Microsoft has coded a new Windows 10 feature that should save users from updates that cause problems. If the operating system discovers a startup failure, it will automatically remove Windows updates if all other automatic recovery attempts prove unsuccessful. Furthermore, the problematic update(s) will be blacklisted for the next 30 days.
To ensure that your device can start up and continue running as expected, Windows will also prevent problematic updates from installing automatically for the next 30 days. This will give Microsoft and our partners the opportunity to investigate the failure and fix any issues. After 30 days, Windows will again try to install the updates.
If recently installed updates get removed, the user will receive a Windows update removal alert.

Lets hope this feature works as intended!
