DoctorLaptop Alert! Windows 10 Spring 2018 Update problem crashing many computers. The Windows 10 V1803 update, released 30APR18, has caused 2 major problems for many users. I have recovered a dozen of these victim computers for clients since this was released a month ago.
1) Some users, especially those that had updated from Win 7 or 8/8.1, are finding that after the update, they reboot to a blank Desktop with an error message that a user profile file cannot be accessed so Desktop is unavailable.
2) People will suddenly see a new OEM or recovery partition in their File Manager that has a logical drive letter assigned to them. No files appear in the partition despite it claiming to be full, and showing hidden files does not reveal the contents either. Options for deleting or renaming the new partition are not available. Then Windows 10 starts with constant notifications that the drive is full.
As always, I am available for consults and repairs should you experience either of these problems. See contact info at bottom of the page.

Recommendation
Night Owl Needs A Snack: Does anyone familiar with Torrox Costa know if there is a night-market, or some “all night accessible” vending machines, available after the supermarkets close at 9:30pm? Or even a kabab shop that stays open late? It appears the restaurants quit serving by about 10pm. Except the pizzerias that are usually open till midnight. I have found a cafe that opens at 5:30am; it has no sign. It’s between Russell’s UK Foods and Lew’s Restaurant on Av. El Faro. Thanks for any leads. Naythan, Torrox Costa. Reply to fixit@gmx.es
