I keep getting a dead system on reboot
I have a HP Pavilion laptop with an I7 processor (Kaby Lake). When I updated twice in the last few days it looked like it worked properly but when I reboot, after a few seconds I have a dead system and had to revert back to the previous version.
However, once I have the previous version running, the upgrade downloads again so the next time I reboot, it gets installed, and then on rebooting I ended up with a dead system again. I had to stop the automatic updates.
I "chated" to a Microsoft support person and he provided the following instructions to turn off the automatic updates. Once I am ready again to try it I am to select the "Check for updates" button in Windows Update.
1. Open the run box (windows key + R key), type in it " services.msc".
2. It will open a box, search for " Bit driver locker encryption ". Right click on it and change the automatic/ manual to disable > hit Apply and Ok.
3. Now, search for " Cryptographic services ". Right click on it and change the automatic/ manual to disable > hit Apply and Ok.
4. Now, search for " Windows installer ". Right click on it and change the automatic/ manual to disable > hit Apply and Ok. (Note: for me, it was set to “manual” and I could not change it so I was told to ignore it)
5. Now, search for " Windows updates ". Right click on it and change the automatic/ manual to disable > hit Apply and Ok.
So I will try in a few weeks again to see if it improves.
