Windows10 did an automatic update while my PC was sleeping. Now all restore points are deleted and it's claiming hardware (disk) error and cannot load windows or finish updating, or go back to previous version... it's forcing me to do a clean reset. What on earth happened? and how can I fix it? Please help! My PC is far from obsolete...the OS SSD was bought in Jan'18, and run on i7-3770, 16Gb...everything has always worked fine up to this point. It's only uses are for imaging software, and occassional light gaming.
PS: Is there anyway to file a lawsuit to Microsoft for these occurrences? The clean reset will force me to delete essential files I need for work. This will set me back two weeks from delivery.
More points worth mentioning (that has obviously been put out there):
- Why do updates always insist on being automatic? My PC is clean and encountering very few if any errors at all. No viruses, no corruptions, my data is protected online. What is the point of the urgency. We should always have the option.
- Before any 'insisted' update, why not also insist on backing up, remind to create a restore point or an error warning bracing us for a possible complete corruption error, which I'm certain has been happening numerous times.
- Why are automatic updates taking place why the PC is sleeping/hibernating?
- For updates, can't we choose what we find as essential to update, such as only virus protection update?
- Windows needs to have a bullet point of all updates when it's prompted. No one knows exactly what these updates are unless you're uber-PC-detective that researches everything.
- It boggles me how my PC has just been literally been destroyed by this update. If someone can just have some type of explanation (forget the solution, I'll likely just end up resetting and deal with it) on how this mess happens, it will at least give some consolation.
- I feel like a moron having to explain something that I know Microsoft will continue to do and we have no control over it.
- Thanks Microsoft, you're the best.
Again obviously this falls on deaf ears as Microsoft will ignore it all and most 'expert' Tomhardware users will brush me off as another clueless noob.
