Is the Windows 10 update wreaking havoc on your computer? Here's how to manage it.

QUESTION: I've heard horror stories about the latest Windows 10 update; is there a way to stop it from loading on my laptop? ANSWER: There have been widespread reports of major issues for certain laptops with the August Cumulative Windows 10 update also known as version 2004. Cumulative updates are a collection of security and performance fixes only while "Feature updates" are the ones that add new functionality to Windows. By default, Windows 10 automatically updates itself so these problematic updates are catching some users by surprise. Various Lenovo ThinkPad models that were released in the past couple of years have been experiencing numerous blue screen of death (BSoD) issues along with errors in the device manager and the inability to use the facial recognition login in Windows Hello.
