Windows 10: Why do Microsoft inadvertently brick PCs?

'Recently' the update 1903 came out to the OS and its apparently great. Issue is, people that were unlucky to be greeted by the error that it failed to download, are unable to use any Microsoft apps. When I was unable to install the update, I couldnt use the Xbox (app) to download any games or apps.


I cannot express how frustrated I am. As i wanted to be able to download games and apps to my PC but because i haven't updated the pc, I was unable to use it properly.


Heres the thing, I had access to the internet so I did what I thought was right. PSA: Do not use other websites as I did. There was one website i used that stated to turn off the Microsoft setting and switch them back on after. It may fix the issue, but it didn't and it made it worse.


In the end I got the stop error for the config. And cannot do anything about it. I cant reset the computer as it just aborts at 62%, cant use cmd, cant use system recovery and now i cant use a system image recovery. I cannot use safe mode because they all end with blue screens.

There needs to be a patch like an actual functioning patch, cause its it

itw rediculous.

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

How do I DISassociate a file type in Windows 10?

I inadvertently associated a .lst file to open using my Adobe reader. I have followed all the steps you suggested and deleted everything listed. It still shows that Adobe is the default app to use with the file. Any other suggestions?
