  1. My PC won’t boot, all I see is an endless spinning circle, any solutions?


    Similar to what’s stated in the question. This issue has been ongoing for a few weeks. When I boot my PC, the windows logo shows and the circle spins as normal for about 5 seconds, then it freezes, then a black screen appears and the cycle starts over. I’ve tried to load in advanced mode by restarting 3 times but had no luck. I can’t load in safe mode, I can only load up the bios by pressing ‘delete’, but I’ve had no luck when changing boot order. Does anyone have any solutions?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 stuck at black screen with endless spinning circle

    Hello Katherine,

    Black screen (with endless spinning circle) may happen due to sudden power failure or after upgrading to a newer version of Windows. You may help us to identify the exact cause of the issue by providing these information:

    • Did you make any changes to your computer's configuration prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages?

    Let's boot your PC in safe mode using the Media Creation Tool. This will starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services to help troubleshoot issues.

    To get started let's create an installation media for Windows 10 (via USB) through this
    link.

    Once we have the bootable USB, please follow these steps:

    • Insert the installation USB and boot Windows 10 from it.
    • Select Language, Time and currency format and the Keyboard or input method.
    • Click Next.
    • Click Repair your computer, and select Troubleshoot.
    • Click Advanced options.
    • Select Startup Settings, and choose Enable Safe Mode with Networking.

    Note: If a problem doesn't reappear when you start your PC in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings, basic device drivers and services as possible causes.

    Update us with the result so we can further assist you.

    Windows 10 won't boot from usb. Windows logo displays and spinning circle

    I have serious problem with PC. I can't boot even from USB Stick. I created it on different machine with the help of: Microsoft Media Creation Tool.

    I disabled Secure boot and Fast boot in bios and selected this usb to start in boot menu (Asus Motherboard). The Leagcy and UEFI (hybrid) mode is enabled.

    It is booting from usb but after windows logo appears and spinning circle starts and after 2-3 seconds the spinning circle stops spinning and the screen freezes with windows logo and circle (not spinning). No blues screens, no error messages, no black screen, no feedback at all.

    I've checked this usb stick on different PC and boots without any problem. I've also checked many different usb ports in this problematic PC. Nothing helps.

    UPDATE:
    I tried to disable CSM mode (aka Legacy Mode) so the only UEFI mode is enabled. Rebooted several times (the same windows logo, sometimes spinning circle is showing sometimes not, if it is showing then after 2-3 seconds it stops spinning) and one time I received Blue Screen with such message:
    Thread Exception Not Handled.
