OASIS FORUM Post by the Golden Rule. GoldTent Oasis is not responsible for content or accuracy of posts. DYODD.

I don’t see a time it was posted which is strange but even stranger is the date. Hit the more under the video. It gives the date. January 29 a day before.

This wasn’t a dip, this was coordinated theft.

Step 1: Force Windows into Recovery Mode (WinRE)

If Windows won’t boot, we need the recovery environment.

Power on the computer

As soon as you see the Windows logo or spinning dots → hold the power button to force it off

Repeat this 2–3 times

On the next start, Windows should say:
“Preparing Automatic Repair”

If that doesn’t appear, let me know — there’s a USB fallback.

Step 2: Use Startup Repair (safe, fast)

Once in the blue recovery screen:

Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Repair

Choose the Windows 11 installation

Let it run

Reboot when finished

👉 If it boots, you’re done.
👉 If it fails, keep going.

Step 3: Roll back the broken update (very often the fix)

Back to:

Troubleshoot → Advanced options

Try these in order:

A. Uninstall latest quality update

Select Uninstall Updates

Choose Uninstall latest quality update

Reboot

B. If that fails, uninstall feature update

Same menu

Uninstall latest feature update

Reboot

⚠️ This does not delete files.

Step 4: Boot into Safe Mode

If updates are stuck mid-install:

Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart

When it reboots, press:

4 = Safe Mode

5 = Safe Mode with Networking (preferred)

If you gets in:

Open Settings → Windows Update

Pause updates

Reboot normally

Step 5: Fix a “pending update” loop (command line)

This one is gold for update-brick situations.

From Advanced options → Command Prompt:

Type exactly (one line at a time):

dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions

Wait for it to finish, then:

exit

Reboot.

This explicitly tells Windows:

“Stop trying to finish the update that’s killing me.”

Step 6: Last non-destructive option – System Restore

If you had restore points enabled:

Troubleshoot → Advanced options → System Restore

Pick a restore point before the update attempt.

Step 7: If none of this works

At that point the choices are:

In-place repair using a Windows 11 USB (keeps files)

Reset this PC → Keep my files

Both are recoverable, but usually you won’t need to go this far.

Two quick questions that help me tailor this:

Do you see “Preparing Automatic Repair” at all?

Does the failure happen after a reboot during “Working on updates”?

Tried several techniques/tricks from Google, but has had to get a copy of windows 10 to reinstall. All non-backed up data lost.

Get an Apple.

If you look in the lower left hand corner everyone on the internet noticed that this video was posted before the crash even occurred, come on guys

He published the video 16 hours before the crash came. How is that possible you guys. Whoever’s making these videos in some alphabet agency. They want to know does he represent the CCP or the CIA. You will need to click on the Youtube link on the right hand side to open it up on the YT player, because you can’t see the timestamp from gold tent

Steve Rhodes on the tiger tv 11 am show said he put win 11 updates on his pcs  this week and it messed up all his trading software
