Windows 10 anniversary update fails and hangs computer
I have been running Windows 10 on a pretty plain Dell Inspiron. Today it asked if I wanted to install an update so I let it. After almost an hour of showing a progress meter and seeming to finish that phase, it rebooted and proceeded to seem to install but then put up a message about "install ?? this could take a while" so I walked away and when I came back after an hour I had a blank screen and just a rotating busy symbol. I am assuming this is the "anniversary" update since no other updates have ever taken this long or acted this way, except for the original Windows 10 install/update itself.
So after waiting 6 hours, I powered it off and back on and as it came up it indicated "trying to fix the install" then briefly brought up the "Dell label screen" and the usual box picture and went back to the blank screen with a busy rotating symbol.
Can someone point to a site that indicates how to get around this and restore back to where it was? Right now I have a totally unusable PC and do not know how to proceed. Thanks
By the way is it labeled "anniversary update"???
