    I just had this update on my PC and now it will not boot. Fails the BIOS POST test with a series of beeps, completely blank screen.

    I bought it only 5 days ago, have tried re-seating the RAM and GPU.

    Hard to decipher the beeps as the screen is blank and I dont know what MB make it is. (8 regular slow beeps. Then a repeat of two slow low tone beeps, two fast high tone beeps - if that means anything to anyone!)

    I did have some important work to do, but I guess not, thanks microsoft :(

    I presume there is no way to fix this and the PC is now dead, as it wont ever boot up again now, to receive a Windows update fix ... to fix this "update fix"?

    Does this mean MS has to reimburse anyone who's pc broke because of the update? I have this same problem. Won't boot, beeps a couple of times and I have a blank screen

    The windows update wont cause a post issue. That's all you. POST happens before the OS loads. Plus if you are reseating the GPU, you can look on the mobo for model number. POST errors are hardware only.

    AndytechAA , AMDThorRig and JeffSchafer,

    It is also reeking  havoc with my Dell 990.  I thought I had everything fixed but now it goes to sleep or hibernates and will not wake up unless I shut it down using the power switch on the case then boot it back up as if it had actually been shut down.  It always reboots right back to where it was when it quit and it reboots smoothly. I am the IT Tech/Manager for a small town and we just bought a new computer and "upgraded" my Dell but this is a new one for me.

    If anyone has any ideas on this one please let me know.  As I said before I have spent several hours on the phone with Windows 10 level 2 support and thought everything was fixed but here I am again and the support team will not reply to my emails.

    Some information just came to me while I was typing.  We have a new HP laptop that we received about 2 weeks ago with 10 already installed that is dropping programs and has lost all of the Outlook mail and address files.

    Thanks,

    Clyde
