Windows 10: Windows 10 Spring 2018 update fails left system inoperable.

This is the second time that Windows 10 Spring 2018 has trashed my computer. After the first time, I thought I had disabled Windows 10 from updating. Over the past 5 months Windows 10 has tried to update and crashed every single time. The update freezes at about 83%. After hard power off (hold power button for 6 seconds) It reboots and attempts to continue and freezes again. By freezing I mean CAPS Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock LEDs no longer toggle and the computer just sets there. One time I left it for 5 hours no change. I hard power off again and the system reboots and tries to restore the previous image and failed. It left the computer unbootable.


bootrev /fixboot fails with access denied

bootrec /scanos Says Total identified Windows installations: 0

bootrec /rebuildbcd says Total identified Windows installations: 0


I tried the bcdedit step to save the old bcd file and the attrib step to change file permissions and ren bcd bcd_old steps. Followed by another /rebuildbcd step with reported 0 windows installations found.


I get a BSOD with 0xc000000f error.


I know Windows is there. D:\Windows exists and looks to be intact.


I can't seem to get this system to boot. How can I fix it without a clean wipe. I can't afford a clean wipe. The system was working just fine before Windows 10 attempted a failed update.


I am downloading the Spring Update iso hoping that it will help resolve the issue.

I really need to get this computer to boot without loosing all the data.

And I need to permenantly disable the Windows 10 update since it has failed more than 15 times and has trashed my computer twice. Evidently my computer hw is not compatibly with the automated update of Windows 10.

Next Major Windows 10 Update Named "Spring Creators Update"

The next Windows 10 service pack major update has been named "Spring Creators Update." Windows Insider Program users toying with Build 17618 of the operating system spotted a listing of all the major updates of Windows 10 known to the build, when running "Get-VMHostSupportedVersion" in Power Shell. The last entry reads "Microsoft Windows 10 Spring Creators Update 1803." The version number (1803 in this case), often coincides with the public release date of the update. The Fall Creators Update 1709, released in 2017-09 (September) to Insiders. Going by that convenion, Spring Creators Update could see a "branded" Insider preview build this month, 2018-03 (March), with a public release usually 3-4 weeks after, presumably before Summer kicks in.

 

Spring 2018 Update for Windows 10

I tried installing the Spring 2018 Update for Windows 10 a week ago on my Lenovo laptop. It restarted and went to a black screen with the circle indicating it was trying to load but didn't. I tried System Restore after booting from Windows 10 iso. That
did not work. I tried several Recovery options that would not work. I ended up doing a clean install with all the Updates up to the Spring 2018 Update. I set it to try the install again in a week. I have tried to make sure all of my drivers esp. the video
driver was up to date as recommended earlier. Has there been any word on whether that bug has been fixed before I try the install again? Thanks.
