    So it looks like the new update caused a partition issue and gave you an X drive. What you need to do is go cd c:\ to get to the C drive and rerun the following

    sfc /scannow

    Then run

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    That should work. Remember to run it in the C drive not the X drive

    How do you get to the right place to do this?  Command prompt is not an option.

    How do you get to "restore previous version"???   I'm trying to do that, but I don't have any way to open anything....

    I faced this problem too. First it was the black screen with a long message. I restarted my com and then I received Sihost.exe and explorer.exe error messages.

    Looking through all the various suggestions gave me a headache (total tech noob here).

    What I did was forcing my com to enter automatic repair (reboot the com 3 times).

    Troubleshoot and head all the way to Restore previous version.

    The restoring took about 15-20mins for me and my com is back (and hence I can type this).

    I think this would be the easiest way. I don't know if it will work for everybody but it worked for me. I'm taking extra precaution not to let windows update again until this stupid update issue is solved for good.
