    Windows 10 crashed after update and is now unbootable


    A 32-bit Windows 10 1803 installation crashed yesterday afternoon, apparently when an update went awry. Afterwards, attempting to boot results in an Automatic Repair which always fails. I used a recovery command prompt to chkdsk /r /x, which found some corrupted files, and sfc /scannow, which found no problems. Still, it won't boot.

    I have tried using restore points from the recovery console command prompt, to no avail. (The restore point fails when restoring the registry, with an error code of 0x80070002.)

    Is there any other recourse short of reinstallation? Is Windows 10 really this fragile that a single update can render it unusable?

    :)

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

    • Did you get any error messages when the roll back stopped?

    Windows 10 crashed after update and is now unbootable

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
