    Why did Windows update just ask me to reinstall Windows 11???


    Just got an update today and after the updater restarted my computer, I get a lovely Windows installer menu!?!?I could not boot to Windows but yet it wants me to reinstall Windows all over again!!!So, I did. And NOW!I could get into settings after Windows finish installing. But now I can't.I could get into the Start menu but now I can't.Right clicking on the Taskbar to get the Task Manger is gone.Wow just WOW! You broke Windows all over again and again.

    :)

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    Windows Update suddenly hangs?

    Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

    I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

    Why did Windows update just ask me to reinstall Windows 11???

    Windows updates won't install!

    I had the same problem when i repaired my O/S, i forgot the steps on how to fixed it, but it is in the microsoft support forum.

    You have to reinstall the windows updater, then restart the updating service.
