On Tuesday, Windows 10 Pro said that my current release of Windows 10 (I believe it was 1904) was going out of support and I needed to upgrade to release 2004. Against my better judgment, I allowed it to proceed when I went to bed Tuesday night then the problems started on Wednesday (yesterday).
What dumb-ass developer or team or management at Microsoft allows an update to go around deleting settings and breaking a user’s environment. Yes, Microsoft Windows people, I’m calling you all a bunch of dumb-asses.
So far, I have found that the Windows 10 update has broken or deleted the following:
(1) Broke MQ – I could no longer use amqmdain command. When I run it, I get the following error:
AMQ6509E: Unable to update registry value.
After some internet searches, I found that I needed to run the following command to fix the issue:
crtmqdir -f -a
(2) Deleted a registry entry that set my ALT-Tab to WinXT style ALT-Tab:
After some internet searches, I found I had to do the following
– Create a DWORD Value called AltTabSettings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer and set it to 1.
– Rebooted
(3) Broke connection to Buffalo TeraStation – it disabled SMB
After some internet searches, I found this page and did the following:
– Open Control Panel.
– Click on Programs & Features
– Click on Turn Windows features on or off.
– Expand the SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support option.
– Check/Select all 3 SMB 1.0/CIFS entries
– Click the OK button.
– Rebooted
Because of this, last nights backups ALL FAILED. What if I had an emergency because of some sort of issue or corruption or ransomware? I would be using 2 day old data!!! And not the previous day!!
(4) Broke 8GadgetPack
I had to perform a repair of the package and then it worked again.
This is what I have found and fixed so far. Microsoft, I don’t have time for your dumb-ass stupidity. What the hell is wrong with you people?!?! I’m in the middle of helping customers test a new product and I don’t have time for this shit!!!
There. I feel better after venting.
