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.

    I have seen the error loop a few times and what seems to work is

    1. Power off the laptop.
    2. Power on the laptop.
    3. As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off.
    4. Repeat this process 2 or 3  times until you see the "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen.
    5. Now you want to let the laptop boot to the "Automatic Repair" screen.
    6. Click "Advanced Options" and then select "Troubleshoot".
    7. Here you want to select "Refresh your PC", if you do not wish to erase data, or "Reset your PC" to erase all data and restore your system.
    8. From here just follow the screen instructions until the recovery is completed.

    Hope this helps
