  1. The old freeze issue after updates with a twist


    So... It's been maybe a couple of years since this one, I'm running a Windows tablet, it's unbranded. The common i believe was fairly common, people updated, pc would boot and login ok but would freeze a moment later. Easy fix was roll back the update from the login screen however i decided i didn't want to see login so i set it to skip login and go straight to desktop.

    In recovery options i tried resetcomes back with simply 'there was a problem'. And i think i tried most options i could find to no avail.


    On my previous hours of trying i found that the os was possibly a combination of eufi? And ???legacyit's been a long time so struggled to find an iso of the os i could install.


    Wonder if anybody can advise, feel like I'm getting nowhere, thanks for any attempts.

    P.s. my bios is asking for a password... It never did that before, surely i want stupid enough to set that... Oil try to get into it in the mean time.


    Regrettably i struggle to get system specs for to freeze.

    I can basically access recovery options, and i did on previous attempts bit boot an iso, so fingers crossed i can get into bios soon.


    Love

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    User.000 issue after updating to 1909

    I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

    After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
    One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

    I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:
    • Rebooted at least 6 times
    • Enabled hidden Administrator
    • Booted into Safe Mode
    • Changed ProfileImagePath
    • Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
    • Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
    • Rebooted and had temporary profile
    • Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
    • Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
    • Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
    • After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
    • Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    The old freeze issue after updates with a twist

    Updater freezes while downloading

    Hi,

    There are a lot of
    reasons why your Windows Update freezes. However, one common issue that causes this is
    having a corrupted system file. We suggest that you run the
    Update troubleshooter
    to fix it automatically. To run the Windows Update Troubleshooter, follow
    these steps:


    • On the
      search bar, type Troubleshooting.

    • Choose
      System and Security.

    • Under
      Windows, click on
      Windows Update
      to run the troubleshooter.

    If the issue persists, follow these methods in fixing Windows Update:

    Method 1:
    Run SFC Scan.

    To run an
    SFC scan, follow these steps:


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.

    • Type
      sfc /scannow
      and hit
      Enter.

    This will check and run an auto-repair on the issue.

    Method 2:
    Run DISM Tool.

    DISM
    tool
    will check the system's health and will try restoring the missing and corrupted files. To
    run the DISM
    tool, follow these steps:


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator.

    • Type the following command:

      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /scanhealth

      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    NOTE:
    This might take a
    while to finish scanning.
    Do not cancel.

    Method 3:

    After doing
    Method 1
    and
    Method 2
    but the issue still persist, you can
    manually reset the Windows Update Components and Run Windows Update process again.

    Resetting
    Windows Update Components
    will fix those corrupted Components and will help the Update installation quickly. To reset
    Windows Update Components, follow these steps:


    • Run
      Command Prompt as Administrator

    • Stop
      BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and Windows Update Services. To do this,
      type the following command:

      • Net stop wuauserv

      • Net stop cryptSvc

      • Net stop bits

      • Net stop msiserver

    • Rename
      SoftwareDistribution
      and
      Catroot2
      folder. To do this, type the following commands:

      • Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

      • Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

    • Restart
      BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and Windows Update Services. To do this,
      type the following commands:

      • Net start wuauserv

      • Net start cryptSvc

      • Net start bits

      • Net start msiserver

      • Restart
        your computer and try to
        install Windows Update.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
