Computer doesn't boot up

[markizq]

So, today when I turned on my computer, it started updating Windows, so I let it do its thing. Later when I came back there was a black screen with the white line blinking so I decided to wait. 5 mins later it was still the same. I restarted it, it's still the same. Things I have already tried: Hard reset, changing memory stick slot, bios reset. Any suggestions?🙁

The infamous Windows Automatic Updates strikes again. That's the first thing I disable after every Windows install. in spite of which I've never been hacked or had a malware infection thanks to a reliable third-party firewall & antivirus.

Don't you have a recent Windows backup (system image)?
