After a very short power cut I am unable to access desktop

Hi David,

Improper shutting down of the computer or forcefully turning off your device might cause some issue on the system. While the computer is shutting down, the system automatically applies updates and the changes made on the computer.

In your case, there's a possibility that some updates being applied or other system activities have been interrupted by the power cut. Let us sort the issue by answering these questions:

• When you say "power cut", does it mean power outage or the computer was accidentally unplugged from the power source?
  
• Are you still able to boot your computer normally?
  
• What error messages are you getting?
  
• What are you working with before your computer shuts down?

A screenshot would also help us to identify the issue.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you boot your computer in Safe mode and check if the issue persists. To do this, follow the steps provided on this

link.

Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.

 

PC update interrupted itself now cannot boot

I didn't suggest that it fried my motherboard. I suggested that running it with an underpowered PSU did, however.

I've already tried those steps, unfortunately

Thanks for your time

 

computer won't boot but has power

Kursah, that 6 steps are granted it always boots at the 6th step (sometimes at the 4th) and I have to remove the ethernet cable every time otherwise I'll have to do countless steps, that's a fact. I do not have Wake On Lan set.
