Windows 10: Stuck on the welcome screen with the spinning dots

I turned it on and scanned my fingerprint, and now it’s just loading eternally. Closing the lid turns the screen off, but when I wake it back up, it’s still loading.

It doesn’t even respond to the power button or any combination with the escape buttons.

The computer is a Dell Inspiron 7300

Stuck at spinning dots when installing Windows fresh.



Now im stuck at this screen. I got past the spinning dots of death by removing the usb right after the first part of the install (first reboot).
But now im stuck at this spinning dots instead (it says "förbereder" which means preparing in swedish)

 

Windows 10 stuck in loading screen with spinning dots

Hi,

Windows 10 is stuck in loading screen. Here are the things that happened before it became like that:

• I noticed that my Dell laptop is lagging so much even after restart so I checked the Task Manager and noticed that the Disk is at 100%.
  
• Found out that Avast premiere is causing the Disk to be at 100% so I End Task it
• Triggered CHKDSK upon startup in order to check if Disk is fine.
• Upon startup Check Disk ran but it is stuck at 12% even after almost 2 hours of waiting. So need to hard reboot. This persisted around 3 times
• Upon reboot Dell Diagnostics automatically kicked in since it detected that the system was not shut down properly. Result is that no problems found.
• After Dell Diagnostics, the system rebooted and now is stuck to the loading screen with the spinning dots.

Solutions that I tried:

• Used Media Installation Tool to do Startup repair. But result is that the Automatic startup repair cannot resolve the issue.
• Performed system restore to earlier date. The restore was successful but I am still stuck at the loading screen with spinning dots upon reboot.
• Startup Settings does not show in the Troubleshoot menu so activated the F8 to trigger safe mode. Upon selection of Safemode with network the system reboots and gets stuck in Dell logo screen.

Please advise. If possible I want to avoid losing my files.

Thanks!

 

Login from lock screen stuck on circular rotating dots

The following happens intermittently:

• I'm working and use the Windows+L key combination to lock my screen to leave for a period (can be short or long).
• I return and use Ctrl+Alt+Del to log back in.
• I get a blue screen with a small circle of spinning dots, which goes on indefinitely.
• I have to hard boot my laptop by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.

This started happening only after I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. This appears to be a common problem with Windows 10:

• Windows 10 Install Stuck on Blue Screen/Spinning Dots
• Windows 10 stuck on spinning white circle with black screen
• Windows 10 Stuck At Login Screen With Spinning Circle
• My Windows 10 stuck on blank blue screen with rotating dots for hours
• Stuck on lock screen after wake up from sleep
• Stuck on blue screen with spinning white circle
• How do I solve Windows 10 stuck on blue screen with spinning dots?

I've tried most of the suggestions from these an other sources, but nothing has solved this issue -- which is very disruptive to productivity and seems to be specific to Windows 10. Please reply with only real solutions.
