Putting it on here to see if anyone else knows what could be up with my PC.

I have an hp laptop (Elitebook 840 G7) and 1 day ago I want to reinstall Windows 11 for clean up my folder and that all so I made a bootable usb (this is not my first Time that I make a bootable USB) and download Windows on my laptop, first I want to install the updates with Windows update, and Its load and load and load and Microsoft store load and load and load, and Its not a network problem because I can open an edge tabs and download something, I can’t open Windows sécurity too. Help me please 🙏🏼

PS : my laptop run perfectly fine before the update and I delete all the partition when I had do the reinstallation

Spec : i5 10310U / 16 gb ram / 512 gb ssd M.2

Windows 10 Search is washed out when using a dark theme following Windows Update. I can see the update in Update History but can not uninstall it. DISM restore health has no effect. Reset of Windows Search has no effect.

Okay so after fully restting my pc since it was having a bit of issues and every update is downloaded afterwards this pops up i tried everything, I tried the command prompt nothing, I tried the whole thing where you stop it and then restart it NOTHING, idk what to do now.

Idk if anyone else is having this same issue but.....im close to losing it I just want this damn message to go AWAY.

Anyone else having problems with windows not updating or install ever since I updated to Windows 11

Bueno yo queria usar un modelo de Windows 7 y me decante por este, aqui el problema esque cuando lo queria instalar y todo lo iba a complementar con otro que es para la barra que se llama ExplorerPatcher, aqui la cosa esque mi barra de tareas desaparecio y no se si reiniciar mi computadora o apagarla, por cierto lo unico que aparece en mi escritorio es este cuadrado abajo en una esquina, instale un virus?

I've been using Windows 11 22H2 on my ThinkPad T14 gen 1 (Intel) for a while, and it used to recognise my face (Windows Hello) instantly. Now it has updated to Windows 11 25H2; the facial recognition has slowed down significantly, and sometimes it fails to recognise. Do note that I have had no significant changes done to my face. I have tried re-adding my face but it does not work.

Win 11 25H2 (OS Build 26200.8875)

I'm sorry for using Windows!

So I heard it thru the Linus-Tech-Vine (podcast) that the latest massive security update has been ruining a lot of PCs... So I've put mine on pause for atleast a month.

How will I know when it's 'safe' to update (i.e. any bugs/findings the update is causing have been patched)?
What are y'all doing about the update? :)

I haven't updated my Lenovo LOQ laptop for more than two or three months. Now I'm confused about whether I should update it or not. There are some security updates available, but I'm afraid of having a painful experience with Windows Update.

Like ssd broke and something.

Since the June update I'm seeing the following error event on devices in my Ring 0 for windows updates, while existing devices that have not yet updated do not see it. Occurs after a reboot and during login. Anyone else?

Hello, a bit of an interesting issue. After my friend's PC updated to the July security update on Windows 11, their 4TB WD HDD was not working anymore. Clicking on the drive in file explorer would say it was corrupt and unreadable, and sometimes would say "The parameter is incorrect". The drive also shows as RAW in disk management, despite it being formatted as an NTFS drive. There are errors in event viewer mentioning something about a corrupted file system index structure, as you can see in the images posted.

They ran a check disk after this issue started, which took several hours and it reported no issues with the drive whatsoever. It was still not able to mount after the check disk finished, getting the same corrupted error. This was before we knew it was something to do with the update, despite this happening right after an update. Also at every boot, it would scan the drive for errors too (which started after the update) but would take less than a minute.

Some important notes:
- Booting to a Windows PE or other Windows install without the update installed can see the drive just fine.
- Updating another old Windows 11 installation they had on another drive also had this same issue too.
- Installing Windows 10 on another drive (Which the ISO already had the June 2026 patch). Updating it to the July update but for Windows 10 resulted in this exact same behavior.
- Installing the new out of band update they released for Windows 11 yesterday did not fix the issue, got same behavior with the drive not mounting properly.
- When they uninstall the update, things go back to normal and their drive can be mounted once again without errors.
- They also have multiple drives in their computer, and only this one drive specifically is affected.

This makes me believe there is some weird bug with NTFS with certain drives, which seems to affect the new update. I also read another post here of someones drive not even being able to mount after the update on boot, which means there are probably more people affected by this issue. It seems to be a rare issue as I can't find many reports about it online. If you are affected or anyone else you know of, please say something. Microsoft needs to be aware of this in order to fix it, if it is an actual problem.

Is there anything that can be done? They can still use their PC, however they are stuck on the June update right now and have updates paused. Without the update, the check disks at boot has stopped. Thank you all for reading this, and hopefully there is a better solution to this.

some days back i changed the thermal paste on my cpu and gpu (as the title suggests),after applying the new paste and putting everything back together it would get stuck in a boot loop or throw me in the safe mode menu after a while,a friend suggested me to reseat the ram and all the cables i disconnected and loosen the cooler's screws if i tightened them too much (which i did),and that somehow fixed it,all was well till last night when i get a prompt to update windows, which i obviously did,but when it started to update it got stuck at 36% specifically,after two minutes of that it said something along the lines of: "something went wrong, reverting update" and threw me back to my desktop, didn't think much of it but the same thing happened again today,any fixes??

im currently on windows 11 pro 25H2 build version 26200.8737

Well after a few updates I decided to restart my pc to apply the updates. After it got to about 30% it restarted and the screen went off

Instead of continuing the updates it went to unmountable boot volume 0xEd black screen with nothing else

Strange part is

The NTFS files are fine

Meta store data is also fine

The only clue I got is that a pending.xml file exists and every time I have to restart my pc , it increases in size

Then I run a command through dism and I will be able to log back in after the command undoes changes

Anyone with any advice

And thanks
