A couple days ago, I downloaded a Windows update on to my PC. After installing the update, the colors we're all messed up. Here's some screenshots from my video on YT about it:

So I started off by uninstalling the update. That didn't fix the problem. I tried reinstalling graphics drivers, rolling back to old versions, etc. Nothing software related would fix it.

A lot of the time colors like this could be because of corrupted ram, so I removed one stick at a time to see if it was one of those. It wasn't; the problem remained. Next, I was going to completely reinstall windows since it probably was a software issue, since everything worked fine literally the second before restarting my PC after the update. I inserted the USB with windows on it, as I've done a thousand times, but this time when pressing the key combination to boot into bios, nothing loaded and it hung on a black screen. So I removed the battery from the motherboard for a few minutes to try and reset the BIOS, since it was probably corrupted or something. That didn't fix it. Actually, it made it worse. Now I can't even boot into BIOS or windows. No matter if I press buttons or not, it always hangs on a black screen.

So what should I do now? Ive tried everything i can to fix it, but it won't work.

Specs are:
Ryzen 5 1600 CPU
ASUS Prime B350 Plus motherboard
16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz RAM
GTX 960 GPU
500GB SSD as boot
Windows 10

I would just start by completely uninstalling your video card and rebooting to let windows try to figure it out. If that doesn't work try installing generic drivers, the basic of basic drivers. Most video cards will work fine abeit at a lower resolution. Do this for testing. If you boot up in safe mode how does the video look?

So I finally got it to boot. I reinstalled Windows and everything works fine. But the Windows update problem is still happening. After installing the fall creators update, the colors are all messed up again. Like before, reinstalling graphics drivers doesn't fix it. This is obviously a software issue at this point. My GPU has always worked fine and it only happens as soon as I install the fall creators update (update 1709 I believe it is?). So does anyone have any suggestions, other than simply not installing it? I like to stay up to date, so I would like to install it if possible..
