Windows 10: Boot Loop Even After A Fresh Install

Hi Authority,


I have been caught up with a bootloop issue since 21st Aug 2020 and haven't been able to solve it yet.


I've reached out to the customer support, which was of no help as none of them could help me out rather than just saying "no worries we are there to help you".


I had an update pending and as ever I started the update process at 20th once completed the pc turned off.

On 21st I turned my pc on, but it was different this time. Normally my pc boots up in less than a minute. But I thought due to the update there might be a delay.

After waiting for almost 2 hours I contacted the customer support at which I received merely any help.


On 24th I received a call from the customer executive and I informed him that I have the ISO ready with me provide me the further steps after which the call was disconnected, I again called back and to my surprise got in touch with an executive who was really of no help. On a call spanning for an hour I was on hold for more than 40 mins.


Finally I informed the executive that I'll try and take care of it as she insisted me to give her the control of the other laptop on which I made the bootable pendrive.


Finally I went ahead sacrificing the data with a fresh installation. After the installation was completed, the laptop company logo was stuck again with the loading animation.


After some 2 hours I received a popup stating, the computer restarted unexpectedly and the windows installation could not proceed.


Just to check if there is not hardware issues I installed Ubuntu on my PC which is working like a charm.


It'd be great to receive some help from this community.


Details:

PC : Lenovo IdeaPad 320

RAM : 8 GB

HDD : 2 TB

Processor : Intel i5 7th Gen

Graphics : Nvidia GeForce 920

Windows Edition : Windows 10 Education

Thanks

:)

 

Fresh USB Windows 10 Install - Failing

I am trying to install a fresh copy (reformatted the hard disk) of windows 10 using a USB

• Created an installation media on a USB flash drive (Win 10 pro) from this page Download Windows 10
• Changed the boot order on the other PC so that it boots using USB
• Selected custom install
• Installing Windows goes through the following steps successfully: Copying Windows Files, Getting Files ready for installation, Installing features, Installing updates and before the last step (Finishing up), it restarts
• Then it goes back to the start of the installation steps

I am stuck and have read numerous posts but don't know what to do to install a fresh copy of Win 10.

 

Boot loop

Hi Terri,

This issue occurs when there are broken components on the boot configuration data of your system. To troubleshoot your boot loop issue, we suggest that you boot in
safe mode through the Windows
Recovery Environment option. To do this, follow these steps:

• Turn on your computer. When the Windows logo appears, unplug and replug the device. Perform these steps three times.
• On the fourth instance, turn on your device without unplugging it. The Windows Recovery Environment window will appear.
  
• On the Choose an option screen, click Troubleshoot.
• Click Advance options.
• Click Startup Settings.
• Click Restart.
• Once your computer restarts, you will see a list of options. Press the F4 key to start your computer in
  safe mode.
  

Once done, we suggest that you perform a system restore after booting in safe mode. System Restore will be able to revert your PC or laptop to their previous state, which can be used to repair and recover system malfunctions or issues. Restoring won’t affect
your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click the Start button, and then select
Control Panel.

2. Search Control Panel for
Recovery.

3. Select Recovery > Open
System Restore > Next.

4. Choose the restore point related to the problematic
app, driver, or update, and then select
Next > Finish.
