Windows 10: Windows 10 Shutdown Issue After 1903 Update

Hi All,


I am currently using Windows 10 version 1803 on my desktop PC.


I have tried updating to versions 1809, 1903 and 1909.


During the update process the computer restarts (which I know is normal and expected), however it just shuts down instead of restarting. When I turn the PC back on, I get the message saying "undoing changes made to your computer" and I end up back with version 1803.


I have tried:-

Uninstalling my anti virus

Removing unecessary peripherals (printer, external hard drive, headphones)

Clean boot

Formatting and installing on a clean hard drive


Obviously now, Windows update is aggressively prompting me to update ... however if I do, I will lose all use of my PC.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Jim


edit to add:

I did once manage to upgrade to 1903 ... but as soon as I opened one of my game ... the PC shut down

:)

 

Local profile issue after upgrading to 1903

Hi roblinb

Not listed in the Known.

Known issues for Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903


As far as Wifi any chance it is Qualcom inside USB adapter, if Qualcom then yes known issue.


I might create another user (Local) and when if try again see if this issue occurs on both users.

Would also suggest you run the first 5 steps in this tutorial to see if you have any corruption with current build.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
