[sa adams]

Has brought me on a loop. Pressed F11. Now need to choose option. Exit and continue takes me back.; I have to use a device/another operating system/ troubleshoot or turn off (which I have already done twice). Any ideas please??

Depends on how you did the update. and how old is the update, if less that 10 days old. you can go to
setting --> update and security --> recovery and have MS restore you old Installation. (hope you did not remove.delete your Windows old.

I'm having the same problem after losing power in the middle of an update. Is there an answer to this problem? It says it was solved. So how was it solved?

One of these methods should work.
This solution is to disable the automatic repair from starting if your computer fails to boot into windows.

What you will need - A Windows 10 USB-CD

Step 1: Place the CD in your drive and proceed to boot from it

Step 2: When the install screen pops up, look to the bottom left and select "Repair Your Computer".

Step 3: You will now see a screen that says "Choose an option". Select "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced Options", and finally "Command Prompt".

Step 4: You should now see the command prompt. Type "bcdedit" (without quotes) and hit enter.

Step 5: A list should have appeared. Towards the top, you should see "resumeobject" (It is under "default"). Highlight the long number, including the brackets, and copy.

Step 6: Now type "bcdedit /set (the long number you copied) recoveryenabled No" (Without quotes). Hit enter.

Step 7: You should now see the message "The operation completed successfully"

Step 8: Type "Exit" (Without quotes)

Step 9: Reboot
