Windows10 2004 update error

[udg]

Hi all,
it keeps failing and restarting my notebook.
Blue screen, message "kernel mode heap corruption", then restart. When the OS starts I can see that a service named "Modern setup host" takes even 100% CPU resources.
I hate the "automatic, mandatory" updates. In particular those regarding the OS. It's MY PC, mr. Gates!

Anyway, am I alone or others suffered the same problem?
Thanks.

(quickly checking that automatic updates are still disabled... yes.)

I disabled the automatic updates (it allows for a 7 days delay..).
Looking at the System form, I found something a bit strange: there are listed two video cards!
I have an AMD Radeon R5 M430 card and an Intel HD Graphics 520. Both aks for a driver update. But I never installed an additional card (or subsistituted the original one), so why two cards? This is an HP notebook that runs unmodified since its first day.

My original plan was to install Linux and have Windows in a partition or VM just for B4X, then laziness...

Intel HD Graphics 520.

It's built into the processor chip.

It's built into the processor chip.

Thanks for the clarification. So, at worst, I've to update just the AMD driver and Windows will (hopefully) install its own update flawlessly?

@udg .. Have you tried running a System Restore Point just prior to the problem update ? ...

If this returns you to a stable environment, then installing the forced update again night result in a different outcome .. maybe.

Edit : I would have thought MS Updates would have installed the latest drivers automatically if available.

 

[udg]

Not yet. I simply delayed the update and postponed any action until I will back from my short vacation

 

[Erel]

I disabled the automatic updates (it allows for a 7 days delay..).

If you are running Windows 10 pro then you can disable automatic updates completely.

The last update is very important because of this bug.
On every reboot windows will trigger trim for SSD/M.2 and defragment optimization for HDD.
This bug is resolved in last update.

@Erel : unfortunately mine is a Windows10 Home (version 1909, build 18363.1082); maybe it's time to install a Linux distro (and keep delaying W10 updates..)
@Pendrush : indeed it sounds an important point; I never played with any SSD config or optimization, but it's good to know about its existence.

Generally speaking, I can't trust PC quality anymore since a couple of decades (at least). I understand their are designed to soon become obsolete so the overall quality is not a key point for the manufacturers. Every few years it is probably wiser to buy a new PC than to hope everything will work flawlessly for another year..

BTW, my 1982 Olivetti M20 can still run (as long as the floppies don't abandon me). So for my 1989 Compaq Desktop 386. And a few others as well..

Another common ?in the system?

System Restore Point

Is a restore point automatically created by the auto-update process?

I can't trust PC quality anymore

PC quality or OS build quality? these updates esp with MS seem to do this sort of thing not infrequently.....

update again night result

OH @LucaMs missed that one . . .

 

[mangojack]

Is a restore point automatically created by the auto-update process?

Not on all updates for sure ... more so the major updates that I have seen.
My words were more of a suggestion / reminder to @udg should he have a suitable Rest.Point available...
be it by Win Update , manual or scheduled automatically.

OH @LucaMs missed that one . . .

Yeah .. generally jumps on those...

2004?

1 - 2004 was one of the worst years of my life (and it is also difficult to determine which of the many is the worst ever). So I hate 2004;
2 - I think that in 2004 I didn't have Windows 10; maybe I was using Windows 2000. Actually, as of today I don't have windows 10 ?

Maybe @udg means he had 2,004 bad updates ?

worst years of my life

Mine started here :
June 30, 2002
It sold an estimated 58 million licenses, and Microsoft ended mainstream support for both Windows 98 and 98 SE on June 30, 2002, and extended support on July 11, 2006.
