Windows 10: Windows Update has screwed up my computer

The latest Windows Update kicked off yesterday evening. Now my computer will not boot. I don't think that the update ever even completed, but it is also in a position where it won't back out any changes either. All I see is that little circle of dots indicating that something is supposed to be processing. Only it is over ten hours later and NOTHING is happening. Turn off the power and restart and it goes back to this position. This is a serious f__kup on Microsoft's part. I need help to fix it.

Outlook, Windows update screwed my computer

Hi Bennie,



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I’ll certainly help you with this.

• When you set up the account, did you create a local account or Microsoft account?
  
• What is the exact error message you get when you try to login?

I suggest you to check if you have activated two step verification for your account. If yes, I suggest you to turn it off and check.

Also check if the Windows Update was successfully installed on your computer.

• Press Windows Key + I and click on Update and Security.
• Under Windows Update tab, click on Advanced options
• Click on View update history and check if the update is installed properly.

Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.



Thank you.

 

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

 

Windows Update may have killed my computer?

Mindows update has managed to screw my computer with a fresh install of windows twice.
