I have Win 10 Enterprise edition on my new laptop provided by my workplace. I use the laptop at home as I work out of my home office. I wanted to enable the night light mode on this laptop (as I could do with my second laptop with Win 10 Pro on version 1709) but realized that I do not have that option in the new work laptop as version of Windows on it is 1607.
After searching on the net, I noticed information indicating that a Windows creators update could fix this issue of not having the night light option. Then I downloaded and installed the Windows 10 creators update and got myself into a big mess. It looked like the Windows 10 Update Assistant could not update Windows version because it was Enterprise edition. But it would NOT stop trying. It was trying to update the Win version a couple of times a day by downloading, installing and rebooting etc. This kept of happening repeatedly. Uninstalling the Win 10 Update Assistant or trying to remove recent updates did not help.
I searched on the net and I saw the suggestions of Updating Task scheduler - Updating Orchestrator triggers to disables etc on another site. Same suggestion is mentioned on tomshardware.com as well.
(What I am referring to is the following suggestion (as per tomshardware.com):
Go to Task Scheduler - TaskSchedulerLibrary - Microsoft - Windows - Update Orchestrator. Then pick UpdateAssistant - right click - Properties - Triggers Tab - Edit each Trigger then click Enabled box to Disable - OK. Repeat for UpdateAssistantCalendarRun.
Lastly, don't forget to go to Control Panel - Programs & Features and uninstall the Win10 Upgrade Assistant and the Upgrade if its been downloaded.)
I set the triggers as disabled as suggested for UpdateAssistant and UpdateAssistantCalendarRun. What I did NOT see in the other site is that I should uninstall the Windows 10 Upgrade assistant if it is still present.
As I had uninstalled the Windows 10 Upgrade assistant a few times before and it did not work, I thought it might not be required after the Task Scheduler triggers disabling.
But alas, it looks like that was a grave mistake. It looks like Win 10 update has run one last time because it was present on my machine and now finding itself unable to restore the previous version of Windows. My computer is NOT starting up now.. I see a message indicating 'Attempting to recover installation.. then another message saying 'Restoring your previous version of Windows' and keeps going back to 'To interrupt your normal startup, press enter' then again the message 'Attempting to recover installation' and the message 'Restoring your previous version of Windows' in a never ending loop. How do I recover from this mess? Thank you!!!
