Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

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.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply and update.

Your efforts to work on this issue is very much appreciated.

Suggest you to reinstall the USB drivers on the pc and restart the system to check if that helps.

Follow these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and click on Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
  
• 
  Right-click on Universal Serial Bus controllers’ node, and click Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart the system and allow the computer to reinstall the USB controllers.
  

Once all the USB Controllers are installed, connect the device again.

Fresh restart of PC, now OS gone, how to reinstall using USB

The USB/Disk you insert to install an operating system should be bootable i.e. the BIOS should be able to find the file on your USB/Disk and initiate the boot.

It may have happened that the USB your prepared is not bootable.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Make a bootable USB of Windows from the ISO using a program "Boot Camp Assistant" on mac. Follow the guide here: How to create a Windows 10 installer USB drive from a Mac | Windows Central
   
2. Insert USB in your PC and start it.
   
   • If you see 'press any key to boot from USB" then, press any key and windows installer will load.
     
   • If you don't see it, Go to your system BIOS settings, and change the order of boot devices. Keep USB at the top. -> Save changes and restart.
     

Now, to follow the instructions/steps on screen and windows will guide your throughout the installation process.
