After Windows 1 March 2023 update my PC crashed. Tried roll back or restore and repair, no dice. Repair install with Media Creation Tool and bootable W10 install drive: repair crash, cleaned C: of everything, clean install: crash. Got another bootable disk to install: crash. Finally figured out the BSoD error message (why does that disappear so quickly?).
Windows could not load, error "System Thread Exception not Handled".
Summary of events:
While working Friday evening (Czech Republic, Europe) saw an update screen: "update is ready let us show you around" or something like that.
Any idea what is wrong and how to continue?
I saw many other people with those problems but most answers start with "in windows, do this or that". Since Saturday morning (now 4 days), I cannot get into Windows but end up in a reboot cycle, even after trying to do a clean install on an empty SSD.
The bootable drive uses Windows November 2022,;at that time, my PC worked perfectly.
Any ideas how to proceed or solutions?
PS1: I installed W10 with internet disconnected, no MS Account linked.
PS2: set-up
This is an old self-built PC, Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V Pro gen 3 ; CPU i7-2600k; 16 GB RAM, ASUS-NVIDIA GTX 570. New Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD (checked, excellent condition) as OS, 250 GB SSD for video editing, 1 TB SSD for daily data work and pictures, 2 HDDs (1TB+2TB) as data and media backup.
We also have a brand new HP laptop and an older Macbook Air (running mostly windows). To get access to old games and data floppies, also just repaired a Windows 2000 PC and two XP machines out of old stuff laying around here.
Windows could not load, error "System Thread Exception not Handled".
Summary of events:
While working Friday evening (Czech Republic, Europe) saw an update screen: "update is ready let us show you around" or something like that.
- Closed that screen and shortly thereafter shut down PC.
- Saturday morning: start up and crash. Figured out problem was I switched off after "I am done" message while actually Windows was not done updating yet.
- PC kept crashing, not possible to roll back or go to restore points.
- Finally managed to get a bootable drive and tried to repair and then reinstall Windows.
- No success so cleaned C: SSD drive and did a clean reinstall.
- Windows seemed ready, so I reconnected to Internet and tried to update: crash.
- Asked my colleagues at work (academic institution in Czech Republic) to make another fresh bootable Windows install drive.
- Installed windows: before connecting to internet tried to install latest drive for my GPU: halfway through: crash.
- Finally managed to identify the error message: Windows could not load, error "system thread exception not handled"
- When clean-installing, all additional drives and external devices were disconnected (except monitor, mouse, keyboard).
