There have been many complaints of this issue I've seen on here, and many slightly different from eachother (when it comes down to details). Well here's mine. A few days ago, the Windows 10 "April Update" rolled out and my laptop (Asus N550JK-DS71T) all of a sudden started acting weird upon being woken up (from sleeping): the cursor would lag, chrome would constantly crash, and my laptop was generally slower and many apps would constantly "not respond." [note: I haven't installed anything these past 2 weeks nor have I been on many or websites other than normal social media and google drive] I figured it would have been the update so I go to setting (intending to go to the "update & security" section to rollback to before the update). The moment I clicked on the setting Windows itself stopped responding and my computer froze for over 5 minutes. So I held my power button down to shut my machine off. power it back on and that's when the cycle began. I got, "Preparing Automatic Repair," then "Diagnosing PC Errors" [or something], followed by "Repairing Disk Errors. This might take over an hour to complete." (I wated a day and a hald and gave up).
So next I booted from Windows 10 installation media. I tried to do "startup repair" but got "startup repair couldn't fix your PC." Then "Go back to the previous build" Then it says something like "we ran into a problem and could not go back to your previous build." Went to my restore points and said they wouldn't work at first. Now, when I try system restore again, it says, "To use system restore, you must first specify which Windows Installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore." Now that I have tried that the only other option I probably have is command prompt. Please help me, if you can.
Note: I am trying to avoid having to wipe my harddrive and reinstall Win10. I have some large programs that take a long time to download, so it'd be a pain. That's also why I don't want to refresh (And I also heard refreshing can lead to worse problems).
