Please What happened to my laptop!

[Visionug]

My laptop is LG U560 (2013) 

Chrome, version and windows10: 

 

On the Tuesday night I decided to update my laptop since it had became sluggish in the last week and thought the update might help as suggested by  many youtube videos, after trying other fixed I came across with the updating my software solution so I proceeded.

 

 

Duringthe nightI downloaded the windows update assistant and left my pc downloading the updates at 49% before I went for bed, 7 hours later I woke upand the pc was installing the updates after restating automatically but it was stuck at 30% for hours then it suddenly went off which could have been the problem with my faulty laptop battery,  then I pluggedin and tried booting, and here I ended. My laptop can not boot anymore and it's stuck in this loop. 

It has created these unknown copies of my windows operating system and wherever I try booting one of them, I get driven back to the recovery  menu. 

 

So here iam, stuck and I idle because all my work is on here.

The are the clones of windows I have but never created. 

 

 

I get here after choosing one operating system from the list, when I select a language I get redirected to the recovery menu again.

Please any fix because all my work is here and am missing up.

Probably a damaged display, try using an external monitor or tv.

 

Also try system restore.

Was your laptop not plugged in while updating? If so the battery may have died mid update and corrupted your Windows install. You can try system recovery, and that should keep your files, it'll just "fix" Windows. Otherwise it's also possible the HDD or hybrid SSD/HDD (depends on which model you have) is failing/failed. If that's the case, shut it off and buy a SATA to USB dock, get a recovery software like EaseUS and you should be able to recover your work (you'll need a different computer for that though).

It looks like it was physically damaged during the update. You also said it was from 2013 so I would start looking for an upgrade even if it hadn’t broke. As for your work, you should be able to transfer all your files via a usb stick. Sorry this happened, hope this helps.

You might want to go check in the bios whether the boot device is set to boot from the right partition because that may have been reset from the power cut.

Most likely it's a failure caused by an incomplete update.

 

The quickest thing to try is run Windows update again,it may be able to update everything that wasn't.

 

You can try is Uninstall Updates, to get you back into a working state from which you can try running the Windows Update again, this time with the laptop plugged in.

 

I'm surprised that Windows would allow the system update itself when it knew the wall connection was not active, I didn't think it was supposed to.

try install new os without formating any drive so you can find all of your data even on C under windows.old folder, or try to use system recover and pick to save all personal data.

I think Windows 7 did this. It would look like it was updating but it would get stuck mid update because the laptop wasn't plugged in. Supposedly Windows 10 allows updates without wall power, but I have a feeling the internet is lying to me when I look that up. This may have been what happened to OP. Not being plugged in it got stuck mid update and when the battery died, it corrupted their machine.

Here is what happens when I try to use a system restore.  I affirm the problem isn't about the display & adapters

I tried using a system restore but am getting that error from the pic I attached,  one weird thing is that I lost access to many of useful options like the "reset" option neither am I able to Uninstaller updates. I've tried using the command prompt to fix the boot whereas I get the "access denied " error.  The first question you asked, yes I I was updating Windows and I was plugged in, the update got stuck at 30% and my attention was drawn away by other task, the I accidentally switched off the power supply leaving home and left the laptop working updates then this.

Should I reinstall windows from a thumb drive? Won't that wipe out all of my data on the drive? I need some clarification 

 

I tried Uninstalling windows and end up with this error

Lol , though my boy is a decade old but am in love with him to date, he in a right shape. Help me with more info on how to transfer my data to another drive, without tearing this boy down the only thing I have access to is command prompt. And later how can i reinstall my data back to this boy after performing a fresh install of windows?

You might be able to reinstall windows without touching your files but I can't garuntee that. 

 

Worst case I would just pull the drive, get a mini SATA to USB dock, and buy a copy of easeus recovery software and run a deep scan. You should be able to get most all your files back that way. You will need another computer for this.

Is there a faster way using the command prompt?
