Here's what happened: Windows automatically grabbed some updates, then forced a restart after 2 days in order to install them. After the restart, after the boot screen (With the Win8 logo and spinning dots), my monitor went into standby for a second or two, then it kept intermitently
flashing between a dark shade of black and a lighter grey. Same for my Num Lock key, they both kept flashing randomly at 0.5-1sec intervals. All I could do is restart only to receive the same treatment. Something similar would happen under safe mode too. My
only fix was to boot into repair mode and restore the PC to an earlier point. Now it's all back to normal, except for the fact that the bad updates are already half-installed and pending a restart again. I don't plan on repeating this cycle forever, and restoring to an even earlier point is not feasible. And here's where I turn to
you for suggestions on what I should do.Here's a list of the updates that are going to kick in after the restart (They have a "Pending restart" status):KB2793210; KB2778344; KB2805490; KB2799494; KB2795944; KB2790655; KB2729100; KB2793210; KB2778344; KB2805940; KB2799494; KB2793210; KB2778344; KB2809450; KB2799494; KB2795944; KB2790655; KB2792100;
