I think if I can remove this pending update I might be able to boot normally, or at least run SFC and hopefully then bootĭoes anyone know what I should try to remove this pending update that appears to be preventing a successful boot? So it seems something happened to an unfinished update and is still pending. Restarting of course doesn't change anything.

'There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. I have tried running SFC /SCANNOW in a command prompt in the recovery console and get the message: Using the F8 option to restore last known good configuration doesn't change anything. Then after a few seconds the computer reboots and does the same thing. For an unknown reason (my guess is an update was automatically applied and automatically restarted), my computer rebooted overnight and in the morning was stuck in a failed boot loop.
