  1. Windows fails to boot after attempting to update Windows 10.


    Main Issue

    Whenever I try to update Windows 10, the laptop begins installing the update, then when it restarts to continue installing the update, I can see the windows logo with the spinning dots, however when this disappears the screen stays on a black screen. I have tried plugging in an external monitor, with no success, and no key combinations seem to work either. This has been happening ever since I updated to the May 2019 update, however due to low SSD space I have already deleted the old windows version as I didn't know there would be any issues at the time.


    Another issue that maybe related

    After updating to the May 2019 update I also cannot right-click>run as administrator or run as administrator through the start menu, however programs that by default need to be run as administrator i can still press yes on the UAC prompt. See attached GIFs.

    Windows fails to boot after attempting to update Windows 10.

    Windows Update keeps failing!

    I have the exact same problem, I don't wanna hijack this thread so I will be brief........ One day about 10 days ago, out of the blue I started up my PC and Windows 7 failed to boot, I got to the Windows logo but then an error message telling me that there was no active user profile available, after several attempts at safe mode, Windows boot CD and the recovery console I gave up and did a complete fresh install onto my SSD.

    Once I had loaded all my drivers etc, I started update.... on first pass update downloaded 14 updates, restarted the PC, installed them and all was well, it then automatically went into update mode again and downloaded 83 updates (my version is pre SP1), since then after about 25 attempts it has been unable on restart to configure the updates and automatically "reverts" back, I have just got to the point that I have disabled updates completely.
