nomoss Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 However, my laptop, using the same products, has just gone t*ts up.Every time I make a restart to install update KB4056892, or it decides to restart, it ends up with just a blue screen with the new Windows logo proudly in the middle.This cycle repeats ad infinitum.Nothing to do with this forum, but just saying.Apparently it's due to the latest W10 updates combined with an AMD processor.

W10 + Edge and I am expecting our top of the range up to date technical result to look like a pile of ------.Let's see if I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomoss Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Thanks for that ANO. I will try that right now.I uninstalled AVG AV some time ago, now using only Windows Defender on the laptop (which is only used when travelling).I have run all the diagnostic and repair options I could find via Settings, and am close to rolling back to W7 (if that even works) or giving it a float test.

AnOther Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Sh1t like this is why I don't like and won't allow forced updates.Just one of a number of reasons why Windows 10 will never be installed on any of my machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Well, that used up a quite a bit of my precious time!My laptop W10 version (1709, same as this PC) doesn't correspond to those listed in the link to MS Support mentioned in your link to MS Community, but I downloaded and opened the "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter package from MS Support.I ticked the offending update (KB3073930) in the list which eventually appeared, and after following the procedure I was told the repair had been made, and to retry the operation I had a problem with."Update and Security" still showed a restart required, so I did this once more, resulting in the usual long period of blue screens with reassurances that "we" are repairing the system, etc.After two more forced restarts to get the W10 desktop on the screen, on rechecking U & S, the system is now up to date, and is no longer requiring a restart.Fingers crossed, and thanks again ANO [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 An hour went by, so I "checked for updates", having "hidden" the nasty KB4056892.It has no longer found it and reports no updates are available, so no more futile restarts required.I hope.That was more successful than other "solutions" I have found in the past, most of which were as effective as taking Lemsip for a dose of clap.
