Before you read, I am very sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. I didn't know what section to use. I am also very sorry if this is too long.
So the other day I went to go and develop an application. So I turn on my computer, and my headphones aren't connecting. I hit the restart button and it just gets stuck on the restart screen. I manually shut the whole thing off and turn it back on. It pops up saying 'Installing updates'. I got annoyed because I turned off updated 3 different ways and it still forced updated. Also I didn't want to update because I updated to that one before and I couldn't log into my account. I hit the power button on the bottom-right corner, held shift, and pressed restart. In the recovery menu I pressed on the 'Go back to previous build' button. I waited. Eventually I looked back at my computer and realized it restarted. After the restart, there was a black screen. A command-prompt opened up and then in less than a second, it closed. Then on the bottom-center of my screen said something like 'Going back to previous build' for like 2 seconds. It restarted again and did the same thing over and over. I inserted a DVD of Windows 10 to try to access the recovery menu. When I tried to click on System Restore, it said 'Select which operating you would like to use before using system restore'. I also tried to fix startup issues, and it said it found no problems. I press 'Go back to previous build' again and it wouldn't let me. I also used 'chkdsk /f C:' and 'sfc /scannow' but no luck. Something I forgot to mention is that at the beginning of the recovery, it said 'Upgrade is in progress and you accidentally opened the recovery'. When I boot up the recovery in UEFI (because some people told me to) there was a select operating system. It showed in the 1st slot something without text. In the next 5 slots showed 'Windows 10'. I have no idea why 5 Windows 10s are on the same drive. Can anyone help me with this? There is no way to fix this because I tried everything.

If the image is upside down for some reason, this is what it says:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]
X:\Sources>bootrec /fixboot
The operation completed successfully.
X:\Sources>bootrec /rebuildbcd

Please wait, since this may take a while...

The letter assignments are logical so they can change in the recovery console or usb boot.
You can type
bcdboot D:\Windows /s C:
You can type
- diskpart
- list vol
- See what letter is assigned to your windows partiton (often it will just be the biggest one and Info should say Boot)
bcdboot D:\Windows /s C:

So if I boot into CD/DVD of Windows 10, there will be an option to 'Keep Apps and Data'? I'm only making sure because the entire point of this forum post was to make sure I wouldn't have to start all the way back from the beginning.
