    A recent Windows 10 update is breaking some PCs with installation failures, display problems and even unwanted system crashes on some machines.

    Both the KB4579311 and KB4577671 updates are encountering error messages during installation for many users, with installation stalling out at 80 or 90 percent, or even at 100%, or getting stuck on the final restart to complete the update.

    According to WindowsLatest, these installation hangups are often reported with one of the following error codes: 0x8007000d, ox800f0988, 0x800f0831, 0x80073701, 0x80070002, 0x800f081f.

    Other problems being reported by users in Microsoft's support forums and Reddit include display monitor problems, blue or black screens, and even unwanted system crashes.

    Users have reported unusually long download and install times, and failure to install the update. Even when the update installs properly, other reported issues include system crashes, and problems using File Explorer, printing and driver issues that impact speakers and Bluetooth audio

No issue's here updating to this new version from 2004 (20H1).  Quick 5 minute update.

 
I think I'll hold off on the update.

You need to do more research before doing Windows updates.
Different people have different experiences in doing computer upgrades,only by summarizing what others have experienced will they be closer to success.

This tutorial is a very comprehensive summary of Windows Update.

I’ve had a few crashes that Have increased in frequency. It is either the W10, nvidia, driver, or PX1.
 
Today the crash was bad enough to have W10 go into its “Scanning and repairing drive (C)...” mode.
 
I’ve read where this can take several hours or more to complete yet I do not see the Drive access light flashing at all. Even then a repair is nothing more than isolating the bad sectors. This is a brand new 2TB Samsung SSD so I don’t want to cause any more problems if I can avoid doing so.
 
so my question is this. Should I let it continue to Scann/repair for however long it might be, or is a shut down and restart ok?


thanks

The only problem I had was with Apple iTunes.
 
iTunes would not load properly and I could only close iTunes using “end ask.” After about five of those, iTunes started working correctly.

20H2 installed no issues at the moment😼
