Hi first time poster, long term viewer of this forum.
.
My PC was having .dll and bad image issues and many of my programs stopped working. I tried fixing this by running sfc /scannow but that command is never able to complete. During all my troubleshooting it thought maybe updating my windows version could help. That's when i realized that I haven't updated windows since 7/2018.
Attempting to update windows from the native windows update settings page kept failing. My PC would attempt to install the update and then randomly shut down during the process or I would get an error code long the lines of 0x80073712.
So then I tried downloading the windows update tool and no luck, same issue. PC would shut down during the restart process of installation.
So then I tried using an ISO mounted to re-install windows. No luck same issue. "The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase"
So now i'm saying F it. I tried to reset OS using Recovery to at least keep my files. No luck same issue. PC goes to install phase and when rebooting and saying "x%" completion, it will randomly fully shutdown and restart.
I was wondering if maybe someone can help me further troubleshoot.
I don't have an external hard drive to move my files to right now, and I don't care about my programs I can re-install them!
I'd like to add that I ran a full virus scan using bit defender and a malware scan using malwarebytes and both did not find anything significant. I disabled all startup non essential programs and I have also attempted to run sfc/ scannow in safe mode or through troubleshooting mode. No dice.
Thanks you so much!
