Two days ago on the 13th of February the update KB4532693 installed itself. As soon as it installed I noticed problems with my HP 17 AK series laptop. First of all the fans started going mad so I looked in the task manager and several process where in the red. Most notably Microsoft Edge. Even closing Edge the fans were still going mad and the screen kept sticking for short periods. Knowing Windows updates cause problems I went straight to installed updates and deleted the KB4532693 update and turned the laptop off and on again. No problems..... until the 14th of February when the update reinstalled itself. Again the fans were going mad, this time when I went to delete the update in Installed Updates it would not let me delete it. So I did a system restore to the 12th of February before the offending update was initially installed. All was working well until I checked Start menu > Settings > Update and Security to check that the system restore had indeed removed the KB4532693 update. As soon as Update and Security opened, it closed again. After several attempts it kept doing it. I got around Update and Security not opening by typing "Installed Updates" in the search box. And low and behold
It's back.... I have just run an DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth in command prompt (admin) but this has not solved the problem. I Update and Security will not open from Settings in the Start Menu. I've also just read that this update has damaged a lot of HP computers with AMD chips, as mine has. https://www.techradar.com/news/the-latest-windows-10-updates-are-causing-more-serious-issues . Is it not time that Microsoft stopped breaking peoples computers and wasting customers time with the unnecessary unsolicited system "updates"? Obviously security updates are necessary but virtually no one wants system updates, they're just too damaging. As is, I'm currently attempting to uninstall update KB4532693. But as I cannot open Update and Security I have no way of delaying or stopping it from reinstalling itself! This is unacceptable! I appreciate any help anyone can off in relation to this conundrum.
