Post by: The Punisher on 27 April 2014, 04:10:04 AM
ok so my pc was updating for a good amount of time then my screen went black, i watied for about 10min. maybe and turn it off(held in power button) then turned it back on. It said it was to undo the updates so i let it do its thing. I logged on and now i cant use my start button or the side panel thing. any ideas? and i have found nothing on the internet

Sounds like your Windows Explorer isn't working. Have you attempted the update again?
