    What should I do about this automatic repair problem?

    Hey guys. Last year my pc would go to automatic repair screen when booting up after a windows 10 update. I was able to access my files without logging in so I grabbed what was important on a usb drive and reinstalled windows. I just had another update recently and it said automatic repairs when I booted up the following morning. However, it managed to remove the update and I got into my computer. But the next day, I booted up my pc and it went to automatic repair again and it did not work. I went and selected the option to remove the update manually but it said that it could not. Do I need to do the same thing I did last time or is there some way to remove the update that seems to have been interrupted? Also, am I somehow interrupting the updates or is there a problem with my computer and updating? I selected shut down after update and then turned the power off once it finished. I’m not very technical so excuse any stupidity please. If you don’t understand something, please let me know.

    can’t rule out a failing hard drive.
    weird how it only does it after an update though.

    for me, I’d be backing up what I need and downloading the latest Windows version via the Windows Media Creation Tool supplied by Microsoft.
    download the image and create a bootable USB drive from it.
    then use that to reload a fresh copy of the latest version onto you PC.

    not only are you then ensuring there are no residual issues from your setup that may be causing your issue but the whole process of reloading Windows then all your programs and restoring your data will be a nice stress test for the hard drive.

      Ok, thanks. I guess I’ll look in to that method to make sure this I don’t lose anything and I’ll have to reinstall ;_;
