Windows 10: 20H2 update rendered my PC useless

I have an Alienware R8 with RTX 2070. I started off with that because people with a somewhat related issue are saying that they are stuck on the boot screen but in my case my computer displays nothing at all. After the update I can power up my PC and the lights on the desktop case turn on but no matter what video cord hdmi, dvi, and DisplayPort I use, it will not display anything. I tried to shut it off three times to try to trigger the safe mode but that didn't work either, I also tried pressing some of the F keys to see if that might help but that didn't work either.

Bitlocker Encryption Process Failed and PC is rendered useless

Thank you Vanessa. I went ahead and posted there and did receive replies.

For anyone who might come across this post:

• we were able to get the pc to identify a bitlocker error code 80070057 in regards to not finding a separate partition.
  
• when checking whether the pc was encrypted, the pc said 'unknown'.
• when we accessed the un-encrypt screen using recovery media, the pc could not process the recovery key.

Apparently, an error occurred during the encryption process leaving the laptop useless.

We cleared the hard drive and started over. We tried bitlocker again and it worked. One difference was on this go round, the pc said we needed to change the pc policies because it did not have a tpm chip. For some reason, that did not occur on the first
go round. So, the thought is 'somehow' the bitlocker encryption process was able to start on the first go round without requiring a change in the policy and without that change, the encryption process started but got stuck and rendered the pc useless.

Fortunately, we are back up and running though I have a lot of work ahead updating the software and settings.

Update 20h2

Hi Wicki,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 3 year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

20H2 should not be installed right-away on your device - MS said the rollout is only to a fraction of users and would be labeled as an optional update initially. Are you enrolled in WIP?

You may uninstall 20H2 using the steps below:
