Windows 10: Laptops Wiping After Updates

There seems to be an issue where randomly when our employees have a windows update, after the update finishes, their profile seems to be deleted and recreated. Everything is synced to dropbox so there is no loss of files.There is no temporary profile. We're on a domain and they all have domain logins. Every time it happens C:\Users shows the correct profile and nothing is hidden.It doesn't seem to be tied to a specific update as it's been happening over many months. There is no trace of a second profile in the registry.It's as if the profile is a fresh login.I've seen posts about restarting mu

W10 wiped my son's laptop

Hi Debbie,

It is possible that your son is unable to open his laptop while updating due to a corrupted or incomplete installation. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

• Is your son, getting an error message when he tried to turn on his laptop?
• When he tried to open his laptop, are you able to check if the power light stays on?
• Are you seeing black screen/blank screen when you tried to turn on his laptop?
• What troubleshooting steps has your son done so far to resolve it?

Meanwhile, if you're seeing a blank screen/black screen, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
article on how to troubleshoot black screen errors. You can choose which best describes your issue.

Keep us posted if you need additional help.

 

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.
