Windows 10: Reboot loop after kb3194798, error 0xc000000f

Dear Users,
Since last Thursday I'm having troubles with Win10.
It was going to update but it somehow failed - now I have reboot loop after each 20 seconds - only short info that update is going back and restart - I kept it for whole night and nothing happen ;/

So I made Ubuntu pendrive and I've seen that there is folder name AAA which has two files:
windows10.0-kb3194798.msu
windows.msu
This folder was not present before.
There is folder called $WINDOWS.~BT - I've found some posts which were saying that I can remove it so I renamed it and got welcome black screen with error 0xc000000f.

Than I thought - for sure Windows shall have some restore tools. I got in menu which allows me to refresh system, restore it etc - unfortunately I don't have any restore point which I can use ;/
I was trying system refresh - but it says that system partition is blocked.
Interesting thing is that I can choose between two operating systems:
Windows Rollback and Windows 10. First is behaving like described above second - is loading and suddenly giving BSOD with info that main process is dead.

Than I thought - Win10 pendrive shall help me - I had to switch to legacy at boot and it ran - but also diagnostic tools were not working or no error was found.

I google and tried bootsect /nt60 all /force /mbr and many other combinations - no influence. I was trying to play with bcdedit according to some posts but nothing was working.

I really would like to omit format and find some smooth solution but I going out of hope, please help.

Reboot loop after kb3194798, error 0xc000000f

Thank you for your reply.

Small update of my "investigation"

Error 0xc000000f occured only when I was switching to LEGACY in bios - this is what I didn't know before, unfortunately only in legacy mode my pendrive with WIN10 is starting (I have to check another one and also create in with FAT32 - maybe this will help
according to some posts). In UEFI mode still no changes - windows is going to roll back in never ending loop ;/

Funny is that I can't install windows because partition is in GPT mode or something but I hope it is connected with this UEFI - I will see tomorrow with new pendrive.

DOes anybody know which other commands from cmd I could use to solve issue or what to delete in registry because regedit is also working in offline mode.

I was really satisfied of Win 10, I was... but in fact it is not symstem's fault but some mo..n who didn't do quality check... eh.

Another possibility maybe would be to use recovery partition? Is it possible? At the begining this Ultrabook (Acer Aspire P3) was with win8 preinstalled so it shall be present?

Thanks for any help.
