  1. Pc was reset during Preparing windows


    So I will be honest, Windows was taking considerably longer than usual to load, and being impatient I reset my pc with the reset button. Whenever I turned my pc back on it looked like this after logging inSo I first off, reset my pc one more time to see if it is a fluke, also I had opened file explorer and moved that icon, and upon reset it was still like this. Upon opening file explorer and looking at my files left, My 2 tb drive and second partition on boot drive are untouched, but the data from the window's partition is now not being registered by windows, as shown by this

  3. Preparing Windows

    Hi Jennifer,

    I realize that at startup your PC always says preparing for windows. I will try to help you with this issue.


    • Are you signing in to a Local account or the Microsoft account?
    Suggest you to boot the PC in Safe Mode to check if that helps. Once you are in the desktop screen you may boot the PC in a clean boot state to check the status.

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows:
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow the steps under “How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot” in the article to boot to normal startup.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10 Startup Reset log in showing "preparing Windows" for long time

    Since yesterday, Windows 10 Os' s taking longer time than usual to open, and on first screen of log in showing "preparing Windows" for long time and then goes directly to set up pin screen. After I skip the step, it takes to Microsoft password verification
    screen, then opens the desktop as reset and refreshed (i.e., no saved files in desktop, only few installed programs are there). After working and shutting down the PC, it again resets and shows as above to give pin and a new desktop. The computer is responding
    very slowly. Please suggest what steps to be taken to repair it. I don't want to reformat the pc.
