I have an ultrabook with windows 8 and yesterday I was installing my windows updates and the system froze. I used ctrl,alt,delete to log off the computer, started it up and tried again. Again the update froze (I was still able to get online, etc but there was no progress or response from the installer). Again I logged off, after waiting a bit I tried turning on the computer again. Now I am stuck at start up - I get the initial screen but when I click rather than showing users I get a blue scree that says please wait. After a little while it goes back to the initial screen, but everytime you try to proceed it says please wait. After an hour last night I was still being told to please wait. 

Hi 

Please Repair your windows Using Media installation and then Try to update if you have problem please report .

best regards

I cannot even get to the login screen. All I see is the initial screen that open when the computer is turned on and then a blue screen that says please wait.

How the Windows 8 Automatic Repair feature works

I don't have a disk drive and I do not have a Windows 8 installation disk.

Hi,

I suggest you go to the startup repair console to use a system restore or automatic repair for your current situation:

Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)
