    Hello all,

    First post on here but I'm quite frankly stuck and mystified at what is going on here. I have only just realised that for some time, my PC has not been installing Windows 10 updates. In fact it seems for well over a year. My current version is getting rather old to the point I recieve this

    "You’re currently running a version of Windows that’s nearing the end of service. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 to get the latest features and security improvements." I agree. So I decided to fire up Windows Update expecting this to be an easy fix. How wrong I was.

    The latest update is 20H2, so I check for updates and it gets downloading and then installing and then it requires an restart. Which seems fine to me. Only when I do that, my PC boots into safe mode, giving me the option to turn off the PC or troubleshoot, neither of which are very helpful. I can reboot normally via the BIOS settings, or I turn off the PC and turn it back on again.

    However this basically means the update never completes and my PC has forgotten anything I've done, so I'd start the process again and then I'm stuck in a never-ending loop where updates haven't been done for a year.

    I have tried everything in this thread (short of a clean restart, which I'd rather not do) to no avail. It's driving me crazy as I'm going round in circles and can't seem to get past the final part. My computer boots absolutely fine if I'm turning it on for the first time of the day and I'm experiencing no other issues. I'm getting 0xC1900101 most often and I did resolve one driver problem, but I still can't restart properly and complete the process. Any help would be very much appreciated. I can post my specs too if helpful.

    Edit: I'm currently in version 1809.



    My previous attempts.

  2. Password not accepted in Safe mode

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    Have you tried all the above steps suggested by Sangeeta Sarkar on September 13, 2015.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

    • Are you trying to login the Microsoft account or the Local account in safe mode?
    • Did you try with only safe mode or safe mode with networking?
    • What is the critical error you are getting?

    If you are using Windows 10. To go to safe mode you have to follow the below steps.

    If you are able to go to login screen in normal mode try the below steps to go to safe mode with networking.


    • At the login screen click on the power symbol.

    • Hold SHIFT + Click Restart.

    • After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.

    • Select advanced options under
      Troubleshoot screen.

    • Click on Startup Settings.

    • Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to
      Safe Mode with networking and check if you are able to login.

    Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

    I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

    Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .

  4. Restarts into safe mode after installing latest Windows Update

    Boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10  


    I am stuck in Safe Mode in spite of following all the suggested steps to go back to Normal Startup - Like opening file location of msconfig.exe & running as Administrator. The computer I am trying to get out of safe mode has just been updated from Windows 7.
