Windows 10: Win10 Update Broke My Computer

Hello! I am writing this after days of failed fix attempts.

If you do not have enough time, skip to the important part (after this paragraph).

It started a few days ago, after I updated my computer, I never realized it a few hours in. My computer kept freezing, I assumed it was simply my computer having a rough time. After a few hours, I realized that my computer was extremely slow. I then realized my Nvidia graphics card is just gone. From there I realized that the search bar in the taskbar and in file explorer does not work. No big deal, just revert version right? Reverting versions, resetting PC, etc. do not work. I've tried absolutely everything except factory reset (which I am not ready to do, as I do not want to back up my files for it to simply not work again). From what I know, this Windows update was setting my PC up for the next update. So I also attempted to update Windows again, I get errors as well. I've tried updating in the settings panel, I've tried updating with Windows Media Creator, I've tried updating with Windows Update Assistant, all of them fail. I've encountered dozens of more problems that make my computer almost unusable. Here are the following broken things so far:

- Computer Freezes Extremely Often
- Random BSODs
- nVIDIA graphics card is missing
- Computer is extremely slow
- Random Applications crash
- Control Panel is blank
- Searchbar for taskbar, settings, and file explorer don't work
- Reverting / Resetting Windows doesn't work
- Updating Windows doesn't work
- Tried Media Creator
- Windows Update Assistant
- Updating from the Settings panel
- Updating from ISOs in catalog.update.microsoft.com

There's uncountably more, and I really need help. Does anyone have suggestions?

I am currently on Windows 2004, I believe the update that caused this problem is KB4577266.
I believe that it is attempting to update to KB4579311.

Windows 10 Upgrade
According to this list, your PC isn't on Acer's approved list for Win 10. Could you check that?

This is an older PC which came with Win 7. Have you ever clean installed Win 10 on it?

• AMD Athlon II X2 255 Dual Core Processor
• Windows 7 Professional
• 2GB DDR3 RAM
• 320GB HDD
• DVD Rewriter
• Integrated Graphics
• PS.VB1E3.082

We can only proceed step by step.

So chkdsk and SFC /Scannow are ok. But any attempt to reset your PC or run DISM fails.

Is this what you tried? I'm not 100% clear what the above means. Clean install or this procedure?

If you tried this, it's possible it failed as you need (it seems) some 500Mb of unallocated space on your hard disk.

 

Windows 10 update broke my computer?

One of the possible reasons why your PC fails to boot into normal mode are broken components on the boot configuration data of your system. To isolate your concern, we suggest that you perform the following steps to trigger Safe Mode through the Windows
Recovery Environment (WinRE) option. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Improper shutdown process
• Turn on your computer. When the Windows logo is visible, unplug the power source of your computer. Perform this step three times.
  
• On the fourth time that you turn on your computer, just simply wait for the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) window to appear.
  
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click Restart.
  
• Once your computer restarts, you will see a list of options. Press the F4 key to start your computer in Safe Mode.

We also recommend that you perform a system restore after booting in safe mode. This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore
point was made. To do this, follow the steps below:

• In the Search box, type Control Panel and press Enter.
• On the upper-right window, under View by, click Category and select Large icons.
  
• Search Control Panel for Recovery.
• Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
• Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.

Let us know if the solution above works for you.
