    Hi Guys,

    i solved this problem and I don’t think you’re gonna like it. Basically, I just clean install windows 10. I download the latest windows 10 (1709 build) with 2018-03 cummulative updates using Media Creation Tool and make an bootable USB.

    before I wipe all the data, I use a secondary computer to backup all my files.

    this is the only thing that I can do since I stop working because of this problem. I tried every suggestion from all of the forums and didn’t work.

    Just wanted to let everyone know how I resolved this issue after running into it. Like everyone else I've tried the normal fixes.

    • Leave it alone and see if it resolves itself
    • Get into advanced startup menu and try Startup Repair
    • Try sfc and DISM
    • Try bootrec
    • Try restore points but did not have any

    I was almost to the point of reloading the whole computer, when for some reason I navigated to the other Operating System button. When I looked in there I saw two items that said Windows 10 and one that just showed a box that was currently the default.

    • I selected the first windows 10 and changed it to default, restarted but it did not boot.
    • Boot back into repair menu and selected the second windows 10 option as the default, reboot and was able to get to the original OS.
    • From there I boot up and then downloaded the windows 10 update troubleshooter at https://aka.ms/wudiag
    • I ran it once as administrator it saw there was a pending update, I told it to skip and fix any other issues.
    • Then ran it again it still saw a pending update, this time I told it to resolve all issues.
    • Manually ran the windows update. It found a bunch of updates including the 1709 build. It wanted a restart. I restarted only to see that the 1709 build did not install but the others did.
    • Manually ran windows update again and this time it only showed the 1709 build. It successfully installed after some time to download. Reboot verified it was at 1709 and then performed updates until pc said I was up to date.

    Hope this helps someone cause  none of the other fixes helped me.

    Regards,

    Arnel
