    Updates totally destroyed my laptop?


    Last month, it seemed I was getting Window updates every few days. Started getting error messages and took forever to get to my login screen so I contacted Microsoft Support. The rep I spoke to uninstalled windows and began to reinstall it. The next day it had not downloaded. Spoke to a second tech who also attempted to have it re-installed to no avail. At that point I was told my hard drive was corrupted - either I needed to have it repaired or replaced. Is it possible that the updates did damage such as this to my laptop?

    :)

    Cumulative Update KB4338819 Windows 10 v1803 Build 17134.165 - July 10

    This update totally destroyed me, which was not totally unexpected.

    I have noticed that update issues are fairly common occurrences.

    Microsoft must have a site that lists step by step actions that they want you to take when Windows 10 Updates and trashes a system?

    Does such a site exist? Where do I go to get help?

    Recovering Windows 10 After an Update

    Step 1:
    sfc /scannow

    Step 2:
    Dism

    Step 3:
    etc.. Uninstall Video Drivers and reinstall
