Windows 10: Going Back To Previous Windows 10 Version Disabled My PC

This is absolutely outrageous! Simply pressing Go Back to your previous Windows 10 version disabled my whole PC (after 10 minutes of "work"), with no possibility to restore Windows 10 and my installed programs, including some purchased programs.


Error Code - Your PC couldn't start properly 0xc0000225


There was no access to the Recovery Environment, i had to use Win 10 USB boot drive to enter it. But even from there, no recovery option worked, so now i have to make a new reinstall of Windows 10. This never happened before, everything always worked. How is this even possible? To use a Legitimate Microsoft Option only to see the whole installation gone. Is it even legal, to have a normal Windows option cause such damages? This is not acceptable.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Cannot go back to previous version of windows

I'm currently facing the issue that I can't restore the my previous installation of Windows. I did the following things:

• Try to "repair-install" Windows on top of Windows using the Media Creation Tool due to a few oddities I noticed. This failed due to the error "An unknown command-line option [/DynamicUpdate] was specified".
  
• Made an ISO using the Media Creation Tool and used that to "repair-install" Windows, or so I thought - apparently, doing it this way removes all your data and apps... (this is where it all started)
  
• Tried to go back to the previous version using the Settings app - no luck here, as the button was simply missing
  
• Made a image of the hard drive just so I can't mess up any more things
  
• Copy the contents of the Windows.old folder manually to their previous place (using robocopy to ensure that all attributes and permissions were copied properly) - This mostly worked, as in I got back into Windows and the data were where they should be, but I couldn't start most UWP apps or the start menu, so something must've gone wrong. (It is possible that I forgot to delete a folder before copying the old versions, but I didn't try this again)
  
• Convert the drive to GPT (previously MBR) - this was done because I noticed a few minor issues trying to boot in UEFI mode during the previous steps
  
• Reinstall Windows using a newly created installer USB stick
  
• Copy the Windows.old folder from the drive image onto the drive (again using robocopy)
  
• Try to roll back using the recovery mode of the installer USB - this fails with the error "We ran into a problem and won't be able to take you back to the previous version of Windows. Try resetting your PC instead" (which I obviously don't want to/already did) - there's no error code
  
• Rolling back from within Windows is still not possible
  

Any suggestions on how I could fix the problem? Where does the "We ran into a problem..." error come from?

 

"Go back to previous version of windows".

I see a lot of people suggesting that to uninstall a new version of windows 10, the path is: Settings\update & security\recovery\go back to previous version of windows. That option is not available to me when I go to recovery. Why is that?
