You could try this solution which involves allowing restart to fail three times in a row: Error: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might have caused the issue after you install Windows Updates. Most problems that I have seen with Windows 8 have been related to hardware.
If it is a problem with Windows Update then you could download and run a batch file to clear the update cache.
