Windows 10: Windows 10 update crashes to "Undoing changes made to your computer" screen

My computer will spontaneously restarts during usage and begin an update , which completes fine and then goes to the "this will take a while" update screen to which it gets to around 20% before crashing and shutting off the device, upon turning it on it briefly displays a message "Attempting to recover installation" and then switches to "Undoing changes made to your computer" , this take around 30 mins to an hour, and then boots up as if nothing had happened but the update does not complete, this has only really been an issue for a couple months, it's a fairly low-end HP device, however

Window Update Undoing changes made to your computer issue

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, pleas reply with the details requested below:

• Do you receive any error message after Windows update?
  
• May I know after which update do you see this message?
  
• When you say, “this message appear about half and hour" does the computer boot to the desktop?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

If the computer doesn’t boot to the Desktop, I would suggest you to refer the suggestions provided by DaveM121 replied on April 7, 2019 in the thread

'Undoing changes made to your computer' in Windows 10.



If you are able to boot the computer to the Desktop, I would suggest you to run the

Windows Update Troubleshooter and see if that helps.



If the issue persists, I would suggest you to reset Windows Update components. Kindly refer the article by Sumit on

How to:Reset Windows update components in Windows.



You may also want to refer the steps mentioned in the article
Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10.



Note: While performing chkdsk on the hard drive if any bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk tries to repair that sector if any data available on that might be lost. Also, the last step in the article
talks about Clean installation, please do not perform a clean installation of Windows.



Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you.

undoing changes to your computer windows 10

Have Lenovo Ideapad 100s. After trying to update windows 10 to 1903 far as I remember it went to black screen saying "Undoing changes made to your computer... Nothing helps to abandon this stuck screen. Consequently, windows makes reboot attempts but
over again goes back to the same black screen reading ”Undoing changes made to your computer...

Tried hard shut down to enter the safe mode but nothing ever helps.

Please advise how to fix the issue.



Thank you.
