Update causing "Undo changes" loop

4.5

The PC tries to update, fails, undoes changes, and then tries again in an infinite loop.

Symptoms
  • "We couldn't complete the updates"
  • Infinite reboot
  • Cannot reach desktop
Possible Causes
  • Corrupt system files
  • Insufficient disk space
  • Driver conflict

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Boot to Safe Mode

Try to finish the "undoing" process in Safe Mode.

2

Run SFC and DISM

Repair system files using "sfc /scannow" and "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth".

3

Hide the Update

Use the "Show or Hide Updates" troubleshooter to skip the problematic update.

When to See a Technician

This loop usually means one specific update is incompatible with your current drivers.
