The Windows 10 November update switched privacy options from disabled to active.
The Windows 10 November update switched privacy options from disabled to active.
I thought I updated, but later realized my privacy options were altered. Initially they were off, but after the update they came back on. Some features were missing from the start menu, certain drivers were removed and new ones were added instead. Once the update neared completion, Windows claimed all settings matched the previous state—though that’s not true. It seems it resets your privacy settings and performs a format.
I finished the latest update and it didn’t alter any of my settings that were easy to spot from call history, email, or messaging. The call history/email sections still show up on my other system running Windows 10 without the update, so they must have been added recently. They told me my mouse wasn’t needed anymore and just reinserted it, which fixed the issue. I got access to the Store and Edge browser for a day before both stopped working again.
What graphics card are you using? Have you attempted to update your graphics driver? All recent Windows applications support full GPU rendering. If this doesn't assist, consider creating a new account and testing there. Once confirmed, you can move files between accounts. It may be inconvenient, but it avoids a full reinstall. If your account is linked to Microsoft, ensure it's set up locally first and restart your device; otherwise, Windows may indicate an existing account when you create a new one with the same credentials.
Barnacules documented identical occurrences. It seems this issue is affecting numerous devices.
I disabled them during the Windows setup, so it seems the rollback didn’t go that deep. A few settings shifted—fast boot was enabled, Ethernet magic packet was unchecked, and still discovering new issues... well, that’s just part of the fun. It’s a joke how they can turn it back on, can’t you?
