    Windows 7 returns to login screen after selecting user.


    Hello,

    Windows did an update the other day automatically (I know, I should turn them off) and when I turned the computer back on it won't take me past login - won't even let me input a password, it just brings me back to the login screen.

    Windows Error - YouTube theres a recording of the issue.

    Things I've tried;
    - Booting in Safe Mode
    - Windows repair
    - Freeing up space through the command line through the system repair menu. (SSD was near full)
    - Unplugging peripherals

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Apprently it's a botched patch and KB3097877 must be uninstalled through command line.

    Definately will be trying this when I get home.
