I'm getting desperate here. I ALWAYS keep Windows Update turned off (I do not want to debate here whether that's good or bad, it's not the issue). Windows 8.1 tried to run it anyway on reboot. I tried getting into safe mood to shut off Windows Update, pressed F4 at the right time, safe boot never opened. I tried to rollback to my last good checkpoint, system restore says there are no checkpoints (I set one every week). Now, the system won't boot at all.
I'm desperate for a solution to run safe mood or system restore. I'd even let Windows Update run this one time (and only one time) if it would get the damned thing to boot.
Suggestions (other than "don't turn off Windows Update") are appreciated.
Thank you
