Windows 10: Latest Windows Update 1903 - Windows 10 Pro

Hello,


Recently I was notified of a new Windows 10 Update, I accepted it to download and install, upon its installation the computer needed to reboot, when shutting down, blue screen IRQL blah blah blah



Upon restarting my computer manually, I was fortunate that windows reverted back to pre 1903 however now each time I was to shutdown my Windows 10 does not completely shutdown, instead it just freezes.


I've done some online research into windows 10 and blue screens, in doing that, I wiped my C drive and did a clean install of windows 10 Pro ensuring all drivers were from the manufactures, removed all USB devices and rebooted into safe mode etc etc etc... nothing seems to fix my windows problem.


Windows has not stored or saved any Mini dump files or folders for me to show you, I have included my specs to show you my PC is new.


The Windows memory scan tool, tries to reboot my PC then it freezes, so it can never actually do a scan.



Here are my system specs;

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

And, some info from the FAQ page:

Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:

 

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
