My suggestion is you download the windows media creation tool and install to a USB. Then you can reinstall windows from there, you can select  keep files when you do this if I recall correctly.

Does your computer still detect your boot drive from the BIOS? If so, what happens when you manually select it to boot?

 

What drivers did you specifically update? 

Are you able to even get to the BIOS?

Gotcha, so I would highly recommend rolling back your drivers to what you were previously able to boot from, then update them one by one and see which one was causing you to crash.

I would roll them back but I can't get into windows to do that, can you roll back drivers from bios?

are you able to boot into safe mode? Typically if it fails to boot several times in a row itll bring up recovery options in which you should find safe mode. From there you should be able to roll back drivers.

No safe mode doesn't work, it just fails to boot and brings up the windows recovery the same as normal booting does
