Excellent forum
W10 1703 (on a roll back)
Dell all in one, I7, 1tb, 16gb, Office 2016 - all was working PERFECTLY.
1.5yrs old.
All was well until 1709 came along. In the process of it's automatic upgrade it went dark for 3hrs then froze at black screen for 4 hrs.
So, I forced a repair and roll-back to 1703. Phew (I thought) back to a working PC, except, it's not quite working. Currently I have a number of issues eg:-
I have had to "hide" the 1709 update because it will not complete. It keeps freezing / trying to install, suggesting a restart etc..
SFC / Scannow will not complete
DISM - gets to 20% and will not work - in any mode
Boot up is in Reduced more (does not load normally)
When I download the ISO file to the desktop, I get blue spinning circle then nothing
2 days ago Back up stopped working (eek) - why 2 days ago - I cannot force and schedule is ignored. No error codes.
A few features within windows have stopped - eg advanced setting under backup will not open
Chrome fails to update
An Intel driver update file on the desktop, downloads but will not open
and more... (niggles)
Virus Software updates and works
Itunes update works
Most everything else.. works
Frankly, I do not really want 1709, but I do want my PC to work and update / perform back ups
My plan
Well after nearly 3 weeks of internet hunting and messing with MS Config, Reg Edit, MS tools to start and stop BITS etc... I'm no further forward.
I want to repair W10, saw the excellent YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldqFdcGL1X0 and have downloaded the USB version ready to load up onto my home PC, but before I attemtp this repair (nervous) need some confidence.
I'm looking for concrete re-assurance that I keep all my apps - EG:- Office 2016 and it's settings.., My Itunes library (my wife is a professional dance instructor - if I killed that, I'm a dead man). All my apps, the associations, the printer drivers.. blah blah blah... The YT video suggests this fix "keeps it all" but... (and excuse me for being thick) if it is such a great solution, why is it referenced more often ?
Bottom line
Will this fix just "fix" all the crap and leave me with (even down the desktop wallpaper) with a PC that feels like it was before the 1709 update killed me ??
Thanks buddies... I have the file waiting based on what you say next !!
