Problem booting after installing 17093 build
I was able to boot finally after using the Windows Media Creation Tool to create new Windows 10 install usb, going into the bios and selecting to boot from usb, boot from it, and selecting Repair Windows. After fussing around with various options to repair the startup (all of which gave me errors) I reset the machine, went back into the bios, and suddenly had a second Master Boot Record to select. Booting from it worked! Thinking everything was fixed, I rebooted... and ran into the issue again. So I repeated the process and this time when I successfully booted and logged in, I went into settings and rolled back to a previous version of windows. Now everything boots fine with no reboot loops.
This whole incident has made me switch to the slow ring.
No, I had not messed with the boot record prior to this update! At one point in the past I had dual booted linux/windows on that box, but then I wiped it and started over with just the windows insider builds. I would love to be able to install the new build since the features sound really cool, but as it stands 17093 fubared my machine too much to trust that I can run the darn thing.
I also felt like I was drowning a bit trying things over and over until I finally got it to boot and could roll it back. I couldn't game at all Saturday when I went through this, which sucks.
My disk 0 is a Basic GPT, may be a Basic MBR disc 0 will work fine after the 17093 install. I'll try do convert my disc 0 to Basic MBR. We keep in touch.
