In the video, along the left and right edges, you can see it going from a desktop with icons to a white screen to a black screen and back to a desktop...infinitely:
This renders the machine useless. Almost. I was able to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and go into the Task Manager, where I eventually used another login that was stable and uninstalled the offending update which was:
KB4554132 - this bad boy was installed yesterday morning when the problem started. The problem stopped immediately after I removed that KB.
I initially looked for a missing upgrade to fix my problem because I wasn't sure what had caused it (wife surfs a lot of places I'd never go) and ended up in a loop there as well...waiting for the download, only to have it error several times in a row. That update is: KB4549951.
If I didn't have a different, stable login to use for that first kb unistall, I don't know what I would have done.
MS has some fixing to do. I tried to report the problem but couldn't find the place for Windows Update Issues. Anybody know where that might be?
My purpose here is to help somebody else in the same well pit. This one took some time and stepping away from to see options.
