Same, I had a BSOD on every boot halfway through the Windows logo part of the process. I had to make a Windows flash drive with another computer and do a repair install to get my PC back. And the first thing I saw on the first successful boot was "Welcome to Edge!"

The Windows 10 bootloader likes living on the... edge. One wrong step and it's toast, two wrong steps and not even recovery can help you :D

I found installing Windows 10 in legacy (not UEFI) BIOS mode makes it more stable, and the various recovery tools (sfc, bootrec, etc) actually work. Strange, but this is Windows, so maybe not that strange.
