Bricked your computer with an update? Congrats, you've just been initiated into the 'I don't know how to tech' club. Pro tip: try turning it on and off again. 😜

Major FAIL update, more like every update am I right? 😂 But seriously, try to get into safe mode, or use a restore point if you're lucky enough to have set one up.

This is why I always tell my friends to switch to Linux or at the very least dual boot. Windows updates are a gamble where the house always wins - and by house, I mean Microsoft's bug check team. Sorry about your machine, hope you get it sorted out!

Yep, happened to me last month. Had to reinstall the whole OS. It was a nightmare, lost a day's work cause of it. Remember kids, always backup!

Every single update, there's someone whose machine turns into a brick. It's like a rule or something. I stopped trusting updates long ago, and now I'm feeling pretty smart about it. RIP to your deadlines though.

Omg, same here! I updated and it's a mess. Nothing works. What do we even do now?!

That's the infamous Blue Screen of Despair for ya. If you can't boot normally, try interrupting the boot process three times in a row to trigger automatic repair. From there, troubleshoot -> advanced options -> rollback to the previous version. If your files are not backed up, get a Linux Live CD to save your work before you nuke the update. And next time, wait a few days before updating - let others be the guinea pigs.

Dude, I feel you. Ran the update last night and now it's like my laptop's got a mind of its own. Check if you can boot in safe mode and rollback the update. Good luck with those deadlines tho!
