Windows 10's latest automatic "upgrade"
Hi neighbours!
As a computer technician, I try my best to stay on top of the recent bugs, issues and reports associated with each new windows update.
Since April I've been getting a lot of emails from previous customers, friends and family that have experienced a forced stoppage on booting up their Windows 10 laptops/computers etc. More commonly affecting the machines that run on AMD processors (there should be a sticker on the machine)
This can be an infuriating bug that forces your device into a constant loop of failing to load, resulting in the errors (commonly):
Blue Screen of Death (We're sorry, your PC ran into an issue *sad face emoji so the developers look caring*)
This typically happens when there is a clash between when certain software(s) like anti virus protection, USB drivers, Bluetooth drivers, and other security/devices/changes made during these updates. Information gets collected, you're given an error number (eg: 1x00023xxx) and told where you can search this number for specifics.
After flashing this at you and scaring you, it will then enter start up repair!
Breathe a sigh of relief, it's going to fix itself!
It won't.
It's been reported to me that the next error message they receive is:
Windows Start Up Repair was unable to repair your device.
Working on this bug since April has been infuriating for me, and this is what I do! The extreme stoppages this update causes left me diagnosing and repairing multiple issues for people that were considering throwing out their existing computer and buying an upgraded one.
Hold your money!!! There's no need to spend hundreds on a new laptop or computer. If you are having any troubles here, I've had a pretty solid start in fixing 85% (made up stats, but not too inaccurate) of the problems.
It's a long process, but I don't charge for time. Only for the job that I'm doing, since most of the fixes involve waiting for things to scan and load.
Any and all questions welcome!
Regards,
Matthew Bold
