    Laptop turns unusable after latest windows 10 update

    Hello,

    Last Thursday I received a message about restarting the system in order to install an update. Since I was working, I delayed it for the weekend. I do not remember having seen an update notification this weekend when turning it on, but the laptop is unusable.
    The pointer freezes, movies freeze, strange digital sounds are played when playing videos, it takes way too long to restart and it even forgot my password and I had to create a new one. I am writing from my smartphone because my laptop is almost unusable.
    Any suggestions ? Thanks.
