Windows 10: Update Reboots without Warning

The Windows 10 operating system needs an internet connection to function at its best.This means that all updates are downloaded and installed at random times, as soon as they are made available; and the installation is followed by a reboot.This reboot could take place without warning, interrupting or even terminating the process you were busy with, sometimes even resulting in loss of data which is massively inconvenient, as well as annoying.Am i the only one in this situation or there are more people involved ?

windows 10 reboots without warning

The article that you suggested be looked at applies to versions of windows prior to the one that I am having an issue with.

The version that keeps rebooting without warning and without any error message is this latest version, (windows 10) and this started to happen about several updates ago.

There has been no additional software added to this unit since that update or since windows 10 was installed on this unit.

There were no crashes like this prior to that update with this version of windows and the currently installed software.

Windows 10 was working just fine until then.

Because your updates are not readily visible to the end user, it is only a guess as to which one seems to be at the root of this issue.

There is a possibility that this is a hardware failure with a memory chip, however diagnostics have indicated that there is no issues with any of the installed hardware.

What is next on your list?

 

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!

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

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 Best regards.


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