  1. Windows update broke my pc


    Last night I was gaming and had no problems, my pc was working as it should and it was all good, than I got a notification that there is a new windows update, closed the game and started the normal update. After that my pc did his thing and it was fine, but when I started it again it was a lot slower, all the apps were barley working, when I entered the game my fps dropped from 50-70 to 10-20 at max. I need a solution to this problem, so my pc can run normal again without the problems it has with the new update

    :)

    Hi,



    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.



    Method 1: Try updating the Video card drivers and check if it helps.



    Follow the steps to update the Video card driver:



    • Press Windows Key + X key and click Device Manager.
    • Expand ‘Display Adapters’.
    • Right-click on the Video card listed and click on ‘Update Driver Software’.


    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.
    • Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode for: box.
    • Tap or click the drop down box and select a previous operating system, then tap or click OK.
    • Try installing the Game and check.


    If still the issue persist then I suggest you to follow the suggestion provided by crazzilla replied on August 3, 2015 from the below link and check if it helps.

    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."

    Windows update broke my pc

    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 Windows update broke my pc :) Best regards.


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