Does it try an "automatic repair" and fail every time? That was my experience with the in-place upgrade with the Media creation tool. I would suggest you to create a live USB stick with Ubuntu on it, and boot from there (see How to create a bootable USB stick on Windows | Ubuntu for instructions on how to create the stick). (When you boot, you will be given the option to try Ubuntu without installing it) Then check whether you can access the C drive from Ubuntu.

If you cannot see the C drive (which was my experience), prepare a live USB stick with Windows 10 and boot from there. When presented with the setup screen, click "Repair my computer" Then Troubleshooting, then Command line. On the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and hit enter. This should fix your drive up.

Sorry, I meant to say
chkdsk /f /r C:

Once it's over, check whether you can access C: by typing
cd /D C:
dir

An interesting issue about my particular case was that after chkdsk, I was able to access C: from the command file, see the files, copy them around, etc. But when I rebooted the computer and let Windows do its automatic repair thing once more, I lost access to C:, once more. The solution, again, was chkdsk for me, after which I regained access to my data. I then decided to just stay in the cmd environment, copy important files over to an external hard drive (using the command "copy"), and once that's done do a clean install on C:

Your particular case may very well be different from mine, but maybe this will help :smile:

The exact same thing happened to me. I consider myself a power user and tried all kinds of things I found around the internet. Nothing worked. In the end, I had to do a complete reinstall. Luckily I always have my data files on a separate disk for this reason. Everything worked great after the reinstall until the next Windows update came out. Now it's broken again. Seriously getting tired of Windows.
