I have this problem where Windows 10 refuses to boot past a certain version.
I make a bootable usb stick using rufus and boot from that.
Windows 8.1 boots and installs fine.
Latest Ubuntu boots and installs fine.
Windows 10 1607 boots and installs fine.
But as soon as I go beyond 1607, like 1703 or the later 20H2 it fails to boot.
I press F8 to get to the boot menu. Select the first or second partition of the usb stick.
The blue windows logo comes up.
It sits like that for about 10-15 seconds, no loader circle is ever shown.
Then the light from the keyboard+mouse goes out, monitor loses signal, beep. It resets.
It is the same thing if I install 1607 and then run windows update. It seemingly installs the update but when it is time for the automatic reboot it does the same thing.
And then boots back to windows with a failed update message.
"Windows 10 Update Error 0XC1900101 – 0x20017
Installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation"
What I have tried:
Booting from different usb sticks/disks.
Removing memory sticks, only having one, in different slots.
Using a memory stick from another PC.
Removing the gpu.
Removing the M2 disk.
Making the boot stick with the Media Creation tool.
A bunch of different Bios settings that I googled.
Flashing in older versions of the bios.
Installing 1607, then all drivers from this page(ROG STRIX Z270-I GAMING | ROG Strix | Gaming Motherboards｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG USA), then running the update.
Remove some intel dlls from the bootstick then booting(some cpus apparently had problems with something..)
Running SetupDiag.exe atfer the failed update to see if there was any clues.
Ran some intel-cpu diagnostics tool, all tests pass.
And more...
Nothing have worked so far.
It feels like this is either some bios setting, some bug in in windows or some mismatch between bios/windows.
If you have any ideas, any bios settings or similar that I could try. That would be much appreciated!
This is the spec:
ASUS ROG Strix Z270I Gaming, Socket-1151
Intel Core i7-7700K
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) / 3000MHz / DDR4 / CL15 / CMD16GX4M2B3000C15
Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2 PCIe SSD
NZXT Kraken X52
ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GAMING OC
Corsair PowerSupply (PSU) SF600 600W SFX
