    Is there any way to fix this or is my laptop officially busted?

    In my case it was an nVidia update which caused the black screen w/cursor however I could still click ctrl, alt, del to bring up the task manager, I ended all instances of nVidia & the screen appeared. I uninstalled the update plus GeForce experience & downloaded
    them from the nVidia website.

    For the rotating dots not appearing they can be turned on or off so perhaps they've been turned off by a Windows update.

    Windows 10 install stuck

    During my install I seem to be stuck after a reboot on the Windows Logo and spinning dots - but its frozen with only 2 dots. After a shutdown restart it does the same thing.. Any ideas?

    Anniversary Edition no spinning dots at restart/shutdown

    I am having a Win 10 1607 restart issue.
    In my case the system tries to restart but only the screen goes black and then the screen powers off.
    The PC keeps running but will not restart.
    I have to push the reset button to restart the PC.
    Shut down works fine.
    In both cases there are no spinning dots...

    Can any one help with the restart issue.
    I have tried most suggestions on the interweb:////

    But not on all of them? Do some of them show the dots?

    No, None of my computers are showing the spinning dots, on a restart or shutdown. The dots only appear when the computers are first turned on.


    It's not causing a problem, but at first when no dots were there, I thought for at least 20 seconds that the computers were locked up. I like the spinning dots to show me that the computer is working !

    Anniversary Edition no spinning dots at restart/shutdown

    Hello, I have same issue. There are 2 computers at home. Both of them operate windows 10 (14393.51) but one of them have spinning dots at shutdown; my computer doesn't have. Is it a problem or malfunction?

    On my machine there are spinning dots on boot up but none on shutdown or restart.

    I also have a restart issue wherein my machine just turns off the screen and then hangs.

    I still have not been able to resolve this and I have installed 1607 twice direct from the ISO.

    I think it's a regression. Hopefully MS will fix it soon.

    Ok...
    I have had a partial success.
    I have managed to get the spinning dots on both restart and shut down to appear by removing the pagefile from my SSD and relocating it to my mechanical hard drive.
    It has not resolved the hanging issue with restarting though.
    I am still searching for an answer for that issue:///

    Anniversary Edition no spinning dots at restart/shutdown

    I have tried all the usual suspects.

    It is probably something specific to my setup.

    The issue did not happen with 1511 however.

    Something in 1607 is different for my pc it seems.

    I have spent many hours trying to solve this restart issue.

    I am looking at all the esoteric causes now:///

    Sounds like spinning dots anxieties. Have you checked msconfig to make sure "No GUI Boot" is not ticked in the Boot tab

    No. It's not that. My MSConfig seems fine.
