Hello, received your reply

Maybe you can refer to this file and overwrite it again while keeping everything (all apps and settings will be retained). According to win10, you can read the content carefully and decide whether to perform a reinstall.

The link is as follows:

I hope the above advice helps you!

Thanks for your reply but I am not about to do a reinstallation of Windows 10 when there in nothing wrong with my computer or my wife's computer. This is MS problem that they created with their

update KB5001716 and they either need to fix it or take that useless update out. That update is nothing more than trying to force Win11 on Win10 users who computers are eligible to install it .

May I direct your attention to my post here for you to read and understand what KB5001716 is all about

Reinstalling win10 is not an option but thanks anyway..

That's not true that running a windows repair using the ISO as recommended will not change your settings etc. First, I have always lost any of all changes to the Registry. So, keep your registry changes in a text app page such as notebook text card to enable to put them back into the registry as needed.

Second, I have lost costume icons and other identifiers such as in file explorer tabs and comments disappear.

I have had office Excel and Word macros I have made in the ribbon disappear.

Several other oddities also happen after a windows repair to and including complete boot failures.

I do not trust Microsoft at all with their updates and their recommended fixes. The internet is filled with such complaints and rightfully so is the Microsoft pushback of loading updates and any recommended restore and fixes. The neo developers have literally wasted our time and patients with loss of productivity with tried-and-true older tools and functions that actually were highly used by power users as one old single click functions have turned into multi click functions and customization in office apps is horrible using ribbons and stuck with single custom quick access toolbars. I call Window is for dummies who couldn't deal with real productively and function tools and simple customizable toolbars for single click functions with easy macros build. YOU HAVE SCREW THE ENTIRE WINDOWS IDEA THAT MADE IT WHAT WAS FOR MILLIONS OF POWER USERS. YOU TOOK AWAY ALL USER POSSIBLE OPTIONS. Might as well be stuck in Apple land at least their OS works.

Personally I do not think it is from your graphics card. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and the driver is fully up to date. This error is because of KB5001716 that MS recently installed on my computer and my wife's laptop on Oct.4th. Please read my post about it here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/what-is-up-with-kb5001716/1efea612-fec6-42ba-9542-cf1ccb4b9f92

First I am not a gamer except for playing Solitaire and Majong LOL even though I have an HP Omen Desktop which I feel is quite powerful that I use for intensive photo editing and consulting work at my former IT Job that I retired from. Now if you go to Windows (C:) then open Program Files you will see a file called RUXIM which I bet if you access properties of that file you will see it was created the same day your computer installed KB5001716. Now go back to Windows (C:) and then open Program Data and I bet you will see a file named PLUG and if your access that files properties you will see that is was created the same day your computer installed KB5001716. Open the PLUG file and you will see Logs and open that up and you will see numerous log files being created with the .ETL extension every time you start up or restart your computer. It appears that our computers are being scanned and log files being generated. Open up one of the .ETL log files that correspond to the date and time an error you got using Notepad. The RUXIM and PLUG and KB5001716 are all connected in some way which I suspect is Windows Update. I have filed bug reports in the Feedback Hub about all of this but of course I have not heard anything back as usual. I hope you file reports as well as the more that are reported the quicker the action. I feel these .ETL files should be able to delete but since it is Program Data I am not sure if they can. These log files appear to be useless. Right now I am going to ignore these errors like I ignore the Windows Remediation failing to start errors.

Since this latest update my PC (Win10) has been crashing in new and wonderful ways: hard crash to BSoD and a reboot, games, Audio suites, DAW software, Google, Edge, Firefox will all just stop and dump out to desktop. I lost about a half hour worth of recorded guitar parts because the crash forced the tracks to be truncated and essentially trashed. My PC is a few years old but when I built it I built it to last. Everything was running fine until this cursed update.
