Well, I had my laptop--a Dell N5110 with 8GB of RAM--get reduced to near unbootability after a major update. That really had me using words that would get me a ban here.
It would boot to a blue screen where I would have to choose my keyboard, and then I'd go to another screen where I had a few different choices such as rollback or troubleshoot. For some reason repair was not an option-perhaps because no networking--wi-fi or wired--was working.
I had to buy a new thumb drive so I could build a USB repair drive and it would do an offline update, but the desktop was not working well, the windows logo didn't give me access to a start menu or anything else.
My system is pretty borked-up.
I did get the bright idea to clear the thumb drive and install a portable Ubuntu Linux distro and I have hopfully recover all the important stuff. Wi-Fi is working fine as well so it is definitely a software issue.
Next step is to rebuild the USB recovery drive and do a clean install of Win 10--I hope that I can get things back up and running again.
