I upgraded earlier today and discovered the new upgrade changed some of my settings back to default but left others alone. For example:
- It enabled some scheduled tasks that I disabled,
- It enabled hardware drivers for Windows Update,
- It restored Edge as the default browser,
- It set IE setting back to default -- accepting third party cookies,
- It also stated my Outlook (2010) settings weren't current and I should switch to Mail.
On the other hand, it left power options, System Restore and Windows Update (I use Group Policy to "never check") settings alone.
Bottom line -- check the settings that are important to you. The Upgrade may or may not have changed them.
