Windows 10: BSOD loop after unsuccessful update to Windows 10 Creator Update

Hi everyone,


recently I tried serveral ways to update my Windows 10 to the newest version. After trying using bootable USB created using Media Creation Tool, I encountered a serious issue - I am unable to boot to Windows - I am getting BSOD with SERVICE_CRITICAL_FAILURE error message. I am pretty sure that the update was a failure and some error must occured during reverting changes performed by Windows automatically.


I tried several ways of fixing this issue: I can't enter the Safe Mode, System Restore can't find any restore point, Start-Up Repair fails, Uninstall Updates can't uninstall anything, even Reset My PC encounteres an error after 1% of this process. I also tried to use DISM with /revertpendingactions and sfc /scannow - without success. I also checked the diskpart and realized that I have now additional partition named C: (previously this was my Windows partition - right now it is moved to partition F with the Boot directory - probably this was created during an update.


Do you have some idea what can I do to fix this issue? I would rather to restore my Windows then reinstalling it from scratch.


Thanks in advance!

:)

 

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.

 

Disk bloat in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

Is it my imagination, or does the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update consume an additional 20-30GB of disk space over the previous Creators Update release? Unfortunately, I didn't log my disk usage before the upgrade, but now my C: drive has 56GB of stuff, and I know it wasn't anywhere near that full before. I've run "Disk Cleanup -> Clean up system files" and selected everything on the list, including remove previous version of Windows. I also emptied my Recycle Bin, my Temp folder, \Windows\Temp folder, and \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder. Finally, I ran Wise Disk Cleaner to delete assorted application garbage.

Has anyone else noticed the bloat in Fall Creators Update?
