Default Win10 latest update

Not just win 10, a couple of weeks ago a windows 7 update stopped my machine
from getting past a bios message. I had to get a sighted person in to go
into bios and change the boot settings to a fixed option to get it back.
I'm suspicious that they did not test the system with enough settings
before they put it out. A friend had more troubles and it booted part way
and then give up in win10, and when he tried to roll back it reported an
error and suggested a windows reinstall was the only way out.

My Win10 laptop announced this morning it was installing a new update, so
I let it get on with it. It seemed it was not that large an update, for
several minutes later it rebooted, then announced it couldn't load my
personal settings - then just stopped with a black screen, with the
announcement in the top corner. I eventually forced a reboot, same result,
then the same again. At the fourth attempted reboot, it all loaded up as
normal, as if nothing untoward had happened.

I then ran a virus check and a HDD health check, no problems reported.
Anyone else had a problem?
