My desktop is three years old and have worked perfectly fine since I bought it. I've had no reason to not do the updates I've been offered. I should have been more careful...
A week ago there was a new update. As usual I chose to update and close, knowing that in the morning it would do its job before it started up.
Not this morning.
It got in to a loop of Automatic Repair, who failed every time to fix anything, instead offered me windows new options to fix different problems.
I tried to uninstall the latest updates. Wouldn't work as they weren't completed. Set it to another earlier time didn't work. Back to factory settings didn't work.
Couldn't get to Safe mode. Tried to turn off the Automatic Repair through cmd, but it didn't find the file.
Then I clicked F2 to do a check of the system and got a message that there was something wrong with the SSD hard drive
I called HP support today finally and was told I could as well just buy me a new hard drive because fixing it would probably cost more.
Thank you so very much Microsoft!
I lost so much I have no idea if I can ever get back. Pictures, documents, work.
The only thing I'm happy about right now is that I'm using an older computer for Photoshop and all my pictures. It's not good but it's at least working.
Almost impossible to play slots on though but not much to do about that.
This is a warning to you all about what could happen if you are not aware that updates can cause problems. Don't just accept them. Read up on them first and keep everything else up to date.
Besides that I hope you all have a great summer
