My friend just installed a new update from windows and when she restarted her computer it was stuck on the initial windows startup screen with the scrolling blue bar. The bar is moving but after any amount of time the computer never continues to startup. It will still run in safe mode and the update from today does not show up in the add/remove programs list.

>add/remove programs list.

You have "Show Updates" ticked in Add/Remove?

If you know the name of the update, you look for its folder ($NtUninstallKBXXXXXX$) in the windows directory and run spuninst.exe from within the spuninst subfolder. Sorting the folders by date created could help find which one if you're not sure.

Running System Restore from Safe Mode would be another option.
