So yesterday windows 10 prompted me an update so i shut down with installing updates.
Everything was all fine untill it got stuck at 100% for an hour.
I hard reset the PC and went to sleep.
This morning i start the pc back up and windows won't boot anymore.
 

What happens:

 

MOBO makes start up beep, fans start spnning faster and slow down, standard logo's pop up,

windows 10 logo pops up with little loading circle, then the image dissapears then the logo and loading circle reappears and pc shuts down and starts back up from MOBO beep.

 

I tried holding down F8 but i don't even get the advanced boot menu.

 

Is there any way i can force it to restore the last working version of windows before this update?

 

*edit: trying to force the automatic repair leaves me stuck with repair screen:

if i press enter it continues with the loop,

if i press F1 for the repair stuff it restarts to the blue repair screen but does nothing,

if i press f8 for the start up settings it flickers for a second but stays on the screen. Or i get the screen to choose start up settings but then when i chooses something it reboots and gets stuck again.

Ok, I am asking because April Update has been blocked for that exact reason on those system, until a fix is coming. Report suggest that an update is coming next week, but we will see if it is true or not.

 

F8 does not exists anymore since Windows 8. It's gone, PCs are too fast to catch the keyboard call. You can boot from Windows 10 setup disk/USB flash drive, and pick the repair option instead of install, to get the recovery menu, and you can fail boot 2 times to get, on the third time the Startup repair and have the option there, as you were able to get.

 

i would suggest to boot from your Windows 10 installation USB or disk, pick repair, and navigate to the menu and pick "Go back to the previous build" option if you have it, else try "System Restore" to bring back your system back in time before you updated without affecting your personal files (assuming you didn't disable that feature in the past).

 

Once restored back, make sure that ALL your drivers are FULLY updated, and if you have an anti-virus (beside Windows Defender), to uninstall it, and just to be safe, unplug all USB devices beside Keyboard and Mouse, and remove any extra HDD/SSDs and any other PCIe card that is not the graphics card (if any) and now try again. (This is all assuming that you never got a malware or virus on the PC in the past (these tend to modify system files which aren't repaired by the anti-virus/malware), did not use a registry cleaner, and aren't using system tweak tools, and the system isn't overclocked, as it can cause issues if it is not 100% stable as error can occur during setup and you have nothing to fix it let alone detect it, and so you have corrupted files.)

all right thanks for all the info guess i'm keeping a windows install on usb close by from now on. 

 

In regards to the last portion: everything is on standard clocks not using any extra tools or cleaners and the only anti virus I have is avg i'm pretty sure and windows defender.

as far as I know of I haven't had any virusses/malware but then ofcourse you don't always know for sure.
