Windows 10 update
Heads up I just finished the latest win10 update. It took over an hour. I have a very fast connection and my PC is an i7 so it wasn't lack of power or speed. It looked like it froze a few times...

That's pretty fast for these updates. You'll find your DOWNLOADS directory is now "Grouped By" Dates instead of sorted alphabetically. Microsoft says "you will like it" because every time you change the group by to none. they reset it back to group by date for you.
They did the same thing for my folders in Outlook making it hard for me to find anything. I was able to fix that after several searches for help.
They seem to like shooting themselves in the foot. I'm more inclined than ever to delve into Linux.
It would be great if MS would split Windows into two versions. One for those of us that like the classic desktop and hate the ribbon bar and those that like constant change. The more they change, the longer it takes me to accomplish the reason I sat down at the computer.
You CAN fix what MS broke with "O&O Shutup 10" which not only allows you reduce MS telemetry but also stop the forced updates (which allows you to wait a few weeks or even years for the dust to settle with broken updates).

To get back your MOST OF classic windows views try "Classic Shell", while development has been discontinued can still work with Win 10.

There is a group which has restarted the development of the former Classic Shell and it does have a slightly new name that is escaping me right now.
