Kellyb Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I don't know if I'm in the right area of the forum or not for this. Why do I have to setup my computer like it's brand new every time there is a Windows 10 update and a restart? It's very annoying. Link to post Share on other sites

The only possible time is when it does a full OS upgrade; even then your old settings etc should remain; unless you have selected to do a clean install. Normal updates shouldn't require this.

I've had several machines prompt me to add a Microsoft acct, use Cortana, etc. just like is done when you first setup a fresh install. I think that's M$ way of trying to further entrench you in their ecosystem. Link to post Share on other sites

Kellyb Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thank you all for your responses. It's very frustrating to have to go through setting everything up again after an update. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the OP was referring to a full 'brand new setup' - Yep the whole Cortana thing; sitting for ages while the screen flashes 'Hi' in several colors is annoying!! - That's why I use Linux Link to post Share on other sites
