Windows update: something didn't go as planned every time i try to install an update

For me pesonaly I believe it is a Dell defect, it was a Huge mistake to purchase a Dell G3 3500 lap top when I have no issues with any android or apple devices I use. The Dell laptop is so bloated with malfunctioning software new from the factory for over a year and a half now I have been trying to debug the O.S. while killer wifi does not work nvidea does not work Alien ware does not work. windows 10 was defective and did not work so I downloaded windows 11 which works better than windows10 on this machine but not as good as windows 10 on my 15 year old Dell machine.. Bit locker was such a nucance I removed it. it reapeared a year later after an update, started itself up, and locked me out of my own computer, so I removed all bit locker software for the second time. after a year and a half of trying to get this brand new Dell laptop to work as well as the 15 year old Dell 9000 latitude I can still use although the hardware is sevearly worn out. the new Dell absoloutly does not. I am curious if every one having this Something didnt go as planed we are removing it, are using dell products.? That would help me narrow down the troubleshooting. None of the android or apple devices with several updates have had a single issue in the same time period ? Once again the Dell G3 is slow malfunctioning and awkward to troubleshoot. Has not worked properly since I got it.

You are probably right. I think the days of good Dells have passed. They always were pretty good with Laptops and Servers.

Thank you for spelling this out. Very helpful, this was my solution as well.

I'll add that in order to find out which is the correct disk/partition, go to Disk Management to look for the appropriate disks/partitions. For example; My C disk has my OS and it was Disk 0, and the 100MB partition was Partition 1.

Thanks again, this problem was annoying the heck out of me!

How do you actually do this? I’m unfamiliar with how to do partitions and disk management stuff

This fixed months of issues. Thanks!
