I have done this, and things are now worse. It again stopped at 46%, but after I restarted, I can no longer boot to Windows. BSOD comes up with stop code "NTFS FILE SYSTEM". Restarts itself, and then loads "Preparing Automatic repair". The screen goes black, even if left for 30+ minutes. Restarting the PC starts this loop all over again.
I'm now at real risk of losing everything. I have no way to boot the PC. I cannot get out of the loop described above to boot into Safe mode. I tried a Win10USB install to repair the PC - failed. System Restore form the USB is not available, even though I have restore point(s). I cannot re-install Win10, because the USB instructs me to restart and select the Windows installation to install over, but I can't do that due to the loop I described.
What are my options here?
