Felt the need to resurrect this thread after yesterday.

I cancelled my CC subscription deleted the programs and bought Elements 15,all was ok until i read you could have Adobe bridge without a subscription so i downloaded it and the fun started.

First it didn't open and no desk top icon, i couldn't create a icon so i thought delete the program,it would not delete no matter what i did, just a box came up saying a command line was incorrect re enter it correctly (what ever that means) so i thought leave it for now.
Decided to edit some pictures, i down load into view so tried to open that,a box came up talking about a comparability issue ( i ran it the day before no problem) delete the program and reinstall, so i did that guess what no difference.
Now the icing on the cake for me,thought i would open my images in fastone, it will not pass the images over to Elements even though i have added Elements to the list so i have to save to a temporary folder and open in Elements from that, elements wouldn't open it said my subscription had expired please renew if i wanted to continue.
I removed Elements reloaded no difference,after a while cursing and swearing i thought roll my computer back a week, i could not find anywhere on the system for doing this (windows 10) by now i was well pi$$ed off.
I could go on the Adobe forum but in the past they have told me to do things i didn't understand,last major problem i had was getting CC to activate at the beginning had to allow Adobe into my system and it took them over an hour to sort it.

Well i bit the bullet and did a refresh to day one,kept my files so that wasn't bad but cleared the Adobe programs and lots of other crap i had gathered in the last year, ime sure with the older operating systems you could just roll it back a week or what ever,need to sort this restore thing out ready for next time.

I have Windows 10 also Mike. I did a search and it lists a Restore your files with File History under Settings. Is that what you were looking for?

Recovery is also under settings.

Maybe you should create a restore point after you load each program.

As i don't understand how these magic boxes work my thoughts are buy a new ext drive put a reminder on my calendar for the first of each month and back my whole system up each month,the way i see it is on my 3rd back up i can delete the first so keeping two on all the time.
Ime not too bothered about losing stuff as images ect are backed up any way its more if i do something again like load a program that causes problems i can just go back before it.
