Reset results in 80070490

Question

My developer preview suddenly stopped working today.  I tried doing a reset through the control panel, but nothing would happen.  So I tried doing it through the bios and it just says:

Unexpected error

80070490

An unexpected error

occurred.  No further

assistance is available.

 

Where do I go from here?

 

Edit: I guess I should specify, "Stopped working" meaning services are continually crashing, windows update no longer works.  I tried a "Refresh" which worked, but issues remain.

If you are unable to get to the system restore options by booting while holding down the Windows key, please feel free to contact Microsoft Support at this link for futher assistance.

Answer 2

can’t use the support link, and I have the same problem. 80070490 refers to corrupted or missing files, is there a way to regenerate the recovery (push button reset) partition?
