Windows 10: Computer stuck in repair loop after update failure

Hi,
I am trying to fix a computer. It crashed while updating the latest windows update. It got stuck at 20% of the update. Since the crash it got in an unstoppable repair loop. While i did try many of the youtube video's fixes for this "repair loop windows 10" while using the command prompt it did not work for me. Evertime i feel i am progressing i hit this screen with white lines all over the screen (see attachment) and then there is some sort of a bios sound and the computer reboots into repair loop again.

The moment i try to enter safe mode . I hit the screen critical process died and we go back in reboot.

I tried to restore a previous version of windows but that didn't work neither.

Anyone that can help?

Thank you very much

Windows 10 cumulative update failure

after the update failed I am now stuck in a boot loop.

"Winodws could not complete the installation."

How do I get out of this loop?

[Original title: windows 10 cumulative update failure]

 

After install of critical updates windows 10 will not complete startup... hangs with spinning dots,,, screen flickers

Using the automatic repair was the first thing I tried.... Since Windows 10 was actually installed ( it was just stuck in some loop after installing certain critical updates ) the automatic repair did not find anything to repair. As I indicated earlier...
Safe Mode does work and there is no looping when it comes up. I just don't know what to kill or remove to get the computer to complete the bootup in normal windows mode.....

 

Hi Overflow. Welcome to the TenForums @Overflow

Do you have recovery media (boot media) for the version you are using that you can boot from to try the repairs?

Not sure where you are with backing up your data but if you don't have a current backup or there are files on your devices which have not been backed up I would address this first. Kyhi's Recovery disk will allow you to boot and use standard windows processes to copy.

Once data is off the fastest root back to operational could very well be a clean install. Yes I know it is more work.

Clean Install Windows 10

Once operational I would look at the regular use of a tool like Macrium Reflect. Free, fast and reliable tool to restore your system.

Others may have a more finite resolution but in any event I would get my data backed up. Hopefully you have recovery media. You can likely still get 1709 usig the media creation tool although there was some talk 1803 would be released.
