2018-02-14T21:33:25+00:00 Mine was having the same issue. I had to power the laptop off, wait 30 seconds, then power it on 3 times. On the 3rd try, it booted into the login screen. The first 2 times it did the "restoring previous version loop"... one thing I did do on the 3rd try (from complete shutdown), was pressed F8 like a mad man, but it actually shot it right to the login screen...

2017-12-20T15:39:15+00:00 Hi Jennifer,
I am having the exact same problem as James and it appears many other people in additional online forums are having. we cannot even get to Windows nor a sign-in page.
The computer is essentially frozen or stuck in an endless loop. We get nowhere near Windows, it attempts to restore the previous version of Windows the screen goes completely black and it starts over again. This is been going on for 2 days straight. The Windows update or had previously attempted to install and I had some error code and then I thought I was done dealing with the update installer.
Please help. I don't have a backup image to install, it wasn't provided when I purchased mt pc.

2017-11-22T11:13:02+00:00 We appreciate the clarification, James. Since you're unable to access Settings, you can access Startup Repair from the sign-in screen. Here's how:
- On the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key down while you select Power > Restart (in the lower-right corner of the screen).
- After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot.
- Go to Advanced options then Startup Repair.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve this issue.
Let us know if there's anything else, we'll assist you further.
