More 1803 woes - system loop on restart
I downloaded 1803 yesterday; at the completion of the download (option to update). I shut down the PC (normally) with a view to complete the update today. There is virtually nothing on the PC apart from Chrome.
Today when I boot up all I get is a loop with the date screen, blue screen with rotating balls, and black screen (cursor active) - I left this to run for 45 minutes before forcing a shut down.
First things first was to run a chkdsk, I am seeing countless entries with deleting extended attribute set due to the presence of a reparse point in file nnnnn.
I am getting the feeling it would be better to start afresh and rebuild the system as their is no critical data on the system or many apps.
I think I am in the majority that really hate the update process in Windows 10 - my vote is redesign from scratch - just too many issues too slow, and unnecessary unwanted add-ons.
