Venting windows 10 kb5001331 bricked my laptop and it's probably good as garbage now

i fucking hate it here. this month has just been bad luck after bad luck, with my $1500 laptop a pile of garbage because the new windows update just made it a pricey laptop with an eternal black screen. im really worried because i wont be able to do my work for online classes and join zoom classes and shit. it really feels like the world hates me.

You can't boot it up in safe mode and roll back the update? Or reformat to factory settings?

Have you tried resetting the BIOS settings?

Cheapest way would be linux usb stick -boot from it and then access the files of ssd/hhd and work from there, im sure you could order it pre installed online. Or get a cheap wearable hdd usb drive and swap the hdds, would need another pc to mount nonetheless..

Maybe a friend could help with this, good luck!

Ps still using good old win7 x3

Oh... Though, if you are able to access BIOS, it should be possible to try to boot a portable OS (I would recommend Tails).

Other reason why I run Linux on my laptop. (For beginners I recommend Manjaro and Linux Mint... Ubuntu is spyware :P )

I don't know if this really helps but back in the early days of Windows 10, there was a method to trigger automatic repair on Windows 10...

Power on your laptop, then wait for like 4-6seconds and then force shut it off (by removing the battery or pressing the power button long enough) and repeat this at least 4 or five times.

Then you should get a screen that says "Preparing for automatic repair". If this won't work, you get thrown into option menu and somewhere should be a option that says something about restoring the system to previous state or anything like that (Don't reset windows! It will wipe your data!!)

If you live in Germany (Preferably in the state Hessen or NRW), I could gladly meet you in some public place and do a full data backup with Acronis Live DVD and reinstall Windows without loosing the data.


Eventually, if you have a 2 spare USB flash drives and a second device, I can share with you my Acronis Business license and you could flash acronis with Etcher on your USB by youself and backup all the data to some flash drive

you could create a bootable usb with windows to fix your os. if you want i can send you a detailed message on how to potentially go down this route. alot of good options here.
option one, linux(alot of upfront work, but once you have it how you like it. it won't brake itself. my laptop is running ubuntu 14, they are at 20 I believe, and I refuse to let it update.)
option 2 use windows to fix windows. (it's gonna be fun to see if your laptop will allow us to do this. some manufacturers don't because we are messing with "their" operating system.
