I have an HP touch screen and the windows updates are a nightmare. I finally turned off the automatic updates from windows 10! I was tired of them forcing their updates especially on functionality that I never used. They even made turning off the updates tricky! You have to set your internet connection to "metered" to fake them out! Argh! :S
This last update caused major issues and I had to redo the computer. Since my personal files are not stored on the hard drive it was not hard to reload windows and my other programs. The windows anniversary edition caused hardware problems though.
My problem now is I lost my touch screen capabilities. I had it with the prior edition of windows 10 but now it is gone! Can't find touch screen anywhere in the device manager! Any advise on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.

I'm using a product called "Start 10" by Startdock Software. It will give you a start button menu very much like windows 7.

All of these complaints are configurable. Google is your friend if you want to find out how to make behind the scenes configurations Google it.
Also if you like Win 7 look, configure it for that look. The only thing you can't do is get rid of the new start button and Bing, but you can make the rest of it look like Win 7, I did.
Good luck with your configurations.

Barney, I have 2 Surfaces that have been running the update for some time with no issues. Surface was the first to get the anniversary update. My desktop did the update today and stuck exactly at 32% as well. I finally got brave and forced it to shut down. Turned it back on and it finished loading with no hiccups. I think it must have stuck on one of the reboots.

I have been on Windows 10 for some time now and like it.
HOWEVER, today my main desktop tried to update itself to version 1607. Everything seemed to be going fine until the updates got to 32% and it has stayed there for the past 6 hours. Very little hard drive activity going on so I assume it has locked up.
What is my next step? I am considering letting it keep running until tomorrow morning and if still at 32% done, giving Microsoft a call unless someone here has a better suggestion. I don't dare force a shut down now for fear it won't start again so please don't suggest going back to Windows 7. Not sure I can do that now anyway.
Any ideas?
My new laptop came with Window 10 and I see the update is ready to be installed. I have it set to update at 3:30AM when the computer is shut down so I don't think it will do it. Hope not - at least for now.
