List your problems with Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

I haven't worked out how to fix that yet

Wipe and reinstall everything.

I would have a fight on my hands doing that. I may sit in here and advise people of their problems but when it comes to family, they don't trust me enough to do that. She thinks I will break it if I just try to fix the Eset thing without a fresh install. Which is funny as I am person in family most used to reinstalling windows.

PC needs it though as it hasn't had a fresh install on it since we got it. Some things are on there from before dad died and I don't know if mum has all the necessary passwords, she very non tech minded. At some stage in its life it had an office trial on it, ever since then, every few months Windows update tries to install updates for it. I tried to put AU on it and it sat at 75% installed for 4 hours before i decided that wasn't working and restarted PC

I think getting some of its drivers would be a struggle as its all old. I wasn't going to put win 10 on it the first place but my brother did it without telling me. It's a dell, it was made with old parts when we got it. It doesn't even have DVI on the GPU. My last PC was better than it and was 3 years older. I was not amused by the PC when we got it, I had bought it so dad could play games on it, and it failed miserably. Never buying Dell again.

Mum relies on my brother for a lot of this and he is currently on an airline flying between London and Singapore, so once he gets home in a few days we will get her a new PC. I went looking a few months ago but I expect too much from a PC and none of them had an ssd in them. She doesn't need that but I have standards

You just need to take it out of sight for a few hours.
Poof, magic, done.

I have one user who gets an error message every time they log in to any of their accounts since the update. Translates as " We cannot log in to your account and will use a temporary profile, any changes you make will not be kept" (Machine uses Windows in French) All accounts are local and each time they log in default progs are reset to MS defaults and any changes to desktop or other browsers are lost.

I would fresh install PC and start again (naturally after backing up everything)

As for my mums PC, it randomly upgraded to AU last week without me doing anything.. so I guess it needed a few updates before it was ready.

Tried a few solutions I found but none worked so used a restore point from before the update, everything back to normal. Here's hoping next upgrade attempt will not have the same effect

After my desktop was upgraded yesterday at a time MS said looked convenient (it wasn't and couldn't be changed, ruining my plans for the evening), the problems are in two groups.

1) Things I could fix. I found that Epson Scan, the software that does the best job of controlling my Epson PSC, had been deleted. I thought maybe incompatible, but I re-installed from the .exe file I downloaded 2 or 3 years ago and it works again, no problem. Strange and unacceptable to delete my programs without a word.

2) Unfixable to date. The most irritating of these is that File Explorer details view (or any other) no longer shows the file information panel when you click (select) one, or several, files. I use this continually to view or add tags, comments, date taken etc to one or more images (for example). It's a brilliant facility, easily add a tag or comment to multiple files. A work round is to display properties, and work your way round to the relevant fields, but this is very much less convenient and takes much more time. It will seriously impact my ability to complete tasks on time. I can't find anyone else reporting this, but it's unlikely to be just my PC affected.

UPDATE: I found the correct solution to the File Explorer issue. In the ribbon on the 'file' tab there is an option to turn on the details pane again. Why MS turned it off by default and didn't respect previous settings, who know.
