so about a year ago i stopped this and put a 1 year suspension on it. now its started to try and install every other time i turn my pc on. "shutdown and update" option when shutting down pc so i hit it. next time i power on pc it hangs on a black screen and nothing happens unless i hit the reset button then its fine followed by a message ingame saying update did not finish.

how on earth do i stop this. I dont want to just suspend it for a year. nothing else is wrong with my pc it runs flawlessly so please dont offer virus advice or some other checks as i am 100% sure this isnt the problem.
 
im not resisting it. ive tried to let it install many times but my pc wont get to windows when it does install so i have to reset and then disable it. with there being almost zero guides telling us how to sort this problem i asked here and this made it so everytime i turn my pc on i dont have to reset it to get into windows so im pretty happy.

saying that though my windows defender now wont update which i guess is down to this. i might look into this next time ive got more than an hour or 2 on the gaming machine...
 
Ok so went to Windows and got the update adviser. He downloaded and updated. Now with the restart it's exactly the same apart from I can't do anything now. Even resetting doesn't fix it. It just does the same thing.

Finally tje blue screen with options comes up and non of them do anything for me. Even repair doesn't do anything.
 
Fallcreators edition Was a problem not uncommon when it came out. How can you not see that?

I done what people suggested at it failed again. It would normally just fail and say so when Windows booted but this time it wouldn't get to Windows. The screen after the bios options would just stay black. Nothing but a mouse cursor moving on a black background. Nothing would work at all. Eventually got the failed boot option but they all seemed to be stuck at certain points.

So this morning I took the sidesoff my case and had a look. I was going to unplug my Windows drive and see where that takes. And to my surprise one of the cables on that drive was a tiny bit loose. The PC has not moved for months and was working fine. Not a problem in the slightest so this was not something I had even considered. Plugged them in fully and I got the failed to boot options and it seems to have fixed it. Didn't check if the update had worked as I was going to work.was just relieved I didn't "have" to reinstall Windows.

you have not said here what the architecture of your system is ... amd from your other posts ? ... so, has this been a known issue for similar systems

why do you get AMD from my other posts? i actually have an i5 6600k. from before AMD was particularly good with cpus lol. i am very close to moving my pc to another case, being in a custom loops its very daunting to keep putting it off and wondering if i can creep an AMD motherboard and cpu in there lol.

Never heard this in 20 years of working with computers. The cable is either on or off. oh well, we where all wrong. :eek:

Me neither. So I wasn't really hopeful when seeing if it sorted it. Doesn't explain it not working when I decided to turn it off for a year though.

I sort a fresh install soon.
