Windows 10: Windows 10 October Update Issue

My Home PC installed Windows 10 Updates October and it now displays, We couldn't complete the updates, Undoing changes, Don't turn off computer.


It's been showing this for 4 hours, what should I do?

Power it off and try again?

Leave it alone, to see if it puts itself right?


If I power it off, is there a Safe Mode I can access?

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
