Hello! Yesterday, I was using my computer normally and when I shut it down, windows started installing some updates, as it does often. Today, I booted my PC and tried to log-in. For some reason, my computer took ages to log-in, getting stuck on the "Welcome" screen for a while. After that, instead of loading my desktop normally, the screen became white for a minute or two (flashing between white and the "Welcome" screen), but eventually I got on my desktop normally. Ctrl+Alt+Del and the Task Manager worked fine.

Nothing solved my problem, I got the white screen every time I tried to log-in (except in Safe Mode), until I used System Restore to restore my PC back to how it was before the updates. After trying to install the updates again, the problem came back, and persisted until I did another System Restore.
My GPU drivers are up-to-date, I'm 90% sure my PC is malware-free, I haven't installed any new softwares or hardware and again, the issue only occurs if I install the pending updates. The only thing I haven't tried to do it is reinstalling Windows, that will be my last option. ATM I just paused the updates and my PC is fine, but I really want to have my system up-to-date, so if anyone knows how to fix my issue, please leave your reply.
I'm not 100% sure if these are the updates that were causing the issue but they're my "suspects":
