After a windows 10 update, my ASUS X55U laptop remained in a rollback loop.  I have tried Bob Omb's suggestion in the Jan 16, 2018 thread by Martin Bar ie. run chkdsk c:/r/x (no bad clusters, usn journal verification) and sfc/scannow (Windows Resource Protection could not perform the required operation).  I do not have a boot disc or USB

    I created a Bootable USB and it was recognized, but it won't load.  I keep ending up at the keyboard layout screen. 

    Do I need to format my hard drive?  I have been able to extract my documents via a friend's linux USB and have those files on an external drive

    I have the same question. It came up after the last update. I also have ASUS laptop model U56E...  I had to select a keyboard (Englsh) then i would get “continue to windows rollback”. I cant do anything!! The three forced shutdowns dont work, i dont have a bootable startup disk, system restore and system image didnt work... This keeps going in circles! I have never had an update as frustrating as this one! Microsoft, where is you quality control?? Please help!

    I finally found the way to fix it and keep everything how it was before the bug. 

    Hold the power button until the computer turns off and then press the power button back on. Repeat that three times until you get a new page that lists a few options. The one you need is the Recovery Envirnment. Once there click into troubleshooting and then click Reset Computer. It will go through some stuff and then you computer will be how you left it before the update.

    Thanks for the suggestion, AntDart, but it said it tried, but it said it couldn’t reset the computer....  <sigh>
