Windows 10: Windows 10 blank screen with cursor on startup

Hello, my pc has recently failed a windows software update and cannot boot into the OS. I have looked up this problem and tried many solutions but so far nothing has worked. The only thing I haven't tried is Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) simply because I have no idea how to access it. My pc is part of my job and I am in desperate need of it. Hopefully there is a solution.

:)

 

I updated to windows 10, after 20 minutes it has gone to a blank screen.

I started updating to windows 10, after 20 minutes it has gone to a blank screen. I have tried restarting my pc 3 times. It has been like this for 4 hours. I launch my PC, Alienware startup screen comes up - then blank screen with cursor on it. Help?

Have a similar issue. 10 worked fine for 2 days. Then after creating a restore USB the screen went blank with only the cursor. Restart slowly gets to the sign on page. Enter password and get welcome screen with circling dots. Then the screen goes
blank but shows cursor and occasional system busy cursor. Tried to use alternate boot up which gives the window logo and then goes to the blank screen with cursor. Hardware diagnostics are fine and pass the tests. Cannot get to setup to restore Windows
10 or do anything.
