Windows 10: PC attempts to update, PC fails to pass splash screen, updates roll back

Just as title screen says.


On the "Update & Security" tab on Control Panel, it says: You’re currently running a version of Windows that’s nearing the end of service. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 to get the latest features and security improvements.


I just bought Windows 10 Pro as I thought that it may be a license key issue. I never received a key and have a neat "Windows 10 Pro" on my OS build, but apparently still running a Windows version that has past its life cycle. Please help.

Desktop PC boots to black screen after ASUS BIOS update

After searching around Google, I came upon a post where somebody experienced a similar issue and managed to fix it by simply doing the following:

1. Force the PC to shut down
   
2. Unplug the power cord from the PSU for 20-30 seconds; enough so that there's no dormant power left over
   
3. For good measure, if your motherboard/CPU has embedded graphics, temporarily connect your monitor to that instead of your GPU
   
4. Plug the power cord back in and then boot the system
   

Some notes:

• This is strictly for desktop PCs (not laptops). If you're on a laptop,
  you might need to disconnect both the power adapter and the battery
  to completely shut it down
  
• If your system was not bricked because of the BIOS update, you should see a
  message on the screen stating that the BIOS update is resuming, and
  that you should not cut the power to the PC
  
• If the BIOS update was successful, your PC will restart again to a
  vanilla POST screen (not the splash screen) and you will need to
  press F1 here and to set everything in the BIOS back to your own
  
  preferences again
  
• From what I can tell, the BIOS update did succeed after the
  
  flash in the BIOS, but the installation simply glitched out and
  failed to complete the remaining steps after restarting
  

Some things I should've done before I updated my BIOS:

• Saved a copy of my BIOS configurations to a .CMO file in a USB drive
  
• Reset my BIOS settings to default before the update
  

 

Windows Update keeps failing!

I have the exact same problem, I don't wanna hijack this thread so I will be brief........ One day about 10 days ago, out of the blue I started up my PC and Windows 7 failed to boot, I got to the Windows logo but then an error message telling me that there was no active user profile available, after several attempts at safe mode, Windows boot CD and the recovery console I gave up and did a complete fresh install onto my SSD.

Once I had loaded all my drivers etc, I started update.... on first pass update downloaded 14 updates, restarted the PC, installed them and all was well, it then automatically went into update mode again and downloaded 83 updates (my version is pre SP1), since then after about 25 attempts it has been unable on restart to configure the updates and automatically "reverts" back, I have just got to the point that I have disabled updates completely.
