Windows 10: Windows has stopped working completely

I'm running Windows 10 on an asus computer and everything was fine for the past several months till i got home today. Suddenly it claims that windows failed to update and takes me to the blue screen with options to fix it. I have restarted the computer, selected to diagnose the problem but neither worked. The computer will not start in safe mode and if i try to resrt it back to a previous setting it ecplains something went wrong. I allowed the computer to die hoping to force a hard reset with no luck. I even tried setting the computer to factory default only to have the computer tell me something went wrong and no changes were made.i haven't downloaded anything from any site but Microsoft store in the past few days, scanned it for viruses and quarantined everything it found before this started and have only been on Google and YouTube. I cannot figure bout what suddenly caused this problem or how to fix it. Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated. I don't have the money for a new computer and desperately need one for my college classes. The only conclusion i can reach so far is windows suddenly decided to stop working but i know that can't be it.

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Sennheiser GSP 350. Microphone stops working when I open any game

Wow, ok. I think I've fixed it by accident while fiddling around.

It appears to be the Realtek audio being the issue here. I don't use my onboard sound card as my headset is a USB headset only and my speakers are plugged into an ASUS sound card.

Step by step fix:

• I went into recording devices
• I enabled STEREO MIX (Realtek High Definition Audio)
• Then I set that Stereo Mix as the DEFAULT DEVICE (At this point it took over both input and output devices without my permission )
• Then set my Sennheiser headset as default recording and playback devices in their respective windows even though they both still said they were the default devices when they weren't

Headset microphone is currently functioning while in game now. I'll update the thread if it goes again. Should I completely disable Realtek audio??? Or will windows just force it to work again?
