Windows 10: System laggy, Windows 11 setup screen

Hello everyoneFor a couple of weeks now, my laptop has been extremely slow and laggy. Opening any program takes 10-15 seconds and opening or loading a tab in any browser takes forever despite using a fast internet connection that works fine on any other device. Recently, I have also started receiving error messages when trying to open Steam games "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000". What I have tried so far:- complete restart- all mandatory and optional Windows updates- running trouble shooter no issues found- installing Windows 11, version 23H2 repair versio

Windows 11 Infinite Black Screen Loop After Failed Windows 10 Reset

Hi everyone,

I am reaching out for assistance due to a challenging issue with my Windows 11 system, which is currently stuck in an infinite loop of a black screen with spinning circles. This issue arose unexpectedly after an attempt to reset my Windows 10 system on a separate disk failed, suggesting that the reset operation inadvertently impacted my primary Windows 11 system.

Here's a detailed breakdown of the events leading to the current problem:

• My setup includes two hard drives: Disk A with Windows 11 (my primary system) and Disk B with Windows 10.
  
• I encountered a DLL file missing error on Windows 10 (Disk B) and after unsuccessful attempts to fix it through runtime library installations and the SFC command, I decided to reset the Windows 10 system via the settings, choosing to reset only the system disk to avoid affecting other drives. Unfortunately, the reset failed.
  
• Subsequently, attempting to boot into Windows 11 on Disk A resulted in a blue screen error related to the NTFS file system on the first attempt, followed by an automatic repair on the second attempt. After the repair, the system now persistently shows a black screen with spinning circles, unable to proceed to the login screen.
  

Additional details and steps taken:

• Through the Troubleshoot options, I can access CMD and open Notepad, confirming that the disks are accessible.
  
• I have created a Windows installation USB drive and attempted its repair functions without success.
  
• My setup involves two monitors, with the BIOS and system defaulting to monitor A, but Windows set to display only on monitor B. Post-issue, the system disconnects from monitor A and attempts to load on monitor B, indicating partial loading of Windows configurations.
  

It seems the reset attempt on Windows 10 has unexpectedly affected the Windows 11 system on the other disk. Given the steps I've already taken without success, I am seeking your expert advice on how to resolve this infinite loading issue and recover access to my Windows 11 system.

Any suggestions, guidance, or recommended steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
