[SOLVED] Windows Updates Killing My PC?

[somjohnny0]

I’ve had this problem for some time now, I suppose I’ve been prolonging it. Straight to the point, when shutting down my pc it had the update and shutdown and the update and restart. I know this is the root of the problem. Because now my pc is stuck in a loading loop. It would get to the windows logo and the spinning status ring would just freeze. I even safe booted the PC and tried downloading the recent update. In all honest I didn’t know where to look or how exactly to do it, but I got to safe boot. Even trying to remove just the updates, the computer just reboots or gets stuck so my only option is remove everything but I can’t do that yet. I’m sure the problem mentioned above is solvable and someone can help me with that. I already made another windows hdd that boots but I’m having problems with that as well.

Now the persistent problem.

If anyone can answer this, this will probably help me in the long run, troubleshoot and solve my issues. As mentioned above, my pc has been running into loading loops, automatic repair loops. Not too often but often enough. I’ve had to remove the software from my main ssd with windows 3 times already. I assumed it was a dead ssd, I’ve had it for sometime and I figured the age was catching up to it. But then I realized that whenever I update and shutdown, SOMETIMES, this methods bring me in a loading loop. Is there anyway to not update and just shut down to avoid such hassle. I am seriously done with updating windows. But I know some initial updates are required for certain things to work. Also, I installed a new hard drive with windows so I can start backing up my old windows hard drive, but now that is being fussy. when I shut down it starts back up. Even did sysdm.cpl, unchecked automatic start up when failure. I just flipped the switch and left it at that. I don’t know if it’s just the end of my pc or my hard drives are just all bad or what, hopefully someone has some good insight. I could only surf google for so long without constantly being disappointed with countless methods that may or may not work.

what are specs of the PC? how old is it? Do you have newest bios on motherboard?

One way to force a shutdown without an update is hold shift key in when pressing shut off but you don't want to do that on every shutdown. Need to work out why it does this.

boot into safe mode and try to set windows up for a clean boot, see if that changes anything. Read instructions carefully and make sure not to disable any Microsoft services or windows won't start right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

did you try running system file checker in safe mode?
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

much of this advice is from here - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/computer-in-reboot-loop-after-update/e8e0e083-7ca4-4080-821c-061952e601c8?auth=1

So I solved one problem and still have one more. I managed to unistall the last update in the windows recovery screen which let me boot to my hard drive normally, but now I still have the pc reboot after I put shut down

Try turning off fast startup and see if it stops the restarts - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html

check motherboard drivers are up to date, that could explain the update problem

which version of win 10 are you on?
right click start
choose run...
type winver and press enter
current versions are 1803 & 1809
