  1. Laptop stuck in 'Attempting to recover installation'


    Recently went to install a Windows 10 update on my laptop, this update must have failed as I went to turn on my laptop and it is stuck in the following loop:



    It shows the hp logo, then goes to a screen with a message 'attempting to recover installation', followed by another screen with a message 'undoing changes made to your computer'. The laptop then restarts itself and goes back to the hp logo, and this loop is continuous unless I turn the laptop off.


    Trying to boot into safe mode and use a recovery drive but I seem to be unable to do this. I have tried spamming various function keys to try and boot into safe mode with no effect. Looking into it for Windows 10 you are supposedly able to get into safe mode by turning the laptop off 3 times in a row when booting up, but I haven't been successful with this no matter what way I tried it.


    Any ideas on how to proceed? I'm stuck trying to do anything to get out of this loop, luckily I don't have anything too important that is only saved to this laptop so I don't mind if I have to completely reset the laptop to fix it.

    :)

    Windows 10 attempting to recover installation

    Appreciate your assistance.

    Have attempted your instructions however the windows logo does not appear at any stage in the loop. The loop goes:-

    Option ROM

    Dell logo

    The pc makes a flickering noise

    Attempting to recover

    Restoring your previous version

    The loop then continues.

    I attempted the rebooting with the Dell logo with no effect.

    Any more suggestions?
