I answer myself. The problem was installing Qubes OS in parallel to Windows. The UEFI partition created for Windows is 100MB size, which is too small for updating the boot kernel. The kernel update failed and therefore the system went into a boot loop. The solution was re-installing Qubes OS but deleting and re-creating a bigger UEFI partition. With the bigger partition the updated are running and the system is booting normally. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
