Windows 10 rollback stuck

I had these issues, and I have fixed it through re-installing through the usb. A day and a half later Windows wants me to update again. Will this cause me the same problems again? Should I uninstall avast first since this has been blamed in alot of places? Just dont want to go through the whole process of fixing it again

Honestly, I don't think it's Avast... I had AVG. That's why I'm a little hesitant myself about updating, for the same reason. The lack of response from Microsoft is getting a little worrisome, and with one of the comments saying the support people over the phone literally said "We won't be able to help you because your laptop isn't compatible," it just makes me doubt even more.  I'm not going to update right away.  I'm going to wait a bit. Until this whole thing is a little more straightened out. 

I had read on another page that its affected avast and avg users, as AVG is part of avast (which I never knew until now). So does seem its something with these systems and windows

Oh damn! Thanks for the heads up!  Thought something was always making my disk usage shoot to 100%.  But wasn't sure if it was AVG or another program... Or just Windows sucking. haha Now it all makes sense.  Need to find another antivirus solution I guess. Maybe it would be fine to update after uninstalling at rate? I'm not sure. I'm still a little worried about trying though. haha Might wait a bit until the dust settles and things are making more sense.  Keep us posted though!

Alright everyone! I have finally fixed my laptop.  It was in no way easy, but it worked...  I hope to be able to give you a nice basic understanding of what I did to fix it. I have some pictures to help, but a lot of them were on my other computer, which I am not at right now, so I will have to come back to edit this post in order to make it more clear.

So long story short, you have to go and reinstall Windows 10 in order to fix this if none of the other fixes are working for you. (I know, it's painful and aggravating. I was in the same boat as you not too long ago.  Good news though, you won't lose all of your files if you do it right!) 

So let's get right to it.

What you'll need:

1. A USB with at least 4GB (finished drive will take 3.56 GB)
2. Another working computer with internet access and at least 8GB of space on the C: drive
3. A program that can burn an ISO image to a USB drive.  I'll be using Rufus in my example, because that is what I used to do it.
4. Patience - so as to not throw your laptop at the wall and make things worse. (LOL)

Steps:

1. Plug in your USB to your working computer and make sure you transfer all the files and data to a safe place (Another computer or external drive).  YOU WILL BE DELETING ALL OF THE INFORMATION from the USB in the making of this bootable ISO image, SO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T SKIP THIS STEP!
2. Download the official Windows 10 media creation tool from their site: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
3. When it is finished downloading, open the application and accept Applicable notice and Licence terms. (It will waste more of your time saying "Getting things ready....")

4.  Select "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC" and click "Next".

5. You should be able to leave everything as is on that next screen (for selecting language, architecture, and edition) UNLESS you have a 32-bit system.  In that case, change the architecture drop down to 32-bit (x86). (( I guess if your really worried and unsure, you can select the "both", but it's better if you know for sure. Most computers nowadays are 64-bit, unless they're REALLY old! haha))

Click "Next".

6. Now I've tried both options for this next part, but only the ISO image worked for me. I also saw a few other people on here saying the same thing. That's why I advise you to choose the "ISO file" option for this part. Click "Next". A window will popup asking you where you want to save the ISO image named "Windows".  Choose an appropriate place to store it so that you won't lose it (such as your Downloads folder).  Let the program run, it will download and store the ISO image in the appropriate place once finished. 
7. Once that is done downloading, you need a program that will mount an ISO image to a USB device. I have chosen Rufus as it was in one of the first articles I looked up for such a solution. Click that link to go to the page and download it. (Probably the quickest and easiest part of this whole process. haha)
8. Next, follow this article on how to correctly use Rufus to create a bootable ISO from your USB drive. (Or just do it by yourself if you know what you are doing... Most of the options you don't even have to change.) Once you get to step 16 in the article, your done (for that part at least.)
9. Eject the USB drive to safely remove it, and plug it into your broken/stuck Windows device.

Now comes the fun part! (Not)

10. Turn on the computer.  It'll have the "Choose an option" page that says the stupid "Continue with Rollback," that we all know by now ends in an infinite loop. Choose the "Use another operating system" option.

11.  Select one of the two Windows options presented (I think they're both the same anyways, so don't worry about which one.) DON'T SELECT WINDOWS ROLLBACK! THIS WILL JUST KEEP YOU IN THE ENDLESS LOOP!

12. Your computer should start up somewhat normal, except for the lack of WiFi and the lack of ability to do a lot of things.  This is because, as others have suggested, it is in safe mode. Log in as you normally would though, your password should still work. (Try your Microsoft account password if local password doesn't work. If that also doesn't work, try going back into roll back mode by doing a couple hard shutdowns, and then to command prompt in advanced option; after that try the first few things in this video to make another admin account so you can log in for the rest of the steps.)

Now the somewhat trickier part.

13. As you will notice, you can't enter the start menu, and your Desktop is completely naked. Try hitting the Windows key + R to bring up the Run box. If that doesn't work, what you have to do is either 1.) CTRL + ALT + DELETE and select "Task Manager" OR (as I did) 2.) Right click the task bar (the one on the bottom) and click "Task Manager".  Once in Task Manager, go to File > Run New Task and click it. This will also bring the Run box up.
14. Once in there, click "Browse..." to open up a file explorer. (Alternatively you can type in "explorer.exe" and click Run to bring up a file explorer, but this other way is easier, and explorer.exe may not work for you.) Navigate to your external USB, and find the "setup.exe" application.  Double click it.
15. Depending on your computer, it may either tell you that it has updates to install, or that it is ready to install (a whole new Windows.)  Just make sure that if there is in option for it, which there should be, that "Keep personal files" is selected. This will prevent you from losing any of your valuable data/files. Click next, making sure that the option for keeping files is selected.
16. Let Windows reinstall! That's it, your done! (Now this may take a couple hours, just a fair warning.  It took about 2 hours to reinstall mine.)

Hopefully this helps some of you out!  Microsoft should be giving me a tech support job after all this, huh? ;-) Please leave a reply letting me know if this helped you or not!  I'll try and upload some pics to make this easier.

Thank you for these detailed instructions! I followed them all the way to the last step but I am stuck here, any thoughts? Forgive the upside down photo, can't seem to change it:

Figured out the pictures. The second pic is what I get when I click the link that shows details regarding windows not being able to installed on this disk.

third try attaching photo!  :)
