    After latest Update, Windows 10 Pro will not restart?


    I just today, August 31, 2020, installed an update to Windows 10 Pro. When it restarted, all that happened was a black screen with a flashing white cursor in the upper left of the screen. Panicked, I inserted my Windows 10 System Repair Disk that I created when I updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It restarted and asked me to select keyboard layout, which I did, then option to continue to Windows 10, which I did, and I let it restart. It seemed to restart normally. Then another update popped up and asked me to allow a restart which I did and after it installed, the very same thing happened again. Now I am afraid to turn my PC off. Can someone please tell me what to do?

    Thank you!

    :)

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

  3. PC restarts when playing GTA 5 and DotA 2 after Windows 10 Anniversary Update

    @JL87 @INSTG8R @SnakeDoctor @Recon-UK @Moofachuka

    Before I did a clean install of Windows, I updated Windows 10 to the latest patch with the Cumulative Updates with the Malicious Removal and etc, ran Unigine and I was in the middle of the benchmark (50%) and it restarted.

    Just now, I finished my Windows 10 clean install and ran the Unigine again and it ran 75% and it restarted.

    So, PSU issue?

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
