Windows update 13 Jan 18 has locked PC to the lock screen
Hi, yesterday Microsoft pushed out a major update to my PC, presumably in answer to meltdown and spectre vulnerabilities. It has locked my PC to the lock screen. If I try to login it flashes the desktop for a fraction of a second, then resets the lockscreen.
I have been able to get to advanced options by holding down shift while restarting but my monitor goes black if I select any options and I have to force shutdown. Tried hitting F12 and also delete during startup and PC starts but monitor is black, again have toforce shutdown.
Mobo = Gigabyte Z270N-wifi
CPU = Intel Core i7 7700k
Any ideas how to fix this? MS techs were no help after 4 different ones and 4+ hrs on chat with them. Everything functioned perfect before their poxy, half baked update.
