    Followed a Windows 10 update reset tutorial - computer won't boot


    I'm going to try and keep the story short.

    I am using the Windows Insider preview 20.04

    I followed a tutorial on how to reset the windows 10 update (I'm sure it's nothing to do with the method, just my system didn't like it)

    I downloaded the reg file, and then it was flagged out by my anti virus that a virus has been deleted so i disabled the anti virus and tried to download it again. The Microsoft edge smart screen removed it so i used Firefox instead and downloaded and installed it, followed the procedure as described and pressed the key as recommended to restart and from there it never came back, the computer doesn't want to boot up - no bleeping sound.

    This is what I've done since - I unplugged all devices connected and I removed all the memory sticks and left just one, I then disconnected the hard drive and all other cards except the graphics card but nothing happened - no posting or bleeping, I did clear the CMOS but still no posting.

    Is the motherboard gone? Or is there anything I can do to investigate further?

    I forgot to mention that all the fans are working and the light on the motherboard are on. The motherboard is ASUS Z170 pro gaming Intel i5 and I have 16GB of ram.

    Please help!

    :)

    Windows 10 fails to update


    Thanks,

    The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

    The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:
    Try these steps one at time until the issue is resolved or you run out of steps.

    Is Windows activated?
    No? Activate Windows 10

    Launch Command Prompt (Admin)
    enter the following line
    reg query HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /s
    If DisableWindowsUpdateAccess REG_DWORD 0x1

    launch regedit
    navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
    change the value of DisableWindowsUpdateAccess to 0
    exit regedit
    exit Command Prompt

    Launch Windows Update

    Try the next suggestion if the issue is not resolved.

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    I can't get update KB3035583 on my windows 7 SP1 laptop, also I was missing the optional language packs updates, I have tried "resetting" windows updates Windows Update - Reset - Windows 7 Help Forums and I have tried stopping and restarting the windows update service, did not help.
    Would anyone have a suggestion on how to get this KB3035583 update? It's genuine windows 7 SP1 home premium.

    Edit: Is this windows 10 upgrade only for people who bought (a computer with) windows 7 SP 1?
    I bought this laptop with windows 7.
