Technical Difficulties

During production on the character, my computer started to refuse to turn on, even in safe mode. I reset the computer to a version from 8 days ago, this lost work but restored the computer to a working state. However when shutting down again, a Windows 10 update was installed and the same problem happened again, problem now was the 8 days ago restore point had been overwritten with the update.

After cancelling work that day so I could use the time to talk with Microsoft support, the end result was the update was not compatible with my computers motherboard. This required me to use commands to force the computer to run the OS from a USB but this would only work by formatting the HDD to allow this. Formatting the computer came at the cost of losing everything on the hard drive. After doing this the computer needed a Microsoft app (for some reason not a default feature) that could block an update taking place, to prevent the computer from installing the non-compatible update.

The computer is still in the process of having all the needed apps reinstalled. (Maya, Photoshop, ZBrush etc)
