Windows 10: Windows 10 update unable to boot

Hi


not being to savvy could anyone help/advise me on how to rectify an issue I am having after updating to the latest Windows update, its driving me nuts, my desktop will not boot on start up or after shutting down, it starts to boot then freezes on the dell logo, I have to long press the start button on the tower to put into sleep mode ? then press the button again twice before it boots to the Dell screen and then finally loads with the normal boot sequence. I keep reverting back to the last update which works a treat with no issues, but then I get the dreaded "Orange dot " suggesting I update ! I have updated and gone back to the last update so many times over the last few weeks I've had it. I presume there is an easy fix but each one I have researched fails to cure my issue. I have also managed to include in the power "button" a shut down option which allows me to shut down without updating but obviously to be safe and secure on line I should update to the latest version. thanks for reading best regards Gary

Windows update failed and unable to boot

Hi Chrissy,

To assist you better help us with the information below.

• Have you made any recent software/hardware changes to the computer?
• Do you get any error message or code when trying to boot into the computer?

When installing updates it puts message “Do not shut down your machine”, if you unplug the AC adapter or turn off the computer Chances are:

• Windows resuming the installation process next time you shutdown.
• A non-vital program file becomes corrupted and causes some feature of the OS to become unusable and crash.

As an initial step I would suggest you to unplug all external devices if connected and then try to boot the computer by plugging in the AC adapter and check if you are able to boot the computer.

If the computer boots make sure all the updates are installed and then you can login to user Interface.

If you still not able to unable to get the in Windows Bootable environment I Would suggest you contact your manufacturer.
