Don't if it's just my system, but last night a windows update got stuck at 96% (saw it when I woke up in the morning).

After rebooting, I got a nasty "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area" error that led to a nasty bootloop.

Eventually I was able to boot into Windows 10 and everything seems to be working fine (ran a system file check, some files were found to be corrupted).

This is on an ancient Haswell laptop from 2014; my initial thoughts were this was definitely tied to my hardware, the laptop is really outdated and I use it heavily (have a modern desktop, but I am away from home), but perhaps something was wrong with the update.

I guess I will found out.
