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.

    Hello

    I am using a bootcamp partition on Mac. I usually use parallels desktop to access it. It was forced into an update by auto update despite the partition not having enough space for it. Upon installing bootcamp, it says you cannot adjust its disk space after creating it. It is stuck in the loop with no sign in page or anything.

    It is very important that I get my partition back because I have just spent around 8 hours on a school project and it is about to be lost if I can't get it working again. It wasn't even finished yet.

    How can I recover it with Bootcamp on a mac?

    Thanks, Ruby

    Guys the solution that worked for me is force powering it off then i press the power button a let go and as soon as the small light bulb indicator turns on i keep pressing the F8 key untill i get the normal laptop logo boot up screen it will boot up normally and then you will get the sign in screen and it will be black after sign in but then you will get your usual desktop screen.

     PS. Never updating again.

    Hi James,

    I understand your problem.

    The best thing to do is to simply wait. Even if it takes a few hours, I recommend doing this before you do anything else. Hope this helps.

    Ben
