Please help, just upgraded my Windows 10 to the latest version and I'm encountering this problem. Can't get pass the Lenovo icon. Update was carried out automatically when I connected my computer to a WiFi network. This is the first time I'm installing an update since 2016

I don't even have a way to back up any of my data because I don't possess a hard disk or flash drive. I just want to return back to my former windows 10 version

You upgraded or updated your windows 10?
Did you upgrade your windows 7/8 to windows 10 or you updated your windows 10?
If it's the formal,that is upgrading from lower versions to windows 10, it comes with a lot of complications, especially with our epileptic internet speed here.
What you need to do is to download the latest windows 10 .iso file and burn to CD or USB.
This will save you lots of stress,you will always have a copy in case you need to reinstall for yourself or others.
If it's the latter,that is you updated your windows 10,it means the update was not successful or some feature updates we're not downloaded successfully,but windows try to install them.
Update replaces old windows files,if the update is installed,and you try to reboot,there will be boot failure due to the files that were not downloaded completely.
There are lots of troubleshooting tips you could use like repairing boot failure from cmd, system restore,safe mode etc but don't waste your time.
Just download the latest windows 10 and burn to CD or USB.
Then disable windows update,not just to save data but to make sure you click update only when you have enough data to completely download it.

If you have important files,don't format them I can help you copy them into my HDD,but if you don't have any important files you will like to keep you can reformat.
What happened was that the updates was not 100% completed,but windows went ahead to install them, replacing older windows file. When you restarted, windows try to boot from the update files,which are incomplete or missing

Unsuccessful update. You should do it again. I'll advise you use CD or USB drive

I actually updated from Windows 10 (1611 build i think).I was already considering doing a system format. I've got lot of important files majorly academic and loosing them will be disastrous. I will get the ISO file from a colleague next week and I'm hopeful the problem would be resolved. Thank you. I will give a feedback

If you're sure it has no virus inside then disable your antivirus and download it.

Check if your PC Bluetooth driver is installed.
Go to settings/ device manager
Look for Bluetooth driver,if it's not there,it's missing. Download the driver on your Pc manufacturer website or use driver pack .
If it's there but showing yellow icon,right click it and select update.
But if the driver is there with no yellow label,it means the fault is not from the driver.
Get a good data cable and use to transfer files from your phone to PC.its way faster than Bluetooth.

Since your other devices see and connects with your spectranet easily,the problem might be your WiFi driver.
You should reinstall it with the latest wifi driver available for you device.
Go to your PC manufacturer's website to download the latest wifi driver for your PC.
Go to device manager,locate the wlan broadcom and uninstall it. Then install the newly downloaded driver and restart your PC

Yes there are many ways.
I told you this because it's the safest place to get your device driver.
Now try this
1. Select windows 7 or 8.1 and download it. Install and see if it will install. I think it will.
2. Buy driver pack CD,insert into your PC and run. It scans your PC for missing,outdated or faulty drivers and installs them.
3. Go to Google,type " driver pack.exe" download it, less than 5mb. Download and install. It searches your PC for missing outdated or faulty drivers and installs them.
4. Download driver reviver and run. It searches your PC for missing outdated drivers and install them.
5. Go to settings/ device manager/ right click the driver and select update,you need internet for this.
