Windows 10: Updated to 20H2, PC no longer booting past loading screen

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

A couple of months ago I noticed an update from Microsoft, so wanting to ensure that my system was up to date, I performed the 20H2 update. Then I got many an error where my pc would boot to the BIOS screen, then the windows logo would appear... then nothing! Black screen, graphics card fans stop spinning and the monitor turns off due to inactivity after a while. I'd tried to uninstall the update but booting into safe mode worked so erratically that I couldn't reliably get it to boot, I tried many a time to reset the PC but despite waiting for the process to complete no more than 5 separate times I gave up on that too.


I finally took the battery out of my motherboard to reset that bad boy and even that didn't work!


What did work, seemingly, was leaving the PC off for the best part of a month as I was sick of looking at it. Upon hooking everything up and turning it on again, the system reset completed, and I was able to boot into a wonderfully reset clean PC! Hooray!


But wait... I now need to update everything once again. So I dutifully began downloading updates to bring security and patches back from my 2014 original install. The dreaded 20H2 update was installed, but I had no fear that the same thing would happen again. And you know what? It did. I'm sitting here, unable to boot my PC past the same Windows logo and it's definitely down to that update!


What should I do Microsoft?? Why has this happened, and why isn't there a patch to stop this from happening again??

PC won't boot after Windows loading screen!

Hi,

An Automatic Repair or Startup Repair can help you resolve your concern. This tool is used when you cannot boot your Windows properly. To run Startup Repair, you can go through
Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Restart now (Under
Advanced start-up). However, since you cannot enter your Desktop, we suggest you to force fail your computer. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Boot your computer.
• While on the logo screen, do a force shutdown by pressing the Start button.
• Wait until you see "Preparing Automatic Repair" appears. If it doesn't appear, repeat the steps until it do so.
• After the loading screen, you will have a black screen and another loading screen will appear.

By then, it will now diagnose your computer and will do an Automatic Repair.

Let us know how it goes.
