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.
I'm batting .500 on this Build, with 17093 going on fine on my desktop but shunting my Surface Pro 3 into the Infinite Boot Blues. I have a Media Creation USB drive I created about 6 months ago (can't remember the build). Does it matter? Should I create a new one?
- Judging from Jennifer's post above and my experience, also above, you may not need to. Fiddling around with some repair options may let you boot into 17093 and roll back through the Windows Update UI.
Thanks for the heads up and thanks to Jennifer for posting. I used an old USB recovery media, followed in Jennifer's tracks and got into the advanced and troubleshooting options and went through a few different attempts, and was eventually able to rollback successfully and thereafter roll forward and get 17093 working.
