M1530 won't go to login screen, keeps looping

Yesterday my M1530 screwed up on me. When I first turned it on, I had a black screen and random code was running on the top left. Then it just froze so I had to shut it down. After that, whenver I try to log on, it'll go slow and after the windows logo shines, it says "Configuring Updates 3 of 3 - 100%." Then it restarts, and then continues to loop like that.

I've tried safe mode but it does the same thing; configuring updates, restart, repeat.

I've talked to XPS support, but nothing they told me was of any help. When I try to do a system restore, it says it is unable to due to an error on the C: Drive. I also ran diagnostics on the hardware, and everything is fine.

I think the whole reason it's doing this is because of a Windows Update that screwed it up. I had it so that it would update automatically when it shuts off. Last time I used it I used Dreamweaver, then I shut it off, and it did an automatic update. Now I turn it on, and this happens.


Is there ANYTHING I can do besides reformat my laptop? I have some important files on there and I really don't want to reinstall everything.

Thanks in advance.

 

this same thing happended to me and the only solution was to reinstall windows.
Yes it hurt and killed everything on my computer but that was the only option.

 

Were you able to find out why it started doing that? My conclusion was a Windows Update, especially since it says "Configuring Updates" every time.

It seems that I will have to reformat though...

 

just do a system restore bro, no need for format.

 

That's what I tried doing, but when I did, it says that it can't due to an error on the C: Drive. :/
