Installation media boots to command prompt

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

1. Windows logo on a black screen
2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
5. the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

 

Exorcising God Mode

Dugly,

The account, that had the original username Administrator, cannot be deleted. It is a system item.

All you can do is disable it as you have been trying to do.

Because you renamed it [to God mode] I am not sure what the OS now refers to it as. Enter this command in a Command prompt window
Code:

and see if it is listed as Administrator or as God mode.

If it is referred to as Administrator still then I do not know why your command
Code:

went wrong, assuming that you entered the command in an Admin prompt. That command should disable it.
- It should then disappear from Settings, Accounts & Control panel, User accounts
- It will still be listed in Net user results because that lists every account [enabled & disabled].
What response do you get to the command?

By the way, the Administrator account is no more powerful than any Admin account you create yourself.
- It is not a "Super user" in any sense.
- In some ways, it is less powerful because Apps do not run in it.
- There are often claims that the Administrator account has greater powers than the Admin accounts you create yourself but they are incorrect.

I can't think of any message along those lines. Did you take a screenshot of it?
