small hard disk capacity (though completely adequate for her purposes). Her machine cannot accommodate the update because of low disc space. She doesn't need the update and doesn't want it but her machine is constantly disabled by MS trying to provide it against her wishes.

No problems here either on lap top and desktop. I did mind you read through all messages including the option to import favourites, or bookmarks, from a choice of browsers.
Judge your good lady needs to go into the "Update Settings" and choose not to have auto upgrades.

"Judge your good lady needs to go into the "Update Settings" and choose not to have auto upgrades."

No such option with W10, Togo. That's where my argument with MS begins (but by no means ends). They should not have the authority to impose updates without option.

[Togo]

Then it is best to go into Settings, Upgrades and Security, View Installed Updates History, Uninstall Updates, then uninstall the programme that you do not want. I am assuming that it has started to install and now keeps trying to complete.

[New Judge]

No no no, Togo. It's not like that at all. The update does not begin. A pop-up appears (covering two-thirds of the screen) informing the user that Windows has attempted to install the update but cannot do so due to lack of space. It orders the user to free up space (presumably by disposing of stuff they need in order to accommodate stuff they don't). Very often the only way to clear this nonsense is to shut the machine down. None of this should be necessary. It is my machine (or more properly Mrs NJ's) and is not to be trifled with by third parties, especially when the"trifling" is of no benefit whatsoever.

NJ I reluctantly point you to this program as I don’t generally believe computer users should block Windows updates but as you can’t get updates and it’s causing you problems take a look at “Win Update Disabler”
http://www.site2unblock.com/win-updates-disabler/
I use it to prevent updates until I am confident that the update will not adversely affect my computers or the software I use
The correct way to resolve your problem is get a larger hard disk but that is your decision

[New Judge]

Thanks for the info, Bertrum. Don't need a larger hard disc as it is perfectly adequate for its purpose if left alone. My view on Windows updates are that they are not updates at all but are simply provided to fix faults in the original inadequate product. I've had none on my W8 machine for over two years and suffer no problems apart from the usual Windows bugs (locking up, "Not Responding", etc.) which I've suffered from time immemorial with all W versions.

But thanks again and I may give your suggestion a try.

Thanks for all contributions. hc 4361, with ten Folders containing ca. 100 sites it's something I'd not want to attempt.
