  1. Windows wont dual boot after updating dell support assist os recovery.


    i just recently installed Ubuntu in my dell inspiron 3593 alongside windows 10.everything was working fine except the fact that i was getting 'c drive error' messages every time i booted in windows 10, so in order to fix that i went into support assist OS recovery by pressing f12 at boot and used the 'repair this PC option' before doing this i also used the sfc scan option and it fixed some corrupted files but i kept getting this error,i also used the chkdsk command but it was unable to fix the error after the PC repair finished i clicked on the update option located at the top of that window and since the update finished i am unable to boot into windows 10.what shall i do?

    system info: i have windows 10 installed in a nvme ssd and ubuntu in a different hardisk on the same machine

    :)

    windows store corrupted dell support assistant

    FWIW we see a lot of users with problems caused by support assistant on the Dell forums and in particular BIOS and driver updates. We advise them to manually download and install any updates, especially BIOS updates as several have wound up with bricked PC's after support assistant BIOS update. Fortunately new (and some newer) Dell PC's now have BIOS recovery options. Older Dell's did not and a failed/corrupt BIOS update and the only option was to replace the motherboard.

    Dell Support Assist not wanted but needed?

    I do some user support on the Dell forums. Support Assist isn't needed. You can manually access the Dell downloads, specific to your PC, by using your Service Tag. This will list all downloads based on the configuration as shipped. BIOS updates are critical to only do them manually, IF NEEDED, as we have seen Support Assist BIOS corruptions (not all but some).

    Its up to you with McAfee, that was one of the first things I uninstalled on my Inspiron 15 5577 model. I don't use that bloatware and use the built in Windows Defender and Malwarebytes.

    Windows wont dual boot after updating dell support assist os recovery.

    Dual Booting with Windows 8.1


    The procedure below will allow you to boot Windows separately or in dual boot configuration.
    Here's what I recommend to do:
    1. Disconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    2. Install Windows 10 with one drive connected.
    3. After step 2, reconnect the drive containing Windows 8.1
    4. Boot up Windows 8.1. Open disk management and take a note of the drive letter of Windows 10 OS.
      NOTE: if you boot up Windows 10, then take a note of Windows 8.1 drive letter
    5. Open Admin command prompt and type: bcdboot X:\windows where X: is the drive letter of Windows 10 (Windows 8.1 if you boot from Windows 10 in step 4)
    6. Reboot the PC. You should have a dual boot screen.

    NOTE: To break off the dual boot setting, Win+R->msconfig->boot and delete the none default entry on the list.
