Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro security upgrade.

Hello, three days ago Sunday Sep. 16, 2018. Ran the security upgrade to Win 10 pro that was recommended every time I logged into my desktop, took forever to complete, now every time I start the system I get the message "getting windows ready don't turn off your computer" just like when the update ran. Sometimes it go's through the whole run like re-installing the update and sometimes just shows for a minute or two then boots. Tried to restore, but the system says no updates have ever been installed even though update assistant shows a whole list of updates, and then when I try roll-back, it says to late, it has been more than 10 days since update. What is going on??? help!!!

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
