This post will not discuss every single problem out there, you can search for yourself, I only wrote this because in some obscure corner of a forum I saw one person saying he solved by uninstalling Diskcryptor, a software that I had also installed, but never used. What does it mean? No one knows, but it led me down a rabbit hole of people having a lot of different issues. Well, no shit, Sherlock! I tried to install it using the Media Creation Tool (which I recommend when you have Windows Update issues because you can download the update and save it into an ISO, so you can try it again and again without redownloading everything) and I got a more specific error: " 0xC1900101 - 0x30017".

Same thing: a blue screen with a creepy smiley telling me it has failed to boot, with a stop code of "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" at FIRST_BOOT when BOOTing. We recommend you update to the most recent version of Windows 10 to get the latest features and security improvements". But recently I got this warning in Settings Windows Update: " You’re currently running a version of Windows that’s nearing the end of service. I kind of ignored it, because I thought they will probably fix it or maybe it's because my laptop is new and so on. I had tried to install the latest version of Windows 10 (at this time 1909, the September 2019 version), but it had failed with a blue screen.
