I have a laptop running Windows 10. I updated Windows 10 last night. I start up my laptop today and it’s stuck on this loop where it’s on this screen that says “Restoring your previous version of Windows” I have no idea how to fix this. Please help.

Hi,
This error is usually caused by a corrupted Windows update component. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we would like to know what troubleshooting steps have you done so far? Have you tried the resolution provided in this article?
We're looking forward to your reply.
The link does not work. None of the solutions suggested work because you never get to a start-up screen.
Hi Guys,
i solved this problem and I don’t think you’re gonna like it. Basically, I just clean install windows 10. I download the latest windows 10 (1709 build) with 2018-03 cummulative updates using Media Creation Tool and make an bootable USB.
before I wipe all the data, I use a secondary computer to backup all my files.
this is the only thing that I can do since I stop working because of this problem. I tried every suggestion from all of the forums and didn’t work.
Please help!
My laptop is also stuck on that screen. There is nothing I can do to make it stop. It is completely frozen. I have tried forcing a shut down but when I start it back up it goes right into that endless loop.
I work from home and cant work!!!!
