Windows 10: Failed windows update for Windows10 Home 64 bit since December 2019....What to do.

error nos : 0x80070003, 0x800f0831,0x8024001e,0x800f0809

:)

 

December 2019 Patch Tuesday, Windows 7 64 bit has potentially corrupted MBR.

I've had the same issue with two 64 bit Windows 7 systems that I patched this month with December 2019 patches. I was able to fix the issue and get the device to boot by booting to a Windows 7 repair disc that I created on another Windows 7 64 bit system.
Windows 7 32 bit doesn't seem to be affected.

I am holding out on patching anymore with December's patches until I can verify that it is working correctly.

Windows 10 64 bit to 32 bit

Hi Colin,

Thank you, I have tried performing a clean install on my laptop however getting an error - winload.efi (Status: 0xc0000359 error).

I have searched on internet for this and have tried few things but still keep getting this error.

These are the steps I have performed:

1) Laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8.1 Home Single Language (64 bit); I have upgraded it to Windows 10 Home Single Edition (64-bit).

2) Downloaded the media creation tool - 64 bit from Download Windows 10

3) Successfully created a USB installation media from above and opted to install both 32-bit and 64 bit in USB.

When I try to boot from USB now using 32-bit architecture and try to install Windows I get an error right after it shows screen loading files (before the page to select language option)- Windows failed to start...

File: \Windows\System32\boot\winload.efi

Status: 0xc0000359

Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains error.

I do not get above error if I choose 64-bit option to install Windows and able to see language selection page (cancelled the setup at this stage since I want to install 32-bit Windows).

Can you suggest if I am doing something wrong and how I can resolve above issue in order to install 32-bit Windows on my laptop.

I have got Toshiba Satellite Pro R50-B; i3 5th generation/ 4GB RAM in case system configuration is needed.

Any help on above would be appreciated.

Thanks

AJ
