Every second Tuesday, Microsoft releases a new batch of updates for its operating systems, which are installed on all computers through the Windows Update service (updates are received from servers Windows Update), internal WSUS or manually using . In most cases, updates fix a specific vulnerability or problem (bug) in Windows or other products. However, in some cases, new updates may cause various problems in the system (due to incomplete testing, engineering errors, incompatibility with hardware, etc.), and installed update needs to be removed. This is easy to do (see article). But what should you do if, after installing the update, the system does not boot, displaying blue screen death (BSOD)? In this article we will look at just such a case: how to remove problematic updates in Windows 10/8/7 if the system does not boot.

First of all, check whether the system boots in one of the safe modes (enough 3 times in a row interrupt the system boot with the power off button).

Advice. If your computer stops booting after updating the Windows 10 build with the “ ” error, you need to use the system recovery method from the link.

If Windows does not boot after a crooked update safe mode, you need to boot from any available disk or flash drive: this can be a Windows recovery environment (), Windows installation disk, ERD (aka) or another boot disk.

Note. Windows 10 and 8, if the system does not boot, the recovery environment with the command line should automatically load.

In our case, I will boot the computer from the installation Windows disk 10x64.

Advice. Any installation disk is suitable for downloading (the main condition is compliance with the OS bit depth), taking into account compatibility. So installation Windows image 10 can be used to restore Windows 7, but vice versa will not work, because... Older OS versions may not support all commands and options.

On the second screen prompting you to start installation, you need to click Repair Computer or press the keyboard shortcut Shift+F10.

In the first case, select Troubleshoot -> Command Prompt(Command line).

In the command prompt window that opens, you need to determine the drive letter that is assigned to your Windows system partition (this may not be the C:\ drive).

Issue the command: DISKPART

List the partitions in the system: list volume

End the diskpart session with the command: exit

In our example it is clear that system disk letter assigned D:\.

Let's display a list of packages installed on the system located on the specified disk:

If you know which specific update (KB) caused the problem, its number can be used as a filter:

DISM /Image:D:\ /Get-Packages /format:table | find "4056887"

Or you can filter the list by installation date:

DISM /Image:D:\ /Get-Packages /format:table | find “01/18/2018”

Note. If the list of updates is very large and you don’t know exactly which one latest updates caused BSOD, their full list can be uploaded to text file and open it using notepad (you can use the search in it).

DISM /Image:D:\ /Get-Packages /format:table > d:\updates.txt
Notepad d:\updates.txt

Now you need to copy the identifier of the problematic package to the clipboard (highlight the package name in command line and press Enter to paste the text - just right-click).

You can use the following command to remove the update:

DISM /Image:D:\ /Remove-Package /PackageName:Package_for_KB4056887~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.0

If you don't know exactly which specific update caused the problem, remove all recently installed packages one by one (rebooting and checking the system).

After removing the "update" bug, try booting Windows into normal mode. The system should boot normally

If you have an MSDaRT recovery disk, uninstalling updates is even easier. Just boot from the MSDaRT disk (the bit size must be the same), select Diagnostics -> Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset. In the list of utilities you need to select Hotfix Uninstall(Remove patches).

Just highlight which updates you need to remove and click Further.

To understand why Windows 10 does not start, you need to determine after what actions the problem arose: reinstalling programs or removing the system software or .

If before the problem the system worked stably and the black screen did not appear, then you may need to check the hardware of the device for a breakdown.

Computer won't turn on after update

In the window that opens, select the tile called “Diagnostics” and then the “Recovery” option. The system will do everything for you.

Wait a little and all the missing components will be installed and the computer will restart.

If Windows does not start after diagnostics and the black screen is still present, you should roll back the updates and return to the old version of the operating system.

Microsoft may not have fixed the installation issue for your device yet.

To roll back the OS to a previous version, use the above-mentioned diagnostic window. Click the diagnostics tile, then the advanced options tab.

Start System Restore:

In the window that opens, you will see all existing restore points and the date they were created. Select a point with the current date and click “Continue”.

A few minutes ago installed system will be completely removed from the computer and, by restarting the computer, you will return to using the previous version of the OS.

Black screen when booting the system

If the system takes a long time to boot and you only see a black screen, you should try restoring the settings using the diagnostic window, as described in the previous paragraph of the article.

In most cases, the system restarts and starts working successfully again. Perhaps the black screen appeared due to incorrect installation drivers.

A black screen at startup may be a result of your computer being infected with virus or spyware.

In this case, you should completely reinstall the operating system without saving any user files and programs, because they can transfer the virus to the new OS.

Windows 10 takes a long time to load

If the volume random access memory your device is less than 2 GB, slow windows work 10 is quite normal.

Your computer hardware cannot handle updated version OS.

For more comfortable work, install one of the previous versions of Windows on your computer; it will not start for a long time.

Optimizing the operation of the OS includes the following steps:

• Removing all unnecessary programs from the startup menu. You can view the list of software that loads when you turn on the computer in Explorer; to do this, open the “Startup” tab;

Press the Ctrl+Shift+Esc and next buttons simultaneously to see all applications, just open the “Startup” section.

Then right-click on the unnecessary program and click disable.

• Scan your computer for malware using powerful antivirus software;
• Update the store and remove unnecessary applications from it, they may work in background and load the system;

Creating a disk with a restored version of the OS

You can only create a recovery disk using a working OS on another computer. Go to the control panel and enter in the search field next text: "recovery disk".

After which you will see the following results. Click on the first one.

After the next update Windows system 10 started to reboot cyclically. Namely, after the Windows 10 greeting, the following messages appear: trying to restore a previous version of Windows... Restoring the previous one Windows versions... It loads, loads, then shuts down, reboots and again the same picture.

Attempts to eliminate

There is no way to enter safe mode using F8.

Booting from installation disk Windows 10 and running System Restore

I tried using the tools " Windows Recovery using a restore point" and "Troubleshoot problems that prevent Windows from starting."

But I received a message that the system was not selected.

I decided to activate launch in safe mode via the command line.

bcdedit /set (default) safeboot minimal- for the next boot in safe mode.

Team bcdedit /deletevalue (default) safeboot - to cancel booting into safe mode.

But the system issued a message "Unable to open boot configuration data. The requested system device could not be found"

Cause

Most likely, the BCD bootloader configuration was damaged during the update.

Solution

So, to restore the bootloader configuration (BCD), you need to boot from the original installation disk with Windows 10 (or a recovery disk or a specially prepared bootable flash drive) and open a command prompt window: by selecting System Restore -> Diagnostics -> Command Line. Above are screenshots.

Let's launch diskpart:

Let's display a list of disks in the system:

Select the drive on which Windows 10 is installed (if HDD there is only one in the system, its index will be zero):

Let's display a list of partitions in the system:

Let's define an EFI partition, this can be done by size 100-450 MB and has file system FAT32. Let's remember the letter and index assigned to the EFI partition and the partition with installed Windows 10. If the EFI partition does not have a letter, then assign an arbitrary drive letter to the hidden EFI partition:

assign letter=V:

Finishing work with diskpart:

Let's go to the directory with the bootloader ( boot) on a hidden section. Depending on the situation, the directory may be located in different folders. Need to find the folder boot. As a rule, you can go to it using this command:

cd /d v:\efi\microsoft\boot\

Using the utility bcdboot.exe Let's recreate the BCD storage by copying the boot environment files from the system directory:

bcdboot C:\Windows /L ru-ru /S V: /F ALL

Please note that the Windows partition may have a different letter; this can be seen in diskpart.

Let's restart the computer.

Windows 10 is an imperfect system and problems are common, especially when installing updates. There are a lot of mistakes and ways to solve them. First of all, it all depends on at what stage the problem arose and whether it was accompanied by code. We will consider all possible cases.

The computer froze during the update process

If your computer freezes when updating Windows 10, you need to find the cause of the problem and fix it. To be able to do this, you need to interrupt the system update.

First you need to make sure that the computer is really frozen. If nothing changes at all within 15 minutes or some actions are repeated cyclically for the third time, the computer can be considered frozen.

How to abort an update

If the update starts to install, you most likely won't be able to simply restart your computer and return it to normal; the installation will retry every time you restart. This problem does not always occur, but it is very common. If you encounter it, you must first interrupt the system update, and only then eliminate the cause of the problem:

1. Restart your computer using one of the following methods:
   • press the reset button;
   • hold down the power button for 5 seconds to turn off the computer, and then turn it on;
   • turn off the computer from the network and turn it on again.
2. When you turn it on, immediately press the F8 key.
3. Click on the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" option on the system boot option screen.

   Select "Safe Mode with Command Line Support"

4. Open the Start menu after the system starts, type cmd and open Command Prompt as an administrator.

   Open Command Prompt as an administrator after the system starts

5. Enter the following commands in sequence:
   
6. Restart your computer. The system will start in normal mode.
7. After eliminating the cause of the problem, enter the same commands, but replace the word “stop” with “start”.

How to eliminate the cause of freezing

There can be many reasons for being stuck receiving updates. In most cases, you will see an error code message after 15 minutes of inactivity. What to do in such cases is described at the end of the article. However, it happens that no message appears, and the computer continues to endlessly try. We will consider the most popular cases of these.

Stuck at the “Getting updates” stage

If you've been seeing the "Getting Updates" screen for about 15 minutes without any progress, you shouldn't wait any longer. This error is caused by a service conflict. All that is required of you is to disable the automatic Windows updates and start checking for updates manually.

1. Press combination Ctrl keys+ Shift + Esc. If Task Manager opens in a simplified view, click More Details.

   If Task Manager opens in a simplified form, click More details

2. Go to the “Services” tab and click on the “Open Services” button.

   Click on the "Open Services" button

3. Find the Windows Update service and open it.

   Open Windows Update service

4. Select the startup type “Disabled”, click on the “Stop” button if it is active, and confirm the changes made. After this, the updates should install without problems.

   Select the startup type “Disabled” and click on the “Stop” button

Stuck at 30 - 39%

If you are upgrading from Windows 7, 8 or 8.1, updates will be downloaded at this point.

Russia is big, but there are almost no Microsot servers in it. Due to this, the download speed of some packages is very low. You may have to wait up to 24 hours for the entire update to download.

The first step is to run the Update Center diagnostics to prevent an attempt to download packages from a non-working server. To do this, press the Win + R key combination, enter the command msdt /id WindowsUpdateDiagnostic and click OK.

Press the Win + R key combination, enter the command msdt /id WindowsUpdateDiagnostic and click OK

Also try upgrading your current version of Windows (without upgrading to Windows 10). Once complete, try upgrading to Windows 10 again.

If this doesn't help, you have 2 options:

• install the update overnight and wait until it finishes;
• use alternative way updates, for example, download the Windows 10 image (from the official website or torrent) and update from it.

Stuck at 44%

Update 1511 was accompanied by a similar error for some time. It is caused by a conflict with the memory card. The bug in this update package has been fixed for a long time, but if you somehow encountered it, you have 2 options:

• remove the SD card from the computer;
• update via Windows Update.

If this doesn't help you, free up 20 GB free space on the system disk.

Computer froze after update

As is the case with problems during the update process, you will most likely see one of the code errors, the solution to which is described below. But this does not always happen. In any case, the first thing you need to do is get out of the frozen state. You can do this in the same way as if you get stuck during the update process: press F8 when you turn on the computer and select “Safe Mode with Command Prompt Support.”

If you haven't seen the error code, try everything following methods one by one.

Getting error information

Black screen problem

The problem of the black screen is worth highlighting separately. If the display shows nothing, this does not mean that your computer is frozen. Press combination Alt keys+ F4 and then Enter. Now there are 2 options for the development of events:

• if the computer does not turn off, wait half an hour to prevent a delayed update, and proceed to restore the system as described above;
• If the computer turns off, you have a problem playing back the picture. Do all the following methods in turn.

Switching between monitors

The most popular reason for this problem is incorrect identification of the main monitor. If you have a TV connected, the system can set it as the main one even before downloading the necessary drivers for its operation. Even if there is only one monitor, try this method. Before downloading all the necessary drivers, errors can be very strange.

1. If you have multiple monitors connected, turn off all but the main one and try restarting your computer.
2. Press the Win + P key combination, then the down arrow key and Enter. This is switching between monitors.

Disabling Fast Startup

Accelerated startup involves delaying the activation of some system components and neglecting preliminary analysis. This may cause an "invisible" monitor.

1. Restart your computer in safe mode (press F8 while turning on).

Code errors, their causes and solutions

Here we will list all the error codes that are associated with updating Windows 10. Most of them can be solved quite simply and do not require detailed instructions. The extreme method, which is not mentioned in the table, is complete reinstalling Windows 10. If nothing helps you, use it and install the best one right away. latest version to avoid a problematic update.

Instead of "0x" the error code may read "WindowsUpdate_".

Complex solutions

Some of the methods listed in the table are complex. Let's look at those with which difficulties may arise.

Reconnecting the problematic component

To disable, for example, the Wi-Fi module, it is not at all necessary to open the computer. Almost any component can be reconnected through the “Task Manager”.

1. Right-click on the Start menu and select Device Manager. It can also be found through search or in the Control Panel.

   Right-click on the Start menu and select Device Manager

2. Right-click on the problematic component and select “Disable device.”

   Disconnect the problematic component

3. Turn the device back on in the same way.

   Turn on the problematic component

Clearing lists of scheduled tasks and startups

If an unwanted process is included in the startup list, its presence may be equivalent to the presence of a virus on your computer. A scheduled task to start this process can have a similar effect.

Regular Windows tools 10 may be useless. It's better to use CCleaner right away.

1. Download, install and run CCleaner.
2. Open the “Service” section and the “Startup” subsection.

   Open the “Service” section and the “Startup” subsection

3. Select all processes in the list (Ctrl + A) and disable them.

   Select all processes in the list and disable them

4. Go to the “Scheduled Tasks” tab and cancel all of them in the same way. Then restart your computer.

   Select all tasks in the list and cancel them

Disabling the firewall

Windows Firewall - built-in system protection. It is not an antivirus, but it can prevent some processes from accessing the Internet or limit access to important files. Sometimes the firewall makes mistakes, which can result in one of the system processes being restricted.

1. Open Control Panel, go to the System and Security category and open Windows Firewall.

   Open Windows Firewall

2. On the left side of the window, click on the inscription “Turn on and off...”.

   Click on the inscription “Turn on and off...”

3. Check both “Disable...” and click “OK”.

   Check both “Disable...” and click “OK”

Restarting the Update Center

As a result of the Update Center operation, critical errors may occur that will interfere with the main processes of this service. Restarting the system does not always help solve this problem; restarting the Update Center itself will be more reliable.

1. Press the Win + R key combination to bring up the Run window, type services.msc and press Enter.

   In the Run window, type the command to call the services and press Enter

2. Scroll to the bottom of the list and open the Windows Update service.

   

There may be two reasons:

• - or you have viruses and all sorts of dubious programs with malicious content on your computer,

• - or while the system is running, many other applications are running in the background.

With the first one, everything is clear - you need to check and clean your computer from suspicious programs.

With the second you need to perform a simple sequence of actions.

Below is a detailed list of first aid instructions for your PC:

1. Disk with installation software operating system or any other drive with the above content and having an installer function.

2. It is recommended to run the installation of software for updating Windows 10 from a disk in safe mode - this eliminates the possibility of installing additional utilities and system drivers that you do not need.

in the Task Manager panel or press the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

4. The window list will display the names of all programs that automatically start when the system starts. It is they, or rather a large number of them, that cause the Windows 10 update error. Choose only those that are really necessary. Disable unnecessary ones by right-clicking and going to the context menu.

This algorithm of steps will save you from bugs after updating Windows 10.

In particularly advanced cases, when the Windows 10 update error is still a problem, resetting the settings will help. That is, you need to roll back the system to the previous restore point.

Here everything is done very simply, the process is not much different from the “seven”:

1. First you need to restart your computer.

2. When loading a black screen (loading BIOS system) click on F8 - we will be automatically redirected to the recovery partition.

3. Go to the Diagnostics section, from where we go to Additional options, and from there to System Restore.

4. From the proposed options, select the first type of rollback and click on the Next button. It should be mentioned here that the computer itself creates system restore points; you should not delete them, because at least, that's all - they may be needed just to reset the settings.

5. Mark the selected rollback point. This means that the system settings will be reset and the current version of the OS will be deleted after updating Windows 10.
