  1. Windows 10 gets stuck on boot


    One day I booted up my PC and it got stuck on a."Please wait" screen with the loading circles stuck and nothing happens, it got stuck before I was even able to do anything, I'd force it to shut down by holding the power button then powered it back on, same thing happens and I shut it down and power it on again, this time it brings me to recovery mode and from here I've been forced to just boot in safe mode, back up what I need, then wipe the PC completely and start fresh, nothing else works (safe mode networking does not work at all while regular safe mode does).

    It works great for a while but several months later it happened again and I had to repeat the above process, safe mode, backup files, wipe PC, I was then able to use the PC fine again until today just now when I restarted it and once again got stuck on the cursed "Please wait" with the loading circles frozen and not moving, I'm going to back up my files since then and wipe again but I'm really getting fed up with this, this problem has happened multiple times now regardless of any updates I've installed in between.

    I'm wondering if there's any known cause of this or if it's something I'm doing wrong but if I remember correctly, or ways to avoid this from happening again, iirc the first time this occured was after having forcibly shut down in the middle of a windows update, which I've done my best to not shut down mid update again since then.

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

    Windows 10 gets stuck on boot

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
