Hello,
I'm not sure that you saw my post about uninstalling the latest quality update, people have said that it worked and that they got their system back. There's no reason to take your PC to Geek Squad, all they do is charge you for wiping your hard drive and reinstalling Windows, which in reality only takes $8 (the price to buy an 8GB USB) and reinstalling Windows, or no money at all, which is to reset your laptop yourself. You don't have to install updates, however your system will suffer from bugs (e.g. this update) and you have the option to wait until you find an update that you think will work (which is why the Pause Updates option is available to you).
