    Windows 10 is always stuck at spinning dots; can't reset and can't recover

    I just upgraded my Alienware Aurora R4 from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Everything seemed to go okay. I was able to log in and everything as per the usual. Then I went to reboot it, and now it stays stuck at the spinning dots (before loading Windows). I am able to get into the BIOS but I cannot do a lot of things I have been trying to do to fix it:

    • Can't boot into Safe Mode (stuck at spinning dots).
    • Tried running the command prompt from the recovery screen and doing chkdsk and sfc scans. Nothing seemed to be wrong.
    • Can't System Reset (also gets stuck at spinning dots).
    • Can't boot into Windows 10 USB recovery media I made for it (tried both legacy and UEFI boot mode options, but this also is stuck at the spinning dots).
    • I unplugged all peripherals besides mouse and keyboard.
    • ePSA boot looks good; no problems found.

    I have researched into this, I know that some people have successfully been able to reset after this, but not I. Similar questions haven't helped. I can't seem to do anything. I don't mind wiping this garbage PC at this point and reinstalling from scratch, but am unsure how. It looks like I may need to run some other boot software to wipe the entire system off the PC. Any suggestions?

    Anniversary update stuck on spinning dots

    I cannot install the anniversary update on my desktop. It shows a never ending spinning dots after rebooting during the update. I was waiting overnight with no progress. Hard drive stays idle. It behaves the same when Windows updates automatically or when
    I run the update from a USB drive created with media creation tool. As suggested somewhere here, I uninstalled Norton antivirus, made sure Microsoft Defender and firewall were disabled, unpugged a network cable, disabled the network card in BIOS and did a
    clean boot (disabled all non-Microsoft services) before running the update. Still, update gets stuck at the same point.

    I uploaded pictures of the screen for three steps the update comes through (stuck on the third step) as well as System Information to OneDrive. The link is Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

    Can someone please help me to perform the update?
