Please stop pushing updates on me!  I am tired of them. I like the way Windows runs right now...I am not a Luddite, I just don't want the any more wonkyness or weird Chromium hybrid crapshoots.  Please, let me be!  In seven days, I don't want to have this argument again!  If I have to, I'll look for legal means....please just stop!!!

Or at least let the updates process take place when the PC is turned off.

I just had this update on my PC and now it will not boot. Fails the BIOS POST test with a series of beeps, completely blank screen.

I bought it only 5 days ago, have tried re-seating the RAM and GPU.

Hard to decipher the beeps as the screen is blank and I dont know what MB make it is. (8 regular slow beeps. Then a repeat of two slow low tone beeps, two fast high tone beeps - if that means anything to anyone!)

I did have some important work to do, but I guess not, thanks microsoft :(

I presume there is no way to fix this and the PC is now dead, as it wont ever boot up again now, to receive a Windows update fix ... to fix this "update fix"?

Well, ONE part of this update is optional and is offered as such. The rest isn't.

Well, how does one selectively NOT install optional updates?

Tried to install kb4535996 but it failed. Windows said to restart computer and try again. I did, windows updates says this update FAILED to install but when I check for "UPDATES in settings, it states I'm up do date.

What gives ???--- and how do I see if this item did install on my PC as its listed in the"uninstall now area"--- just simply do not know if it's installed.

Any advice from Microsoft or the gentleman that has his Youtube channel " windows and computer" updats ?

Thanks for any advice or if others have had the same problem.

PS-- my computer is running ok but it states in "Settings" that this update FAILED!!!
