Windowsupdate install(Jan 2016)causes"windows failed to start"everytim
Too add some background I finished building my PC two days ago, the 17th of Jan so I wonder why it still needed updates after first booting .
The problem is that a couple minutes after I got the some notifications for a windows update saying it is a needed update so I decided I would let it update the first time also I believe some updates from 2013 and 2014 were included among them.
The first time I try the update it seems to be successful until at 99% of the update completion the screen went black,automatically restarted the system with the MSI bios options then went straight to a "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." prompt at the top with the Recovery option and the start windows normally option.
Obviously starting the windows normally didn't work, so I tried the recovery option of automatically "repairing" which didn't properly work for some reason, even though it allowed me to access my account again some files were deleted like Uplay and Steam and some of my games though it left the desktop shortcuts.
I thought hey, maybe it would work a second time so I let it update again and BOOM the same problem again. I googled other solutions beside the "automatic repair" option so I tried pressing all of F8-F12 and none of them showed me to the advance boot options menu, so I decided to go with the recovery options again and then again it deleted my redownloaded Uplay and Steam and then some documents I had written before trying to update again. And again I had to install the same update, this time I was hoping it would work plus I backupped any of the documents I worked on till about a few hours ago so I didn't mind if it happens again cause I just wanna update so I can use some programs like adobe, AVS pro which require "the latest windows 7"so I tried it for the third time and my gahd the same problem and even automatic repair from the recovery option doesn't work.
To add a little information, when I was asked to add my windows product key to link the key with my microsoft account for some reason it didn't work, but I didn't mind that cause I knew the key had to work cause it successfully booted from the install disk so I assume it's a legitimate install disc and key though I received two keys for some reason. I also bought the keys and install disc from Amazon, Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (OEM) System Builder DVD 1 Pack: Amazon.ca: Software this is the copy I bought. Honestly I think my windows is legitimate who knows, also anyways to get to the point any alternative methods to fix this? also do you think there is a hope I'll be able to update it successfully?
also I put my full specs into the registration but idk if appears when I start the thread, just in case MSI Geforce GTX 980, Intel Core I5-4590, 8 gb G skill rip jaws DDR3-1886, MSI Z97 gaming 5 Mobo, WD 1 TB CaviarBlue HDD, and Samsung 850 evo 250 gb. Please I want to be able to update thanks in advance!!
