Windows update 10/12/2022 broke my PC totally!

Well, that sounds far worse than what happened to me.

After update on 11th, (12th for me), black screen with a little white dialogue box in upper left part of screen saying Internet Explorer wasn't responding.

Nothing was working, except for some reason, I was able to CTRL/ALT/DELETE and pull up Task Manager, (weird).

I kept rebooting to log in screen and logging in, but only got the "BLACK SCREEN AND ERROR MESSAGE TOP LEFT".

So I was getting upset that the dreaded update scenario had finally befallen me. Then I remembered to power cycle 3 times to get to the recovery screen.

Didn't work at first, had to do at least 3 full power cycles of 3 cycles before that pretty blue recovery screen with options under advanced came up!.

So I quickly did a restore point back to the 7th. Worked like a charm, got to desktop and everything was awesome, so I paused updates till I could figure out

what was going on. 3 Hours later I tried same updates and had no problem, (weird?).

Now another issue has arisen, chiefly Microsoft Edge. I download it, save it, then open it up, .....nothing!. Did this like 3 full times before it would even begin

to install. OK, got it installed right?, ... Nothing when I open it, just nothing, lol.

Don't understand why Edge isn't Compatible with this 1809 Enterprise LTSC\ 2019 Server\ Windows 10 RS5,....LOL.

Update; 10-15-22,

Got Edge working fine, a command line tutorial fix worked for me, ...everything is just zipping along fine now.

The update may simply have been a coincidence to a hardware error

Never leave the PC once you have instigated an update, wait until it completes before shutting down.

If a branded PC see that makers support as to how to run diagnostics on boot

I know you'd like to be helpful but none of those errors had anything to do with this. Immediately before the update the computer is working fine. Then after the update it breaks, coincidence...maybe. However I try to uninstall the update and the problem clearly stated is that there is a pending update action that is preventing deletion. I went into the directory and searched the system updates and there it is clear as day, the update shows up as pending versus everything else that says installed. In addition I might be swayed if I was the only person experiencing this issue but you can't tell me that's the case for all the people sharing the exact same issue. Which means there are many more who simply didn't find this post.

Same update ruined my pc and corrupted my backups couldn’t even revert I had to fully wipe my pc and reinstall windows

Update on another dead PC due to Microsoft.

Today 0ctober 26.

Just before I went to bed 2 nights ago, windows 10 downloaded new updates.

Yesterday morning (25th), they were ready pending install (about 5 different updates), so I started the install and went to work.

Got home after work and all installed, restart PC needed, great. Restarted, went to make a cuppa and some food, came back to PC after an hour. PC on, CPU fan spinning and RGB working (Ryzen 3600), GPU lit up and fans spinning (GTX 1060), but blank screen.

Turned screen off, back on, screen shows its own connection test.......no signal.......screen goes to sleep.

Initially I figured my Quest2 had overridden the monitor (connected by link). So I put it on and tried to get to desktop through that. It says no PC connected. I switch USB and check cable. Orange charging light is on, so USB has power.

I unplug cable and try AirLink. Headset says no PC available. Its now that I notice my Ethernet socket has no lights flashing to show connection.

I mess with my router......nothing.

I then realise my keyboard and mouse have no lights. Keyboard is PS/2:connection, mouse is USB.

I try a WiFi dongle to see if It comes up on my Quest.....nothing.

I hard shutdown and check cables, power supply, SSD.....the usual.

Switch power back on. GPU has white light indicating cable inserted from PSU. I unplug cable and red light comes on indicating no cable, but this also indicates that there MUST be some power coming through PCIe slot.

I switch on PC in this state. CPU fires up, RGB OK, GPU fans spin (again showing that there is PCIe power).....but monitor no signal. Nothing to mouse or keyboard.

I strip down my PC back to bare. Remove CPU, clean, new paste, replace. Same with GPU/RAM. Insert just one stick, leave out GPU and restart......Cooler spins and lights up, no beeps, and its here that I notice the motherboard has an LED near the RAM that flashes once when fired up.

Still nothing.

Remove CMOS battery and go make a brew....... No change.

Now I go steal my sons PC, switch GPUs, he has HD 7870. My PC with his GPU....nothing. His PC with my GPU......perfect.

So then I swap PSUs.........same result.

I can't swap RAM because DDR4/DDR3.

My last move is to swap SSDs. Again his PC with my SSD is fine, so this means windows has installed. My PC with his SSD......nothing.

So all I can surmise, is that the windows update has killed all signals to my motherboard I/O??

I am now running mys sons PC with my GPU and SSD installed. He uses his XBOX more anyway.

And the replies that are stating that the update may just be highlighting a problem that the PC already had......THERE ARE ALMOST 40 CLICKS on the "I have the same problem" option THIS MONTH!!
