Windows 10 Stuck on “Restoring your previous version of Windows” loop
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.

2018-07-03T17:50:14+00:00 This and the previous ‘answer’ are truly the most daft replies. What part of ‘stuck on a loop’ doesn’t compute? I’m ready to break my laptop over this.. its only 6 months old. This has happened with every forced, useless update that i don’t want. Previous times, its somehow ‘worked’ with enough starting and restarting. But why does this happen in the first place?? Why does every stupid update fail? I live in dread of the updates and yes, i have tried to turn them off but that doesnt seem to work either. I think this is why people switch to apple..
PLEASE HELP WITH AN ACTUAL SOLUTION BEFORE I LOSE MY DAMN MIND.

I do not know what sort of computer expertise you may have, or what help you may have access to, but I think the best chance to recover your data may be to remove the hard drive from the laptop, and connect it to a working computer to perform a backup of your photos.
It's a rotten situation to be in, and it may require taking the computer to a repair shop to do this, but I think that may be the safest option for recovering your data.
Do you know the approximate amount of data you have to recover from the drive?

I appreciate the suggestion but the problem is I can't get my computer to a point where I can click on that link. I'm replying through my phone. The laptop simply will not reach that point and I have tried multiple times with all the solutions offered in this thread.
I can't create the media tool because my laptop will not allow me to. Its simply stuck on a start up loop. There's no way to disrupt or stop this loop. I have pictures and videos of loved ones that have since passed stored on the computer and it hurts to think of them as lost. Please, if you have another solution, I'm all ears.
