OK, I think this will fix it.
First of all, if your System Restore is working then just use that to go back to before the recent updates, if it's not working then try this.
- Disconnect from the internet
- Open Control Panel
- Open Program & Features
- Click "View installed updates" on the left-hand side
- Find "Security update for Microsoft Windows (KB2859537)" under the Microsoft Windows section
- Uninstall that update and restart you PC (may take a very-VERY long time to configure)
- Go to Windows Updates and hide (KB2859537)
- Reconnect to the internet
- Fix your System Restore feature; You might have to remove a fake C: drive and enable System Restore on the correct Windows drive.
hi steve, i'm having the same problem too, i tryed to reinstall the system 2 times but the problem after 1 week starts to happens again, but i didn't found this update installed here... it could be another update causing this problem?
tks!
In Windows open CMD as Administrator and type BCDEdit and enter, if your Windows Boot Loader Path is xOsload.exe then the installation disk that you are using is causing the problem and you need to follow these instructions
- Print these instructions
- restart your computer and keep tapping F8 until you get the boot options on the screen, choose "repair your computer", select your country and an admin account.
- Go to "Command Prompt"
4. Check which drive your Windows is installed on, if you have 2 hard-drives then your Windows drive might be E:
To check type:
D:
dir
You should see a Windows directory, if you don't then try the above again with C: or E:
5. Type each of these lines, making sure you use the correct letter for your Windows drive:
Del D:\Windows\System32\xOsload.exe
Del D:\Windows\System32\xNtKrnl.exe
Del D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\oem-drv64.sys
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd
- restart your computer
7. re-activate your Windows
