This past month has been a nightmare for me at work.
It seems a microsloth windoze update started crashing
our win-10 computers. One, or two, and somedays
three at a time . . . 'We' managed to 'fix' many of
them by re-storing them with an old image then the
IT guy had to 'put them back in the domain' so we
could actually use them.
This week I finally found a 'fix' and cured three out
of three. After totally crunching the production
managers computer which had gone down the day before.
And then another went out - this time with the same
problem I was having with the managers. It comes up
to a screen where I have to select which OS to boot
into and it refuses to let me get into safe mode.
The fix seems to be to boot into safe mode. Then
remove the updates which caused the problem and run
a couple of super-secret techie secrets to finish
clearing them out . . . But Windows 10 makes it
difficult to get into safe mode and when it goes
to that 'select which OS to boot' it seems to be
impossible to get into safe mode.
Anyway, one way to get around this headache is to
use AOMEI backupper and create a backup image of the
entire computer to another drive (or an external
drive) and when it goes plooey boot off an AOMEI
boot stick and restore the good image.
