Lenovo T400 laptop
The latest windows 10 updates were forced upon me, a result of these updates is now I am unable to use my laptop.
I power on the laptop
I am able to get to the login screen and enter my password.
After entering my password I am left with a black screen in which I am able to move my mouse around.
I do see the hard drive being accessed from time to time.
I can perform Ctrl, Alt, Del and I have Lock, signout and Task Manager. (power button, wifi etc.)
Clicking task manager leaves me with a black screen. (does nothing)
Starting up in safe mode goes no where.
I have safe mode in the four corners of the screen, time and date in the lower right, start button lower left.
hover over anywhere in the task bar and get the spinning circle.
Click on the start button and a window pops up, "the application is not responding. The program may respond again if you wait"
"X" "end process" and "cancel" are the options.
I am able to roll back to a previous version, however, automatic updates that I am not able to turn off force the download and update again.
This is killing my data....
How do I get this update to take without having a black screen?
I have even tried downloading windows 10, creating a USB drive and trying to install that way. Same result.
I can't seem to perform the fixes I find on the web because I am unable to access the laptop in any meaningful manor after the update.
