Interrupted update is not good.

You'll need to do a Hard Reset since you can't access settings.

Power off the phone >hold Volume Down > press Power > keep holding Volume Down until you seethe exclamation (!) screen, then immediately release the Volume Down

Now tap Volume Up / Volume Down / Power / VolumeDown

You should see the spinning gears and your phonewill reflash the last OS version held in recovery. You do loose data, but getyour phone back. Sign into your Microsoft Account and restore your backupduring the set up.

Do as the person in the comment above says.


What actually happened is as it was updating itself,you turned it off, and hence it couldn't fully upgrade itself. I would suggest first try a soft reset. (press power button and volume down button for 13 seconds.) if it restarts and the issue still remains, try hard reset, like suggested in the comment above.
