Windows 10: Restarts for Windows updates hang at OEM logo- booting something else clears it

When I restart my ASUS UX303UB laptop during a Windows update it always hangs at the ASUS logo. Mashing the power button is the only option. The next start up attempt does the same thing, then on the third attempt, I get the recovery options. Nothing much here works either it suggests just restarting again, but that doesn't work, nor does startup repair repair anything. The one thing I found that does work is to boot or even attempt to boot* into something other than Windows.

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

Computer hangs on Windows Logo, help!

"First and last Custom build cus it was just too tedious"

In what way?


Hold down F5 as the computer boots to enter safemode. If that doesnt work hold down F8 and as the computer boots and manually select safemode.

If you manage to enter safemode go to Start > Run > MSCONFIG > Startup and untick everything. Then restart your computer.
