Alex, the Lenovo uses a hybrid drive which uses Intel's Rapid Storage Technology (RST) whereby the SSD (of only 8gb) is used effectively as a cache and the 1tb drive for installation of the operating system, programs and data. Install the latest RST drivers/software from Intel -hopefully that cures the problem. It may be that Intel have not yet released an updated RST driver for the latest Windows update - but I doubt that as Intel and Microsoft works very closely together and anyway the inner ring testers should have come across this by now (I would have thought!).
If things do not work out you can always roll back the update as the old windows installation will be in a folder called windows.old.
Once again good luck.

There's a 10 day limit on roll back. You can extend that using some code easily

Thanks, that is most useful.
The desktop that I'm using I put a hybrid drive in, Grant has at least one or more SSHD's! I got the impression (wrongly) that the Lenovo was two separate drives.
Just looked on the cardboard box that the Lenovo came in, you are correct, it's a SSHD.

Bit of an update
The bootable W10 USB stick booted OK, but none of the tools worked.
The laptop owner's son came here today, (he's a BBC Electronic Engineer) he did not want any other operating system, other than W10 on the machine. I'm sure his Dad would have been fine with W7 or Linux Mint.
While the son was here he tried various things to get W10 working, but no success. He said that he would have another go at his home.
Many thanks to Edward, Grant and everyone else for your input.
Just in case anyone is interested, the machine, Lenovo Z-5170 ran fine on a USB stick loaded with Linux Mint 18.3 "Sylvia" - MATE (64-bit)

Might be the fancy boot system in it. My win 8 one had that and it caused a lot of trouble at one time. Thi loading and bios were causing havoc lol

Incidentally, about 12 years ago this guy joined the BBC, he had not heard of LS3/5a etc. He said that they mainly used Genelec monitors. He had a good listen to some of my speakers and bought himself Rogers LS3/5a. He then bought some JR149's, and about two years ago he rescued a pair of very tatty LS3/5a's from a skip!

Grant, did you sort out your network shares being seen but not accessible?
I saw this issue on one of my machines and, yes, it was a nuisance. Turned out that the problem was that I had, within my router, identified the name of the machine with a friendly name which did not correspond to the actual name of the machine. Thus there was a conflict when the router was translating to the internal IP address resulting in 'network path not found'. I made the names correspond and all is well. Your issue may be different but have a look anyway.
Speaking of computer disasters (name of this thread) do you know what happened to AoS when it went offline for about 15 hours the other day?

Sorry about being ill.
Hope you now feeling better.
