BROKEN WINDOWS UPDATE MADE ME RE-INSTALL WINDOWS 10


Well that freaking worked. Well there was an update that KILLED the update feature in Windows 10 recently (5/12/2020). You may want to go to settings then updates and check updates. If it tosses you some freaking error it's had the bun basically.

So I tried it all. I enabled the administrator account then tried to update from it - NOPE. I tried to use PowerShell to rebuild the Image - NOPE. I tried the registry patch from Microsoft - NOPE. I cleaned up the files with the drive cleaner including the update files - NOPE.

What I had to do is download the media tool and run it then say "update now" then do what it says basically. Took FOREVER as I don't have an SSD - I've got a slow HDD. Then after that I had to update and I noticed it DID NOT install the broken one - in fact I think it's been removed from the list.

This leaves you with a shit pile of old files you literally CAN'T remove by just deleting the "windows.old" folder. You have to pull up properties on the boot drive then hit the clean Disk Cleanup box. In it click "clean up system files" then go have coffee - it will chew on it a while. There is a box for updates and one for old versions - click them and it will ditch the crap pile of old windows files.

BTW if you need to do this - literally book an afternoon to do it unless you have a fast system with a fast drive then it should not be so freaking long.

SAID Did Not Handle It at All

Image
I'm actually extremely more sad than angry. I put a lot of energy into trying to get an advance, but it seems doomed to not happen, no matter how much I need it. Mar 13, 2024 I email SAID (disability in Saskatchewan). Mar 15, 2024 Left a voice mail. Mar 18, 2024 left another voice mail. Mar 20, 2024 got a call telling me they would process the advance on Mar 21, 2024. The deposit into my account should have been just after midnight on Mar 22, 2024. Well this is 6:46 am Mar 22, 2024 and I have left yet another voicemail. The money was never deposited OF COURSE. I need shoes SOON, but do you think I can get the government workers to do what they are being paid to do? Well, no I can't. I would pray that they get the message and it somehow magically gets deposited today before 1 pm. But I am rather sure this was the last push I needed to stop believing there is a God. I am really depressed right now and exhausted. The stress of them taking so dang long to even get back to me has le

Feeling Abandoned by the SAID Program (Saskatchewan Disability)

Image
"Saskatchewan Department of Human Services" is the closest translation to Saskatchewan Social Services Department I could get. But I made them a new logo. They are the ones who run the disability here in the province. I know someone is picking up for my working not working there anymore, but it's been a LONG time and no call from them at all. I sent an email request to the email I was told to send it to. I called the number twice after that to leave a message. This is not cool from email to now is 4 working days. In all that time surly, it's my turn to be handled? I'm very upset and it's literally making me sick. So some art therapy is in order I think. To be honest I've had it a LOT better with them than the medical system to say the least, but DANG, I'm stressed out to the max and I am getting frightened that something very bad has gone wrong like thy messed up and closed my file by mistake. It HAS happened to a friend, so don't think it's no

Medical Update (Disturbing Photo Warning)

Image
On Dec. 31, 2023 I was laying on the floor in my apartment for 7 hours after falling when I got too drunk. I wan not able to get up and it took some time for anyone to hear me calling for help. I find it amazing that the people on either side of me, or across the hall heard nothing, but the lady way down the hall did hear me. She called an ambulance for me and I was helped off the floor with use of an air bag designed just for this task. I was taken to the hospital and seen right away. When in the hospital I was advised I needed a CT scan of my brain right away, as I'm on blood thinners and they worried about bleeding into my brain, since I could not recall falling. The CT operator in the Moose Jaw hospital was not available and I had to be taken to Regina General to have the scan. Fortunately, I did not have any bleeding in my brain. I have to say, that after being on the floor for 7 hours, if I did, I'd be dead or a salad plate by the time I was found. But better to be cautio
