A whole batch of issues, seemingly from an interrupted Windows update.
I got a new computer approximately 2 weeks ago, with windows 10 as It's operating system.
Earlier today I decided to update and restart my computer. It all wen't smooth and normal, until I logged on to my user account. I saw the familiar screen greeting me like it would when I logged on to my account the first time on a new computer. The whole "Hi", "Don't turn off your computer, it's getting ready", etc. Whatever the reason for this I don't know.
Anyway, I accidentaly stumped on the power switch as I was getting a PS4 controller from behind the computer and it shut down. I started the machine again and logged on to my account, only to see a blinking black/gray screen with the occassional glimse of my taskbar before it instantly dissappears again. The only thing I saw was the black screen and my cursor. I had no ability to do anything, except "ctrl, alt, tab". I brought up task manager and saw that I had no access to almost anything.
I browsed the internet for a solution and figured I would just reboot it. I downloaded the win 10 installation software onto and usb hdd. I then booted it through task manager in my desktop, it started installing normally as expected and restarted a couple of times. Then another annoying thing happened. After a restart, my screen did not respond to the computer at all. It is connected with DP to my GTX 1060 and I tried additional connections in terms of HDMI/DVI, but to no avail. My computer just didn't recognize screens.
And now I sit here in the dark, afraid to turn of my PC and cause another chain of annoying events that will pull me further from salvation, because I cannot ****ing see if it's still installing. I realized that the computer stopped restarting a while ago, because my keyboard will turn on and off when it does.
This whole heap of problems is moderately triggering and I would like any advice you might have to effectively deal with the issue. I am trying my best to avoid having to send my computer in to tech support for 2+ weeks because of something I cannot fathom being a hardware issue.
