Android error after system update - data recovery

I updated the latest system update on 16-02-19 and since then the phone cannot boot, it shows the white sony screen and then shows the dead android red triangle error screen.

I firstly tried sony pc companion but the only suggested solution is to do a software rebuild that will wipe all data and I've got some really treasured unbacked-up photos from a few months ago that I really don't want to lose.

I've tried to launch the android recovery mode but no combination of buttons and vibrates (camera, power and volume up together have a different vibrate) can get a different screen. I've finally tried connecting the phone to a computer (windows 10) but the phone keeps trying to boot and fails to ever be properly detected by windows or any other applications (I get a device not working properly or malfunctioned error).

Is there any way to save the photos from the phone?

I'm really sorry to say this but if the phone doesn't turn on, there's no way to access the data.
