Windows 10: HELP! PC wont start after update and I can't run WinRE. Black Screen!

I was ready to take my online final today (because you know... COVID) when a Windows pop up told me I had to reboot to install an update. Since I was about to take an exam I just scheduled the reboot for later today. 3min later my pc froze and it stayed frozen for over 10min, so I decided to forcefully shut it down using the power button.

After trying to restart it all I get is the manufactures logo with some dots going in circles and then a black screen, no mouse no nothing. I tried getting into WinRE mode but apparently I can't do that from boot. I tried booting bios but apparently I also need to be running Windows 10 for that.

I need to get that pc running right now but I don't know what to do!

Is there a BIOS boot option from the key board or a way to force WinRE just before boot?

Here is my pc's specs, or at least the data available on the Windows Account page:

• Windows 10 Home
• OS Build10.0.19042.804
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
• RAM16 GB
• Version2009
• System typeOSType64BitX64
• Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz

I tried the Windows Forums, but that was not helpful at all.

The only thing i can do run Linux from an USB, to try and same as much data as i can from the C drive and then just reinstall windows*. But I only have my phone right now so that is not an option



* I don't even know if this is posible since I believe the Windows 10 bootloader is kinda shite and will not let me run other OS unless i configure it first, which i cant do right now

Pls help

Cheers



PS:

I managed to get a hold of my TA just in time and I ended up taking my exam on the phone, I mean phone call, not Zoom or Meet. Lol

PC wont Start Black Screen (keyboard,mouse issue)

Ok.. after reading some of the replys, Some of this has gotten mixed up. So il Sum everything up.

Ok firstly I have Two Pc's One of which i have listed Under my name is System Specs which is Running Windows 7 and My other Pc which is Windows Xp which is the one with the problem Specs are Below.

AMD 245 2.9Ghz
4GB Team Elite 2x2Gb
Asrock N68-s Mobo
160Gb Hard Drive
550w CIT PSU

Ok For some Reason my Pc Refuses to Start up with a Keyboard and mouse in the Usb port All i get is a black Screen and so far the only way to get the pc in is if i keep Press ANy key on the keyboard and keep clicking on the mouse But this does not always work. I have tried A loads of Different Keyboards Mouses Etc... But none of which Seem to Work.

i have Tried all the Suggestions Given to me wont list them as there are loads now...Lol
However one of the Suggestions Did kinda work which was to Connect my Keyboard mouse Using a Ps/2 adapter which Seems to be working ok But not fully sometimes it dont want to start up again say 2/10.

Yesterday i Went to a Friend of mine who is Pc Engineer and we connected it up Using His Psu and His microsoft keyboard and Mouse which worked Fine the problem was gone. Please note we done a bench Test Leaving only His Hard drive Connected to the board, He is also running windows Xp Pro ... Thought it Be best to Use Same OS.

But as soon as i Took it Home and tried it again thinking it was ok... I was wrong.

@Scaminatrix : Board was Bought Brand New was in my Windows 7 Rig for a week then i decided to Upgrade My Cpu and Mobo. So I stuck my Old Board and Cpu in this pc (One with the problem)

@Aleksander : Yh Saw the post about this Board. No Doesent have CPU Unlock, USb is enabled in Bios. Erm I have Tried loads of Different Keyboards and Mouses, Trust ,Microsoft, Sumvision about 6 different keyboards mouses i own and about 4 i borrowed from some Friends and the only one that worked was the engineers Microsoft Keyboard and mouse.

@jakeman97 : The Pc In My Specs is My Main Rig (One Running W7) and the one with the problem is my Second Rig which is Running windows Xp and is only really Used for Video Editing and the Ocational Game with a m8t ...Lol

Finger hurt now from typing...LOl
