    Windows 10 Security Update Failed


    Applied a Windows Security update today and the system was pretty sluggish after that. Restarted the system and now it will not reboot. Tried using restore features and it says the hard drive is locked. Tried looking for the drive in the command prompt and it is missing and noticed it also no longer shows up in the bios. This system was fine before the automatic security update so what do I do now? It has all of my research for my dissertation on it and many papers I have been working on. There are backups elsewhere but they are not as up to date as the ones currently and hopefully still on this computer.

    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
