    every time there is a f..king windows update?

    I thought I was pretty good with computers, but this is getting ridiculous.

    The last time there was an update everything had to be resized, and a few adjustments had to be made. I was reluctant to let this newest update happen because of the previous one, but I figured it was inevitable, so...

    Now my desktop background is gone, my desktop icons are twice their normal size, and the font on a webpage and any document is half of what it was. I can barely read the shit because it is so small.

    I'm either missing a setting or two somewhere, or Microsoft hates everyone. Please help.
     
  2. First thing you do is to install Pokki to get the start menu back...
     
  3. Dump win 8 and get Windows 7.

    Learned long ago, when windows has an update, don't put it on for two months otherwise you become their beta tester.
     
  5. Number 2.

    But seriously speaking, toss another vote in for Win 7 over Win 8.

    I thought 8.1 fixed the 8 bullshit. Guess not.

    ? Any fixes for Firefox updates which similarly mismanage my browser configs?
     
  8. Why do you people do updates?

    If you go under the hood of your car and "fix" something every day that is not broken, I promise you that you will destroy that automobile.

    I restored it to the middle of last week. It's fine now. I'm sure it will want me to do another update soon, though.

    Had the same problem with Firefox. Went to Opera 3-4 months ago and love it.
    Have Windows 8.1 and haven't had any problems with the updates.
