Windows 10: black screen and spinning dots

I updated my two Windows 10 laptop and got an issue on both of them. At present when I am rebooting my PC, I see spinning circle on the black screen. I tried to restore the system but it didn’t help.

Laptops are Dell and Lenovo. I updated to 1809 version

Black screen with Spinning dots after Windows 10 updates

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the PC’s?
   
2. Are the PC’s connected to domain network?
   

I suggest you to refer the article Troubleshoot
black screen or blank screen errors, refer the section
I see a black or colored screen with spinning dots after restarting my device.



However, if the PC’s are connected to domain network, I suggest you to post your query on
TechNet forumswhere
we have experts on domain environment.



Hope it helps.

Windows 10 black screen spinning dots

I left my computer on overnight and apparently it did an update. I don't think it was the anniversary update, but I don't know for sure.

It's sitting with a black screen with the spinning dots. It doesn't respond to shift-ctl-del

I've tried rebooting (after holding the button down for 10 seconds) several times

and have tried to get into recovery mode by holding either F8, or Shift F8, or F4.

Each time I get the windows logo briefly (with spinning dots) and then it goes back to the empty black screen with spinning dots.

I don't have a recovery usb or media to boot from.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

 

Forever boot Spinning white dots with black screen no logo 0x80000003


Hello.

My computer doesnt boot. I get forever spinning white dots with black screen just right after MSI logo.

I have 2 windows seperate drives. I had problems in past when this drive couldn't boot. If I remember correctly, 2-3 times I got it to boot by using some of DISM commands, it had similair problem. Dism and sfc scannow fixed it.

But Now any command I use gets to error or crashes. I suspect that disk is in active state or something. Because from second windows drive the broken Nvme samsung evo drive is showing NTFS only and i cannot access it.

But I can access broken disk from any rescue enviroment. The disk is new and tested and it is fine. Files are not damaged.

I tried to provide a bit of debug information. And what I tried. Please let me know if you need anything more.
