    Update 1803 failed - leaves machine unusable

    Thanks again for trying to help, but could I suggest that asking for pictures of every step you ask to be taken and then responding by saying there are too many to go through, is just going to cause frustration.
    Better to say that you don't know how to fix a problem than lead someone on a wild goose chase.

  3. Weird Noise after Anniversary Update

    Hello John,

    Let’s check what is causing that weird sound on your laptop.

    Based on the link that you had provided, it seems that it’s either your CPU fan or Hard drive which is creating that sound.

    If it’s the CPU fan, it might be an issue due to heavy processing, processor heating up or changes made during the update. If it’s your Hard drive, the issue might be with HDD performance. We suggest you to back up all your data to your external drive
    to prevent data loss.

    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:

    Step 1: Check your Task Manager

    Close all applications and check in task manager for any high usage of resources by any process.

    • Press Ctrl + Shift+ Esc together to open task manager.
    • Click on more details and check for any apps that is taking more resources.
    • Take note of any Applications that are taking High CPU usages and try to disable it if it’s not that important.
    Step 2: Start your computer in Safe Mode

    Safe mode will start computer with basic drivers to check what might be causing the issue in normal functioning of computer. Check if the weird sounds are still happening.

    Start computer in Safe Mode

    Step 3: Run Hardware and Device troubleshooter

    • Press Windows + W, and type troubleshooting.
    • From the search list, click on troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane click on view all to get the list.
    • Click on hardware and devices troubleshooter.
    • Follow the on screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting.
    Hardware and device troubleshooter is an inbuilt troubleshooter that will find the issues with hardware devices and try to fix them automatically.

    Let us know what happens.

    Weird Overclock

    This is not weird in any way. 1600MHz idle is normal for i7 3770K, it's called Speed Step. The CPU will not stay at the max turbo speed or over clock unless under load.
