I saw this on some discord, so I thought I'd share. Don't know how true it is..
"If you have a windows machine, and use Dropbox, make sure you don't host your dropbox folder on your C:\ along with your main windows folder. Dropbox has a cache folder that will corrupt any windows restore point. I installed a windows update, got into a boot loop, and was unable to restore. Had to do a clean windows install. Apparently this is a known 3+ year bug between Dropbox and Windows. :/ I moved my dropbox folder onto another drive and disabled that drive from windows' backup. "
