Windows 10: Windows Update Keeps Ruining Computer

Greetings,Earlier this year a Windows Update caused by computer to get stuck on the Dell Logo loadup screen. The dots just continually spin forever until I do a hard reboot. No matter what I do I can't get it past this point. I took it to a repair shop and they replaced the hard drive but copied over my old data to the new one so I could retain my files and Microsoft Office, etc. This worked until the next time a Windows Update came and then it broke it again. There it sat for weeks unable to get past the loadup screen.Eventually I got a flash drive to reinstall Windows but for some reason

:)

 

Win 10 update ruined my computer

I will gladly dispose of any "ruined computer" that Windows 10 has "ruined". Just ship them to me and I will take care of disposing of the "ruined" hardware!

I haven't had to face that problem with any of my PCs yet. (Touch wood. [Old pagan ritual to avoid bad luck.])

You may ultimately have to re-install Windows, but I hope that someone can offer a less painful fix.

A suggestion: "Windows 10 update ruined my computer" sounds like a ranting post. There are many helpful people here, but they respond better to requests for help than to complaints.

 

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi,

I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

- go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!
