Windows 10: Today's Update Broke Me & My OS

Currently at +4 hours and counting for shutdown time. I will leave it on over night to see if a proper shut down changes anything. If it shuts down.

 

I'm thinking uninstalling the update would fix the issue but the problem is... Windows won't let the update be uninstalled

 

Just did a Clean Boot, no change...still happens so that tells us it is 100% a MS issue. Thanks MS

Just uninstalled all the Mar 15th and 14th updates in safe mode.
Will see what we get here.

 

And.....no change!
Same stink different pile *Mad

 

How did you manage to uninstall from safe mode?

 

Well there are a few updates that allow you to uninstall.
The major one does not, most likely due to the fact that it could mess up your system hence a system restore would be the route you would take in that instance but that doesn't work so that update, which is our culprit, remains.

It is gonna really suck having to do a reformat, sure it will be nice to have a clean slate but installing all my Adobe software, putting presets back in, mail set up and download etc etc.

Been at this all day troubleshooting so I think a reformat is the next step followed by installing all updates and making sure everything works before reinstalling all my stuff.

 

Oh i feel you, been at this for a while. Gonna try a few more things and if it doesn't work i'm probably gonna head down that route too. I'll keep you posted.

 

10-4 man, after doing a clean boot and disabling ALL programs minus MS ones and still getting this issue, we know whose fault this is. *Rolleyes

 

Well all seems good!
Didn't do a full format but rather a refresh, wiped all files and all is running great.
Better than before for a lot of my apps and everything is up to date with no conflicts or issues.

 

What do you mean by refresh? I'm trying to figure out if theres a way not to wipe everything? Did you just reinstall from a usb/disc. Have you also reinstalled the update?

 

This is the update in the 15th that followed the major one on the 14th; I thought it might influence the installation.
Here it is.

 

Well there is an option in settings to do a wipe for personal use or if you are recycling the PC.
I chose to not keep files or do a low level wipe and refresh but instead deleted files and did a normal refresh.
It essentially resets Win 10 and ditches your files without a low level format, you will not need a USB stick, DVD, or your key to do this.

 

Check out the end of this question feed. I think they found the solution. Currently trying it out

Yeah that is an older solution but not a fix.
Still a lot of work...I was going to do that yesterday afternoon but if I am moving those files anyway I would rather move to back up and do reset on OS so it is totally clean.
Bort in that thread is me lol.
