win 10 no longer boots after update
I have now had three PC's from different manufacturers, but all using different Foxconn boards with the Intel H61 chipset and UEFI bios, all upgraded from Win 7 that have failed after a Win 10 update. By failed I am saying that on trying to boot, fans start, but clearly the systems don't boot (no options even to get into BIOS). PSU, graphics, hdd, ram all checked out okay; CMOS reset. In a couple of cases the cpu was reseated. We replaced one board only for the system started but then reverted with same symptoms (returned as DOA!).
I have posted elsewhere seeking an answer, many "experts" don't believe that Microsoft may have corrupted the Uefi, but remember Windows does check Uefi to verify that Windows is genuine, so it is not impossible for the Uefi becoming corrupted in certain situations. Of course, the main boards could be faulty, but the no of incidences of the situation can't be coincidence.
I am just a small one man repair shop, but with more years of IT experience than I care to mention. The only way to verify my opinion is to have a client who would be happy to go along with replacing the BIOS chip and doing a clean install of win 7 (just rebooting back into win 10 may just give the same issue).
As there are now so many reports of this over many forums, HP, Dell, Windows central, Microsoft must have wind of this issue. Is it too much to expect Microsoft to come clean?
