  1. Windows 10 login loop after the 1903 update


    Hello. I'm having trouble with logging into my computer. The problem is: when I enter my PIN/password, the screen says "Welcome" and the circle next to the text is spinning endlessly. I've been waiting for 1 and a half hour but the screen still shows a spinning circle and it seems as if nothing progressed. There's no buttons I could click, so I have to hold the power button on my laptop keyboard for it to turn off, and then turn it on again to get to the login page. I've restarted my PC multiple times and I am losing my patience.

    This all started after I installed the newest 1903 Windows 10 update using the update assistant - I haven't been able to log in since the update was ready to be installed.

    What should I do to stop the loop? I would appreciate any help.

    :)

  2. Unable to login to the PC after updating to Windows 10 1903 update

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while logging in to the PC after installing the latest Windows update. I appreciate your time and effort in trying to resolve the issue by performing certain steps to login.



    To understand the issue better, please respond to the questions below:



    1. Is the PC connected to university network/domain network?
    2. Is the computer connected to the internet while you are trying to login to your computer?


    If you are not connected to internet, please connect an Ethernet cable to the PC and then try logging.



    However, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.



    Method 1:



    Try booting the PC in to safe mode and check if you are able to login. Refer the article

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10




    If the issue persists, please try the next method.



    Method 2:



    Since you are unable to login, I would suggest you to try rolling back the update and check. Refer the section
    Go back to your previous version of Windows in the article
    Recovery options in Windows 10




    In addition, you can also try resetting the password for the university account and check if you are able to login. In order to reset the password please get in touch with the university.



    If the issue persist, please get back to us with the result of troubleshooting steps to assist you further with the issue.

  3. Windows 10 Login Crash Loop

    Hi David,



    • Which screen are you referring to?
    • Are you able to login to Desktop?
    • Are you able to see the login screen?


    The power icon referred in the steps is present at the login screen. If you are able to see the login screen where you enter the password to go to Desktop, then you need to follow those steps. These steps to be followed if you are able to reach to
    login screen but unable to go to Desktop.



    Please provide us more information related to the issue so that we can assist you further.

    Windows 10 login screen loop

    I have this same looping login screen problem. I ran SFC and found no violations. I still can't get into windows past the login screen. Selecting the lower left icon just loops back to the same picture screen. Multiple ctrl/alt/delete just loops. Repairing
    Windows from a boot media didn't help either. Anyone have other suggestions?
