RE: Bad Pool Header need help

I copied all your instructions for cleaning and will get back with you when
done. Thank you so much for being such a big help. I have learned a lot
from you.

Did you tries to Restore to before the Updates took place?.

Can you open the local search and search for Fips.exe or just Fips.

Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the
error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

Lastly, try to download the Diagnostic tools from your Hard Drive
manufacturer and test the health of your HDD, it my be failing.

Hi Nass,
I wish I had read your answer sooner, as I worked most of day removing
updates one by one, resetting, then resetting back to safe mode to remove
another. Finally after the 7th removal I thought about doing a restore. I
don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, but it worked and everything was
singing along again. So I updated each that I had removed and tested to make
sure it didn't happen again. No problems so far. Now all I need to do is
clean out all the junk files and defrag . Sometimes the answer is simple,
but we make it differcult. Thanks for you help.

Glad you got it sorted, make sure to scan for malware and viruses first then
try the cleaning up and defrag.

Go through these cleaning steps to see or get a clear opinion on how
clean your machine is:
= Click Start >> Control Panel>>Network and Internet Connections >> Double
click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Tabs:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |
Advanced.
Under General Tab clear your History, Internet Files and Cookies.
Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.

Then open or double " My Computer" and right click your C:\ Partition,
select properties.
On the Drive properties click on Tools tab then click on Check Disk, a
pop-up will appear please check the two boxes for auto repair and the
correction of the bad sectors if found then click [OK] a pop-up will prompt
you that the chkdsk will start on Reboot, would you like it to run on
Reboot/Restart, please click [YES] and Reboot your machine.
HTH.
Thanks for the feedback & Best wishes.
