Hi,
I've bought new drive recently (about a month ago) and I've installed windows 10 on it. It's original windows 10, iso downloaded from microsoft's own website, licenced and all... I normally never install windows updates because they always give me trouble. In fact until I bought that new drive my old windows10 was still on 1709 version. This time I wanted to update everything to latest once at least then I was going to disable windows update again. And nightmare begun. The moment I let windows install that updates after the first half (windows says updates are done by 30% then restarts the pc) I get BSOD with code PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA. Now this is not just one time thing. It's consistent. I always get this bsod and never get to see desktop. Since then I've clean installed windows 3 more times and on those 2 occasions same thing happened. Now I'm on my 4th format and despite disabling windows update service it looks like it somehow reactivated itself and downloaded windows updates without asking me. I've seen that windows update icon on my taskbar today and I know how this will end. The moment I restart my pc to install updates that microsoft has so kindly downloaded for me, I'll get stuck in BSOD hell and will be forced to format my pc all over again.
Now my question is how can I avoid this? Is there a way to delete the downloaded update files and stop windows asking me to restart for update? Or do you know why I cannot update my windows at all and have solution for it? I'm honestly considering to run linux at this point, this is literally unusable for me. I cannot format my OS every week.
