Common causes after a Windows 10 feature/quality update that break Start or produce repeated errors: filesystem corruption that prevents an update from finishing, device-driver or firmware incompatibility (several AMD reports in early 2018 are noted by ), and corruption of Start/Cortana components or the user profile. The thread already points at disk and driver problems (see and ). Useful diagnostics to capture: the exact, verbatim error text, the Windows build (winver), and whether sign-in reaches the desktop.

A practical, non-destructive troubleshooting order that often narrows the cause:

  • Collect the exact error message and a saved screenshot.
  • Use Advanced Startup (Shift+Restart) to access Safe Mode and System Restore.
  • From a recovery Command Prompt, run component-store and file-repair utilities in this order:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

If those tools report unresolved corruption, proceed to Startup Repair or a repair (in-place) install from Windows 10 media.

Additional diagnostic actions: inspect Event Viewer (Application and System logs) for error codes and failing modules around the failure time; uninstall the most recent Windows update from Advanced Startup if present; test with a newly-created local account to rule out profile-specific Start failures; and roll back or clean-install graphics/chipset drivers (AMD cases were mentioned by ). If disk problems are suspected (signs of failed checks or I/O errors), schedule a full disk integrity check from recovery as suggested earlier by .

A last-resort path is rescue/backup of user data (rescue media or external drive) followed by a repair install or clean reinstall. Helpful data for further diagnosis in this thread: exact error text, winver output, CPU/vendor (AMD or Intel), and a screenshot or pasted error text.

Just last week I lucked into a "Windows 10 update ruined my PC." A relative told me this and I wanted this one to see what it was.

Nope. Was not what they thought it was. In this case the video mode was not optimum and an update was pending but would not install.

For a very good reason. On boot there was a clue given. "Press a key to skip disk check...." And no disk check would happen. Right or wrong I've seen this since Windows NT (for some that would be Windows XP.)

I opened a command prompt and typed in CHKDSK C: /F /R /X and then rebooted. The disk check ran, corrected some errors, the update installed, and rebooted to find the machine back to normal.

-> And here lies a huge problem. I call it the toaster problem. We have reached the point that folk expect a Windows PC to just work without having to know anything about this beast.

Nothing could be further from reality.

When you fix yours, share what it was.

It would have helped if you would have told us exactly what the error is. We dont have magic Crystal Balls.

Speak for yourself ;-)

That said, simply stating 'some errors appear' is never going to solicit the help the OP is looking for. So, Hammad, try again but tell us exactly what errors you are experiencing and maybe we can help you

I want to add screenshot but there is no image adding option in reply box.

Are you not seeing the paperclip in the edit toolbar?

I guess your computer has a AMD processor. All our Intel serves upgraded fine, but all our AMD servers were unusable after the upgrade. All AMD had to be reinstalled from scratch

@Phillipe, that's terrible. At our office not one glitch but few AMD machines.

Windows Server generally has been dead stable. Can you share what Windows Server version this was and a news link?
