Follow these directions to Diag with ePSA and do a clean-install from Microsoft ISO.

Disconnect USB-devices and drives other than bootable C: . Be sure itself is perfectly SMART Healthy .

Set to AHCI and never re-install Intel-RST  on this system.

@brianproc , we would need more details like the specific win10 update that is tanking your system.

Did you try booting into safe mode before reinstalling windows?

Hi

I updated to windows 1909 then the last update I remember was an intel raid controller update cant remember the number assosiated with update then I rebooted and it wouldn't load windows.

I didnt try boot in safe mode.i just reinstalled windows and that worked.unfortunately when I updated to 1909 i restarted again the OS wouldn't load

I could be wrong about the controller being the issue but it did say it was updating the controller before I restarted.

I'm not sure if any of this is helpful but I dont like the idea of not being able to update..when I spoke to an alienware representative in support on the phone he reckoned it was a controller windows update issue or that the didnt install properly
