I've seen a ton of these threads but all the advice seems to be "do this thing on your computer" and as the issue is the screen is stuck on "Failure configuring windows updates, reverting changes" and I am unable to get past it to log in, that advice isn't all that relevant to me.
My laptop was hard reset in the middle of trying to shut down for updates because the battery was low and it became fully depleted before I noticed. It was stuck on "preparing to configure windows, don't turn off your computer" for about 6 hours. So I tried rebooting it in safe mode. When it loaded it said the same thing, then rebooted its self and brought its self back into normal mode, this time displaying "Failure configuring windows updates, reverting changes. Don't turn off your computer". It's been 3 hours now. Do I just wait it out...?

As an aside: Lol I guess I should get a mac...?
