Windows 10 Update & Now Computer won't Boot

A few weeks ago I took an update to Windows 10. When the system rebooted I received a white screen and an error saying "Can't read instructions form address blah, blah, blah'. I clicked OK and just had the white screen. Now, when I boot up I get the windows logo and the spinning disk but then only get the white screen. I have tried to boot up in safe mode by hitting ESC & F8 but it won't give me the boot menu. I have a Toshiba laptop, maybe 5 years old. I7 processor. Help??

The update may not have worked for some reason - do you have a backup to recover from? It maybe worth removing the laptop battery for several minutes to see if this resets something - but don't hold your breath. Do you have access to another PC? If so, try making Macrium Reflect Recovery USB drive and booting from that your repair your PC boot partitions. Also, you could try the bootable recovery disk by Kyhi on this forum Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk
