Describe the problem
Boot loop
What have you tried?
Tried restarting, loop is still there
Update was downloading, and let it run.

Afterwards the computer is stuck in a restart loop, not even Safe Mode can be accessed.

Does anyone have a fix?

When the PC is turned off, wait a couple of seconds - and press the power button, that's how I do it.

If no result (PC doesn't show desktop) - then tourn PC off, and look at your memory strips - take them out and put them back, clean the contacts a bit...if no results, change your memory strips, one by one (attention to electrostatic...). If no results, maybe this is problem of some Microsoft update...

I think just put it in USB Drive, and then restore by command prompt MBR.... there are to many solutions for that. But i'm 100% sure by commands is easy fix.

If you do get your Windows back, install Marcrium free and make a full image on an external DVD, hard drive of USB stick just for this occasion. And for those times when update fails and just keeps trying over and over again this works for me and I have had to do this at least 3 or 4 times on insider builds.

Go into drive C
Go into the Windows Folder
Find the Software Distribution Folder
Delete all the files in there
Run the update again normally

Will restart twice before creating a restore point.
