Normal exit from recover screen and hit F8 numerous times and received small window that you get giving you the option to pick drive you want to boot from. I tried them all and completed indicating unable to complete restore successfully. Selected show other restore points and luckily there were 3 others that popped up. Did the further repair hyperlink option and noticed two restore points on 20171115 with critical update description.

This morning is first time turning on PC since yesterday and failing to boot up. I've uninstalled AVG, run the windows updates again, let it automatically reboot and currently installing Avast anti-virus.Įdited by MSP2017, 16 November 2017 - 02:26 AM.Ģ0171116 10:36 UTC: Yesterday am I shut down computer and noticed msg. Bizarrely, given this error message, Windows then booted fine. Details: An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed. System restore finished by saying 'system restore did not complete successfully. I then tried system restore to a point from 3 days ago. I forced a reboot, tried safe mode again but it got stuck at the Reverting Changes screen that time and i gave up after 15 mins.

Do not turn off your computer.' That completed in like 3 mins, the pc reboot itself and then it got stuck loading normal windows again. sys file loading white text on black background, then brought up a promising looking 'Failure configuring windows updates. Sadly 'Last known good config' failed to load, as did Safe Mode. I visited one of the problem machines this afternoon. We then hid the KB4048957 & KB2952664 updates you mentioned and asked the users not to reboot/turn off until we know more. That said it failed to fix anything but then the PCs booted normally anyway. We managed to get two of them to boot by getting the users to attempt Startup Repair. Hardware varies from ancient core2duo machines to 2nd gen i3, with a range of motherboard manufacturers. Windows 7 32bit seems disproportionately affected, considering how few 32bit machines we have. Thankfully not every PC is affected - we have hundreds.

Five of the PCs we manage got hit with this issue today.
