Use System Restore to restore your computer back to a point in time before you installed the update. To perform a System Restore, open a run dialog &#8211; Windows key + R &#8211; and type RSTRUI in the run box and press enter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">2.

Cumulative Updates are rolled out as collective updates and include improvements and enhancements for the Windows 10 operating system. Windows Updates are released to keep Windows-based computers up to date with the latest patches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Here&#8217;s more Windows 10 cumulative update KB4515384 from MS Poweruser:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Windows 10 KB4515384 cumulative update has proved to be quite buggy, with some compromising the Start menu and Windows Search, and others causing audio issues. Users have now reported on further issues that they\u2019re experiencing with the update.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">On Microsoft\u2019s Feedback Hub, a user reported a bug that came with the update, that disables Ethernet or WiFi connectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Cumulative update (kb4515384) causes the NIC to fail to enable with a code 10 error. Reinstalling network drivers from Intel or Windows Update sources does not resolve the issue. However removing the update through the \u2018Programs &amp; Software\u2019 panel or using a recovery point set *before* the update fully resolves the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Another user reported that their network adapter stopped working after they applied the update:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">KB4515384 breaks ethernet and wifi adapters on my PC. Appears to create new devices as they\u2019re labelled \u2018#2\u2019 and when exposing hidden devices in Device Manager the previously named devices appear. Uninstalling these \/ new or old drivers do not fix the issues (i.e. \u201cethernet unplugged\u201d which it is clearly not). Only option was to uninstall this update.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Additionally, users have been unable to open Action Center after installing the update.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">To read more <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mspoweruser.com\/windows-10-kb4515384-is-now-causing-network-adapter-and-action-center-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">see this MS Poweruser article<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Cumulative Update KB4515384 Causing Headaches for Windows 10 Users A Windows 10 cumulative update released on September 10, 2019, is causing problems for many Windows 10 Users.
