URL: Windows 10 update to fix reboot loop problem |
|
Updates throw some computers into an unending reboot cycle.
"Comments start as early as 5 August and begin with a simple complaint: "Just received the first update to Windows 10 today and it failed to install."
This soon had a snowball effect, and forensics from the user community peg a number of problems on the patches. These include missing icons and a permanent loop installation that breaks down and restarts at anywhere between the 10 and 60 percent mark.
Microsoft has now released the KB 3081436 update to fix the problem, but Forbes reported that several Windows 10 users are still stuck in the reboot loop even after installing the patch."

After updating to Windows 10, several users have begun experiencing problems with video streaming, which prevent them from watching videos smoothly. Users who have upgraded to Windows 10 have taken to the Microsoft Community forum to vent their displeasure.
They claim that, while watching videos, the sound races ahead of the video clip, or everything turns green. Some users even complain of video lags and the inability to stream the videos from the latest Microsoft Edge browser.

Hi Dan,
I cancelled my auto updates because my puter kept
trying to update the last 3 mornings.
When I checked the updates, I saw that Microsoft had
tried to update me to Win 10 and failed several times.
So Ive blocked updates for now because am afraid of Win
10 till they sort out the bugs.
Should I continue to update other updates or would they
be related to Windows 10 do you think?
From a heat/brain-addled fellow bopper:-) Trish

I've never heard of win 10 auto update. I have a win ten icon on my
tray. It is up to me whether or not to click on it and accept win 10.
At one time I did activate it to receive win 10. I changed my mind
and canceled. I turned off my auto update a number of months
ago. I update manually now.

Hi Dan,
I never even clicked on the icon that was sitting in
the tray, but it ballooned up itself, and I clicked it
closed.
I checked my update history, because of the daily
morning updates to find this: Upgrade to Windows 10
Home
Installation date: 8/16/2015 12:43 PM
Installation status: Failed
So I went and uninstalled the update KB3035583 for Win
10.

One of the first things I have always done on any new OS install is to turn off updates.
I have *NEVER* updated.
I have *NEVER* had a problem.
I know this is going to sound like I'm putting down computer users, but most of the problems folks experience is because they are ignorant of how to properly use a computer. I mean the word 'ignorant' in the dictionary definition of 'having a lack of knowledge', not as a pejorative. Computers and operating systems and software and the internet are NOT simple things that someone can just start pushing buttons and be OK, no more than you'd hand the keys to a car to a 15 year old and tell them to drive to Vegas and expect them to be OK. You have to learn to properly use a car before you can be let out on your own. You should learn to properly use a computer.

I agree with you. (did hell just freeze over? :P ) But the market caters to the least common denominator - the ignorance of the consumer. And Windows isn't the only software that does this.
I would counter that if people knew more about computers they'd know that this 'free' Windows 10 upgrade is beta in disguise and those using it are the guinea pigs.
That's why I emphasize I'm not putting anyone down. I just want them to become smarter about their computers and online activities so they don't get suckered.
Personally, as far as Windows goes, I never go to the next version until after the first service pack. At that point you can consider it reasonably stable. Then again, I'm a few versions behind at the moment anyway.
In some circles such as the open source community, the distinction between stable and beta is made very clear. There are a few pieces of software I use where I don't mind testing the beta because I am interested in using the substantially new features. But I know exactly what I am getting into, and the beta is installed along side the stable release in case there's a problem and it doesn't work out. Even though I'm on Windows, nearly all of my software is free open source stuff. In fact, on my desktop there are only 3 icons to software that I paid for, and two of them are games.
All the BS about Win10 will get ironed out and either MS will be forced to change it to meet the demands of those looking out for the consumer, or there will be third party solutions made available to lock it down. But it will take time and the suckers will have to test it first.
The question is, do you want to be a sucker? I say be smart and let someone else have all the trouble.
Caveat emptor.

Thanks for your input Brian aka Skywise. However, I
would like to point out that I am not ignorant.
Windows posted a flashtab about 2 months ago, on my
desktop for me to download the beta version and get Win
10 "for free." I totally ignored it, as I certainly
did not want to be a "guinea pig." I always research
any product before I download. I had already read
advanced posts about Win 10 and would be leery to
download it, like any Windows product, until they have
ironed out all the bugs [if that is ever possible].
However, I assumed it was up to the consumer to decide
whether to download Windows 10, or not. I did NOT
expect it to be forcibly foisted upon me, and only
realized this when I checked the Windows updates.
Hence, I have now blocked the updates.

I agree with you. Nothing should be forced on the consumer.
I not only turn off OS updates, but I also look for such settings on software I use.
If I find the need for an update, I'll explicitly go get one.
Again, to emphasize, I mean no put down. I'm glad you were aware enough to catch on to what was happening. Microsoft and other software companies are really trying to change the way software is implemented and I don't really think it's for the benefit of the consumer.
