    windows update 1903 crashed pc & now won't boot properly & shows no files exist


    I have attempted to update to 1903 a few times in the past week, but it always just shut my computer off for hours without updating. This morning, I had the updates download and then it just sat "running" with a black screen after it restarted.

    • Computer began a restart/shutdown loop. It kept doing this nonstop.
    • Contacted tech support. The only way the PC will boot is by holding down power for 15 or so secs and then powering on.
    • The startup screen/GIGABYTE menu with options for bios, system info, etc is the only thing that loads.
    • I can enter bios and system restore settings
      • system restore fails and does not recognize any media
      • go back to previous update does not work
      • load from PC image does not work


    • Attempted to restore PC via USB "windows 10 setup" as directed by tech support but does not work. It begins to load and then takes me back to the main screen and attempts to repair, but fails and then returns to GIGABYTE motherboard screen.


    If possible, I would like to retain my files. I have a large external HDD for this. I had backups but these do not work. I don't know what steps to take next. It began its life as a windows 10 PC, no older OS. It has had ZERO issues up until 1903 came out. Not even problems with other programs.


    What steps could I take next?

    :)

  3. windows not properly booting after crash

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update and response.

    I recommend you to create an installation media for Windows 10, boot the device using the media, access Command Prompt from Windows recovery Environment, enter the below commands to re-build the boot record and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to create an installation media for
    Windows 10
    using the media creation tool:

    Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

    Step 2: After preparing the installation media, insert it hard reboot the device and follow the below:

    • Boot into Windows Recovery Environment using the Windows 10 installation media.
    • Click on Repair your computer.
    • Click on Troubleshoot and in the Advanced options.
    • Select Command Prompt. Type the following commands into the prompt and press Enter key after each command.
    • bootrec /fixmbr
    • bootrec /fixboot
    • bootrec /scanos
    • bootrec /rebuildbcd
    5. Click Turn off your PC.

    6. Turn the PC back on and it should boot directly into Windows.

    NOTE: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring
    of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

    Let us know whether the issue regarding the booting of operating system is resolved. We will be glad to help you further.

    3. I´m the administrator of the PC
    4. Already tried do create another administrator user account - same problem, no success
