Windows reboot after installing an update

Hi,

In last week, some Windows 10 machines made an update (i think the problema is the update) and then after boot, the pc´s are are always reboot. Already tried to restore to a previous restore point, repair boot, etc. But nothing the problema remains.
best regards

That's what image backups are for. Don't have any?
Please describe your reboot loop - do you see a bluescreen of death?

Hi,

Backups i have but data only, not entire system image.
When computer starts SO tries to repair boot and then show recovery options.
Yesterday (2/13/2018) was Patch Tuesday and new updates out for Windows 10. On one test machine, make a Windows 10 USB key from the Media Creation Link and see if you can Repair or Reinstall from that (you have data backed up).

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Repair installations can only be started from within an already running windows, so that won't work on unbootable systems.
Please quote your bluescreen. (Don't see it? Turn off "automatic restart after crash/failure").
That is why I suggested reinstall

Ok.

Is your machine based on an Intel CPU or AMD CPU?

Hi,

Intel.
Intel CPU's are working fine at all my clients.

Try as suggested with Vendor Recovery Media.
@author: do you know how to offline-modify the registry? If you do, please deactivate the spectre/meltdown patch like this:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\offline_mapped_branch\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\offline_mapped_branch\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

Hi,

It seems that for some reason  partitions has disappeared.
How do you figure that?

ASKER

Hi,

Diskpart ->listvol

The data partition appears but not the "boot" partition created by Windows 10, is clear. But in a system working well has some files.
You can copy and paste the output here so that we understand. What you share is not understandable.
are you sure your boot priority is  set to the correct disk ? you check that in the bios

Hi,

Volume 3 no files and is empty, in a working pc this volume as files and space is occupied.
Look, If you don't want to share the output, I cannot help you. "empty" is maybe due to the view options in explorer. If system files are hidden from view, it may look empty, although the boot files are there.

Sorry,

Yes McKnife
Yes nobus
Did you know how to execute the command (after mounting the offline registry)? I mean, did you just execute it (and it failed), or did you do it right, the commands succeeded, you dismounted the reg hive and rebooted to no avail?
it seems one word is all i get...sorry - ...but...

HI,

I've tried everything at the bios level, repair boot sector, chkdsk, etc., and everything you suggested. I think I'll do a new installation. I cloned the disk so that I could always test with the original installation.
it's a shame how the MS updates "fix" things
i wonder why people keep accepting that as normal...

Hi,

today I was aware that updates made yesterday and today in windows 10 "uninstalled" a series of programs.
Thanks for the update and I was happy to help.
