Speaking of Windows Update, it stubbornly refused to apply a cumulative update. I ran sfc /scannow, it restored the Start Menu shortcuts I'd reorganized and then the update could install.

Start Menu shortcuts.

:negative:

Do you know if it is the KB3097617 update? I've been trying to get it to install and it just won't. Everytime I boot it will say it couldn't complete the update and it reverts changes. It will boot fine afterwards but just repeat the same process next time. I tried manually installing it with a setup file from MS and it didn't work either. Also tried the sfc /scannow before doing that and it found nothing. Anyone have any ideas? :(

Also my favorite part was when I tried to find the manual download from MS and it told me I needed to view the page in Explorer 6 or later. So I thought alright, that means I should load up Edge, the new official microsoft browser right?



You have to load the old IE they kept to actually view it since their new browser can't handle it :wtc:

I mean yeah it makes sense now but I just figured that Edge, which comes by default on your taskbar and has the same looking icon as IE would be the thing I was expected to use at first. I tried it again later though and this time it gave me the warning to open IE instead so dunno what happened the first time.
