    Bloody Win 10 update is after messing up my laptop.

    It has the screen all stretched looking and Sleep has disappeared from my power options so when I close the lid it shuts laptop off completely.

    Have checked all drivers and it says all up to date.

    When I recover laptop to an earlier date everything is fine but then Windows updates after an hour or so and everything is messed up again.

    Have run AVG, Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner and all come up clear.

    Anybody have anything similar happen to them ??

    If your graphics card is an ATI card, the solution that worked for me is in the other thread you posted in.

    Thanks again for the help guys/gals, problem was a driver update. Driver updates are on a different list of their own to the usual updates so I hadn't even spotted it. Rolled it back and blocked it from downloading again. Fingers crossed that seems to have done the job. :):)

    One feature I would highly recommend is to block Windows Update from downloading drivers. Use the following command:

    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    You can undo it by running:

    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
