7880 Bricks Itself

[JannGold]

After patching 7880, it will end up going into startup repair after patching. I am trying to do this because I need it for a certain project. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to fix.

Can you check event viewer for any entries related to automatic repair? They can possibly contain useful details

How do I check event viewer when I can’t boot at all?

Oh, so it is stuck, huh..? Let me think

[JannGold]

Just says that it is an incompatible is in startup repair and it will only boot there.

The thing I am installing this on doesn’t really have a way to change the date easily. That is why I think it is better to debomb at that point.

You can use the usb install media. Boot it, click Shift+F10 for cmd to appear, type notepad.exe, click File -> Open and look for (letter):\System32\LogFiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

That is not event viewer log, but it should have info from startup repair attempt. Note that in the windows installation environment, the drive where you have windows installed might be mounted under different letter than C - you will have to check all visible letters and identify which one is it

The root cause is that “The operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair.”

Actually now I'm not even sure whether startup repair logs anything to event viewer at all. But the SrtTrail.txt is a documented way Windows uses to log the repair attempt

Exactly. It won’t even boot from here.

Peak Windows moment. Will ping the dev to get his attention

Now I wonder whether to say ""bruh" once more or to cry at how evil microsoft is

Omw to download the build and try, will report the findings soon. Tho it might be suspect to broken WPA phenomenon (check #2 (comment)) which timebomb breaks itself after expiration and system keeps working until you reboot it several times to end up in activation screen.
