can rollback to the previous update? look under settings>update and security>recovery. then there should be a roll back to the previous version of windows. worth a shot if you havent tried. 

She probably would if she could get it to boot.

Did you get the blue screen of death?

Is the blue screen of death even still a thing?

BSODs still happen, but Win10 has it so that the computer immediately starts a data dump procedure to send to MS (if you opted in), provides you with a QR explaining what is going on and then attempts a reboot.

Exactly..

I'm taking it to the computer place today.

Gonna sound dumb, but when we had issues at work with Dell & IBM laptops going dark, we'd just undock or unplug and pull the battery for a few seconds.  Then reverse the process.

It always worked.

Forgot - you could also check the CMOS battery.

Scotch tape comes in handy for those screws.  Just sticky enough without leaving residue.

I bought on of those cheap Home Depot plastic screw organizers for that.  MacBooks have  shit ton of screws of different lengths to deal with.
