Windows 10: Latest Windows Update broke my laptop

The latest windows update (1903 i believe) caused such a mess on my PC that I was forced to reimage the laptop yet again.

1. I was unable to access the settings panel because it kept crashing. Tried multiple online suggestions on resetting the settings app to no avail.

2. The update disabled my VMWare installation, so I had to inset the Core protection.

3. Since the settings panel kept crashing there was no way for me to get to the core protection screen to turn off core and memory protection so vmware can run.

4. had to reimage the machine again.


AT this point I'm so exhausted trying to keep windows stable that I'm ready to give up.

I can;t keep any files on the machine because I probably will have to hard reset the device on the next update.


I'm done.

The rest of the office has moved to Mac, i am the lone hold out.

I installing Linux.


Goodbye windows. it was a nice 30 year run, but you're too unstable for the office environment anymore.

Latest Windows 10 update broke my laptop

My HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1047tx laptop running Windows 10 Home received major Windows updates recently and then the following developments happened in the last 2 days:

• my wifi kept getting disconnected every 2 minutes even after troubleshooting;
• then BSOD error: THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (restarting my laptop in a loop);
• followed by BSOD error code: 0xc0000017 saying "There isn't enough memory available to create a ramdisk device".

I was no longer able to boot Windows after that, not even in Safe Mode.

Every step of the way, I have tried to fix the problem using suggestions from Microsoft Community. I reset network adapters, reinstalled network drivers, reinstalled display drivers, checkdisk, bcdedit, whatever I could find online. I finally got tired
of all the troubleshooting and decided to do a clean install using an ESD-USB I created with Media Creation Tool.

Unfortunately, it didn't help. I'm still in a THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER hell loop and with Recovery message saying "It looks like Windows didn't load correctly". I tried to troubleshooting via Command Prompt (bcedit, chkdisk again) and even reinstalled
a couple of times but i'm still stuck.

And now I'm not sure what else I can try. Is there still hope or am I now being forced to get a new laptop?

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
