Windows 10: kb4497935 causes auto repair loop, safe-mode finally triggers update rollback

Using a Ryzen 2700x, x370 system, when kb4497935 tries to install, and reboot, it immediately fails to boot, triggers auto startup repair over and over, then I set it to boot in safe mode, where it said the update failed to install, rolls back

Boot loop after update no safe mode option-repair fails- restore fails


Last night around 9pm I noticed the pc was doing another update. Endless boot loop again. I ran through the steps from yesterday with one new result and it will not boot.

 

Stuck in auto repair loop

Hi Alex,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

If the screen is stuck for a long time on auto repair, I suggest you to restart the computer using power button and check. If the issue still persist, I suggest you to check if you are able to boot the computer into Safe Mode environment and check.

To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps:

• 
  Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
  
• 
  Select an option to “Safe mode with networking” using the arrow keys on the keyboard when the Windows Advanced Options menu
  appears, and then press ENTER.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if your issue is resolved. For any further query, feel free to contact us.

Thank you.

 

Safe mode initiating auto repair?


For the last 9+ months updates are giving me trouble. I keep getting these 0x80073712 errors for any cumulative or .NET updates. The last update I got on my system was KB4033637. I have tried SFC and DISM which both fail.

Today I decided to try SFC/DISM from safe mode. I was a little concerned because the last time I tried going into safe mode I did not realize my PIN would be disabled and I would need my MS account password, which I did not have. I had it this time however! I did the SHIFT-RESTART and went into troubleshooting/advance/startup and selected option 5. which is Safe Mode w/ Network support. What Windows does instead is puts me through an auto repair! Is that normal? Why would it do that when I specifically told it to boot to safe mode with network support?

After waiting 3+ hours for auto-repair (attempting to repair was spinning and the HD light was sold red but the HD was not doing anything) I reset my system and luckily I got back in.

Any insight why safe mode would do an auto-repair or any other tips on getting past these 0x80073712 errors would be appreciated.

Thanks!
