    Windows Update 20H2 broke 3 of my home computers :


    Ok so, I tried to do the update 20H2 on my 3 home computers a few days ago... Non of them had any issues before with updating or whatever. Since I downloaded 20H2, my 3 computers give me a error message every time I'm trying to update. All of them have the message "We couldn't update Windows, don't turn off computer, undoing changes" and be stock on a boot loop that tries to update and fails. After a good 5 minutes of booting and rebooting, I finally get to use my wonderfully bugged Windows devices. Tried so many things to fix it but nothing worked on all of my computers... The only option I

    Windows 10 Update broke my computer

    Can confirm 20H2 "breaks" the drive where none of the suggested recovery options work whatsoever.

    Even a recovery USB and the like.

    My wifes desktop (work) and my laptop (work)both died after updating with no recocery availability.

    Even the download option doesnt work including every option on this list.

  3. Update 20h2

    Hi Wicki,

    I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

    20H2 should not be installed right-away on your device - MS said the rollout is only to a fraction of users and would be labeled as an optional update initially. Are you enrolled in WIP?

    You may uninstall 20H2 using the steps below:

    • Press Windows Key + X key and click Device Manager.
    • Expand ‘Display Adapters’.

    Method 2: Try installing the game in Compatibility mode and check.



    Follow the steps to install in Compatibility mode:



    • Right click the Game setup file and select Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab.
