My computer wouldn't start and entered into an Automatic Repair. The automatic repair "couldnt repair [my]PC". 

It specifies the following Log file: E:\Recovery\WindowsRE\Winre.wim\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

    Over the past 3 months, I have been forced to re-install Windows 2X due Windows 10 updates crashing my PC and am now spending numerous hours with another update failure.  Microsoft, please prevent these failures from happening!!!!!  I have tried every option available for this most recent system crashing update and am going to need to resort to reinstalling Windows once again.  If this happens again, I am getting and Apple as I have had it with these unbelievable poor customer experiences and spending more time fixing my computer than using it.

    I installed the update 2 days ago, and now I have the same error. No fixes are working, and from what I have read so far Windows and their update appear to be responsible. So I would like to very much add to the call for an explanation and an immediate solution from Microsoft.
