Are there any Freepers literate in WIN 10 here that could guide me thru or direct me to a reliable source to fix a laptop? Right now, the screen is stuck on "chose your language" ( English) of course, and that's it! Nothing. This happened after it updated itself. Nothing, Nada, Zip

Thanks for posting this.
Hopefully, I’ll learn some stuff about 10.

When I used win 10 and ran into things like this I would power off and on until the repair tools started at boot up

I overloaded mine with videos and a blue screen came up with ‘Bit Locker”.
I called Dell computer and they walked me through it.
Hint: To get a new screen try hitting F2 key repeatedly until it changes.

I had the exact-same problem, then did what always seems to work:
Press the power key until it shuts off—wait—then press the power key again.

... agree with #17 - install a linux version (Ubantu is an excellent choice - can be made to look almost exactly like Windoze). Most are free or around $100 USD. Significant applications like M$ Office have Linux versions or similar offerings. Many of those are also free.

Always worth a try—take the battery out of the machine.
Then put it back in and power up—see if that helps...

Sounds like it upgraded itself and there was a glitch - should have taken care of itself - try a hard reboot - if it hangs again, try a hard reboot and try safe mode (if safe mode is even available now).
Good luck.
