Try starting your system and repeatedly press the F2 key on the Lenovo logo screen, on a Lenovo, that should get you into the recovery environment.

I have a Lenovo laptop and Windows 10. Since the last update my laptop had been stuck on the splash screen (windows logo with circular ring just turning). I have tried booting differently from changing settings in BIOs, I turned off fast booting. I've tried Shift-FN-F8 to get to recovery and also restarted my laptop 3-5 times but it still won't take me to the recovery options for me to try and uninstall the latest update.

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.
Do the following: Turn off the computer, wait 1 minute and turn it on again while holding down the Shift key to try to force the WinRE (Recovery Environment) boot.

Re-enable secure boot and boot Windows when you are at the Lenovo logo screen and the dots load, you will wait for a load, just a loop and a forced shutdown to try to access WinRE.

I tried this several times but it does nothing, it just goes straight to the splash screen and loads and loads with nothing happening
