Failed Laptop Update

[CTRL1]

Hello! My laptop suggested an update this morning. After the update, the hp screen will turn on and say "preparing automatic repair." This has continued for hours. I have tried to turn it on and off and the same screen appears. I saw that this is a common problem online, but am unable to resolve it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can't access any of my settings or my homescreen.

Hello @CTRL1 

Sorry to hear that you are having problems ... I would like to help you.

(1) Power on notebook

When seeing the Windows logo press and hold <power> button to power off notebook !

- Repeat this procedure at least 3 times to get into <Windows Recovery Environment>

(2) Troubleshoot > Advanced options > System Restore

- Click Next when the System Restore widget opens.

- In the pop-up window, you may see the restore points you have created. Choose the most recently created one and click Next to continue.

- You are asked to confirm the restore point. If everything is OK, click Finish to start the restoration operation.
