My computer attempted to complete a windows update and continues to say that it’s at 30% then reboots...it’s doing this on a never ending cycle. Is there anyone else who has this problem? If so, is there a fix? I know I’m not under warranty anymore but the computer isn’t even 2 years old yet so for a windows update to have affected the computer in a poor way, already, is very disappointing. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.
Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat
AND/OR - Power on your PC, press Esc (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).
