2014-06-12T09:34:53+00:00 No need of anything like that. I had used an app called 7tsp to change my windows look. When I rebooted after the patch i found this problem. So i decided to go to system configuration or something with a name like that. There would be a list of dates available on which there have been downloads. I clicked a date which was one week before the day the error came. Then it started to load. 1 hour later it is as good as new. I had overcame this problem and I am also replying the solution on the same laptop that received this error.
