Windows 10: Critical Update 1/15/2020?

I received a pop-up in Windows gold Box saying that I needed to restart my computer for the latest critical update for Windows. Now I cannot boot from my recovery usb. It does not repair anything. From the list of restore points, one was listed as a critical update today. I cannot restore anything. I cannot uninstall the updates because it says it has not finished the update. Not sure where to go from here?

Critical Structure Corruption Windows 10

I keep getting this error "Critical Structure Corruption" and can't seem to fix it.

It happens while I am busy on my laptop. Here are some of the steps I have tried so far to resolve this with no success.

1. Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic = no problems so RAM looks good.
   
2. Check The CPU with Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool = PASS all
   
3. Drivers update, I used driver booster and did need to update 18 drivers but was able to update with no issues.
   
4. Update software and drivers, well it was suggested that I update BlueStacks but the update failed, bluestacks mentioned that it might be an issue so as I do not use the tool I uninstalled the software altogether.
   
5. Updated Windows, this I do regularly and automatically so no big updates were missed.
   
6. Defragged the machine - system is optimized
   
7. Ran anti-virus check and all's good
   
8. Ran CCleaner
   

Now I might mention I'm not a super user, but I'm able to follow suggestions quite well.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
