    power outage-Windows 10 will not finish booting

    Thank you so much for responding so quickly!! I got it up and running, but HERE is what was happening for FUTURE people with this issue - WINDOWS logo was trying to start - my screen would go blank - so it was not completing the boot process - when it got
    to that point I could do NOTHING.

    I actually took the steps you recommended above - unplugged printer, etc - plugged PC directly into electrical outlet (off of surge protector) and direct wired mouse and keyboard (non wireless). let it sit for a while - then VOILA - all booted well.

    It was a "quick" power outage - less than a minute but BOY did it mess me up - LOL

    Once again, thanks so much for your help.

    Have a great day!
