    Do you have access to another win 10 pc to create a repair disc/drive? Then access the bios to make the pc start from the usb or cd drive

    If you can see the login screen :- SHIFT+Restart (restart is on bottom-right corner) gets you to Troubleshooting
    OR 3 restarts does the same IE
    1. start
    2. wait for black screen
    3. emergency shutdown (hold start button for 5 seconds)
    Repeat the above 3 times.

    EDIT: seeing quite a few issues with Windows 10 updates recently; RESET (with "keep data" option) fixes things at the cost of losing (non-Microsoft) program installs.
