It happens sometimes when updates fail. Just hard power down and restart. Odds are after a restart or two it will be back. If it starts going to a bluescreen or throws other errors, let us know. I've tried a hard restart a few times. Comes back to the same screen. I waited over an hour earlier and nothing. |
