A few hours ago my laptop started to update itself. Now he keeps restarting, but keeps breaking off and just saying
"An attempt is being made to restore the installation. Changes made to the computer will be undone."
More just doesn't happen anymore. There's no other error message either. F8 does not work to get into safe mode. Win + R doesn't work either.
so I'm looking for a way to somehow restart my laptop. There are some important files on it that I need for next Friday.
… And no, I wasn't smart enough to back it up.
Try to start the laptop in Safe Mode and then uninstall the updates again. There are more detailed instructions for this on the Internet, otherwise you can try to remove the hard drive if necessary and connect it to another computer or laptop and copy the data from there. It is best to try this first with safe mode
The problem is that I can't go into safe mode…
Do you have another device or possibly a SATA adapter available? What is it for a laptop Is the hard drive / SSD permanently installed? An MCT stick that you can use to repair Windows may help. To do this, you should also have another PC.
Try the following: Go to the UEFI / BIOS and reset the configuration to factory settings (do not reset Windows).
