I updated my Windows last night, shut down my PC, but when I restarted this morning I'm getting a BSoD after the initial Windows screen. I've tried to restore but for whatever reason by restores have been disabled at some point. Startup repair cannot help either. Is there a way to list recent updates via cmd and uninstall because I don't remember what updates I installed so I don't know the specific names. I do have another Windows install on a seperate HDD if that helps in any way?
Windows Update = BSoD - Need Assistance
- Thread starter Hessian
- Start date
Admittedly I haven't. I assumed that was purely for changes in the BIOS and assumed this was a Windows issue. I'll give it a go now.
Edit: Oh no, I was getting confused. Yes I've tried last know config. I was thinking of my motherboard recovery.

Nope tried that too 
I logged on to my other copies of Window and looked at recent updates so I now have a list that were most likely involved in the previous update. So is there a way for me to remove them via cmd when I attempt a Windows repair? I'm using Windows 7 btw

here is some information to get you started:
inspect the windowsupdate.log. If this is not showing any error it will atleast show what updates it tryed to install ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902093)
Check to see if this hotfix is known for problems as there might be direct fixes. Else you could try rolling back the hotfix.
The hotfixes and service packs Microsoft publishes for Windows come pre-equipped with their own rollback mechanisms that can be activated manually.

- Open the %SystemRoot% directory and look for a series of directories with the name $NTUninstallKBXXXXXX$, where XXXXXX is the Knowledge Base article number for the hotfix in question.
- Within that directory is another directory named spuninst.
- type batch spuninst.txt. This executes a batch-file version of the same recovery options.
I'm using Windows 7 x64, so as far as I know it act differently.
