  1. Reset and update


    This is a 3 part question.


    1) So i have been having issues with my computer restarting on its own with no warning due to "power loss", according to my event viewer; and also BSOD with a multitude of error codes all of which point to drivers or my ram. i have tried every diagnostic program and routine that i can think of, to no avail of detecting what the route cause of the bsod and random restarts are. and yes i have checked my power supply and had it changed to a new one and had only bsod's for a week before both issues returned. is there any way that i can detect the cause of the issue?


    2) i also have been having trouble updating my windows to 1903. i am currently running 1803 but when every the install is complete and i get the prompt to restart my computer it just restarts with no changes to the os build. what could be going on with it?


    3) with the reset feature if i select "remove files and clean the drives" does that mean that i will need a clean copy of windows to install off or does it mean that it is reset to when i first installed windows 10 onto my pc?


    any help with any of the issues is appreciated.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Reset and update :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    Thanks,

    The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

    The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:
    Try these steps one at time until the issue is resolved or you run out of steps.

    Is Windows activated?
    No? Activate Windows 10

    Launch Command Prompt (Admin)
    enter the following line
    reg query HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /s
    If DisableWindowsUpdateAccess REG_DWORD 0x1

    launch regedit
    navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
    change the value of DisableWindowsUpdateAccess to 0
    exit regedit
    exit Command Prompt

    Launch Windows Update
