Find out what update was installed. If it was Build 1511, then think of it as 
Windows 10.1

You can remove Flash via Add/Remove Programs except for inside IE – Microsoft 
maintains Flash within IE at the moment. Use Firefox/Edge/Chrome whatever to 
not have Flash.

Subject: [OT] Windows 10 warning

Folks, yesterday afternoon I decided to "clean up" my brand new Windows 10 
development box. Using sysinternals tools I found dozens of services and 
auto-start things that I disabled. I cleared the start tiles, uninstalled some 
OS features, etc. It all went quite well, but I haven't defeated and removed 
Flash yet!! I took thinks a step further and followed the hints in these pages 
to clear junk folders out of the Windows Explorer tree and to remove all the 
Universal apps that I will never use:

http://www.howtogeek.com/224798/how-to-uninstall-windows-10s-built-in-apps-and-how-to-reinstall-them/

This all worked beautifully, but this morning when I booted I got a weird 
screen telling me "Windows has installed updates and all of your files are 
exactly where you left them". My screen background was black, and absolutely 
everything I uninstalled or altered yesterday was undone. Everything is back, 
folders, apps, everything.

This makes me very angry. Who owns this PC?
