    Problems with going back to previous build.


    I was stuck in an infinite repair loop of troubleshoot. Tried all options and the only one that worked was "go back to previous build" that was 10 hours ago. Still waiting with that message on the screen. Loaded windows 10 worked for 5 minutes then when I tried to execute an application it went into the repair loop.

  2. going back to previous build issues

    Assuming Windows 10 64-bit is still installed...

    Please answer each of the following [admittedly tedious] diagnostic questions in a correspondingly-numbered list in your very next reply, preferably
    without quoting this post:

    1. When (approx. date) did you purchase the computer?

    2a. When (exact date, preferably) did you first upgrade to Win10?

    2b. Was that upgrade offered & installed via Windows Update or did you use the Media Creation Tool & ISO download?

    2c. When did you rollback to Win8.1?

    3a. When (exact date, preferably) did you last upgrade to Win10?

    3b. Was the last upgrade offered & installed via Windows Update or did you use the Media Creation Tool & ISO download?

    3c. What problems have you encountered that you think might be resolved by rolling-back to Win8.1 again?

    4a. What is the full name of your currently-installed third-party anti-virus application or security suite - i.e.,
    not Windows Defender! - (if any), and when (approx. date) does your current subscription
    (if any) expire?

    4b. What third-party anti-virus application (if any) was installed on the Win8.1 computer before you first upgraded to Win10?

    5. What third-party anti-malware applications (i.e., not Windows Defender!) are currently installed, if any? What third-party firewall, if any?

    6. Has a(nother) Norton application or a McAfee application EVER been installed on the computer since you bought it?

    7. Did a Norton free-trial or a McAfee free-trial [pick one] come preinstalled on the computer
    when you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.)

    8. Is KB3124263 or KB3124266 [PICK ONE] listed in Installed Updates
    (not Update History)? [1]

    9. Is Adobe Flash Player v20.0.0.272 installed? TEST HERE USING INTERNET EXPLORER OR EDGE ONLY =>

    Example of the Version Info box on that page

    (ignore the table below it)

    10. Is Firefox (version 43.0.4 or higher) and/or Google Chrome (version 48.0.2564.82 or higher) or any other alternate browser installed?

    11. Are you in the habit of using "registry cleaners" (e.g., CCleaner's Registry Cleaner component; Comodo System Cleaner; Advanced SystemCare; Advanced System Optimizer; Glary Utilities; McAfee QuickClean; AVG PC TuneUp; Norton Registry Cleaner;
    Norton PC Tuneup; PCTools Optimiser; PC Doctor; Registry Mechanic; RegCure; RegClean Pro; Registry Booster; SpeedUpMyPC; System Mechanic; TuneUp Utilities; WinMaximizer; WinSweeper; Wise Care 365; Wise Cleaner)?
