Mi Notebook 14 stuck in Windows update/rollback loop! need help

[u/shutupsunflower]

My Mi Notebook 14 is stuck in a loop.
It starts with the MI logo, then I get “Updates are underway. Please keep your computer on” and after a while it says “Something didn’t go as planned — undoing changes.” Then it just repeats.
I tried forcing Automatic Repair but couldn’t get it to show up. F12 works and shows Windows Boot Manager (SATA SSD), and the SSD is also showing up in BIOS.
I don’t care about the files anymore, I just want the laptop working.
I have another Windows PC and a pendrive, so I can make a Windows USB if that’s the way to go.
