    Windows Update broke my computer, and wont let me get back onto my windows account


    I was trying to download the 2023-2024 Cummulative Windows Update but when I did it led to an error, and then i tried troubleshooting the windows update error because it told me to and then I had to restart. After I restarted I tried it again, and this time it let me restart, but when I restarted It didnt let me back onto the windows account because it said "PIN is currently unavailable, click here to set up your PIN" or something like that and when I tried to set it up, the screen turned black with my cursor showing but nothing else showing, not even task manager.

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows Update broke my computer, and wont let me get back onto my windows account :(

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

    Microsoft withdraws bad Windows 7 update that broke future Windows 7 updates

    "Unfortunately, this apparently simple change has had severe consequences for some users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, with users reporting that Windows Update, drivers from both Nvidia and AMD, and some third-party software including Virtual Box are all unable to install correctly. The error code 0x8004FF91 seems to be a common finding."
