Windows 10 Reverting Updates

[Dschulz72]

Hey guys, 

 

I have an old gaming PC which refuses to stay updated. Every time I update it, it eventually boots to "restoring your previous version of Windows" and gets rid of the most recent build. At first I thought this was due to overclocking instability (perhaps Windows detected the instability and assumed the update was the problem?), but it just reset randomly today after a clean shutdown. Also, the overclock is totally stable now anyway (20 passes IntelBurnTest with furmark runnning, no issues)... 

 

This at least the 5th time this has happened, and it's extremely annoying. After the updated version is installed, it works perfectly fine, but Windows rolls it back randomly anyway. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? My best guess is to update the computer and somehow uninstall the old image, but I don't know how to do that. 

PC specs:

 

x5660 CPU @4.0GHz

MSI x58m motherboard

12 GB RAM

GTX 1050 Ti

LiteOn LCS-256M6S 256 GB SSD

Windows 10 Home

u can always just disable the windows update service for as long u wanna so it wont do random shit

 

windows + r  > services.msc    and disable windows update for aslong u desire if u wanna update just enable it again

Hmm... That would be fine if the version it was rolling back to supported my 1050 Ti. It also runs a LOT slower before updating and the start menu refuses to open.

 

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I think I may have found the solution. I used Windows disk cleanup to remove the "previous windows installation." Hopefully that fixes the issue.
