IPAD Air II suddenly gets the spinning wheel of death. IOS update was one week ago

My iPad air II suddenly went into the spinning wheel of death. I googled the issue and was quickly prompted to try all the resets available. None worked. I hooked up the charge cable to my PC to try and see if a driver update can fix this and this process also failed. In "properties" for device driver it is showing that the driver is non existent. The iPad is on but only shows an image prompting the plugging in of the cable and the top of screen is the link for support.apple.com/ipad/restore.

When I try to search the link, it is dead.

Why did Apple brick my device with a dodgy update ???

It was working perfectly before the update. I will not be expected to take my device to an apple store and PAY to have this fixed either. It is their fault.

What do I do now ? Is there something I can do ?
