    "Your device has encountered a problem and needs to restart. You can
    restart." At this point, the device cannot complete the boot process
    and requires manual recovery steps.

    Microsoft did not provide specific steps.

    Wonder what are the manual recovery steps? Restore using an image
    backup, maybe? And then disable or postpone any further updates for
    months? You know, those scheduled (not manual) image backups that users
    are supposed to do, but most don't.

    The only solution is to enter the Windows recovery environment and
    uninstall the latest security patches.

    Presumes you can get that far in a bootup. We're supposed to permit
    Secure Boot, TPM, and Memory Integrity as protections against hackers,
    but the most likely source of attack is Microsoft.
