It seems in Microsoft infinite wisdom to send a faulty update. When I tried to restore to a previous time, everything appeared to going as it should. UNTIL!

Computer rebooted, " Starting Windows" appears, logo appears, disappears, then I am greeted by a black screen. Nothing more, nothing less, just a beautiful BLACK SCREEN.

Tried to complete a repair installation, guess what, more black screen. Any tips on how to rectify?

And yes, I TRIED safe mode, safe mode with network, etc. JUST BEAUTIFUL BLACK SCREEN.

BTW, computer hardware, software was all working fine, until a faulty update took over.
