Windows 10: Thread stuck in device driver after Windows 10 clean install, Windows won't boot

I had to do a clean install of Windows after I was having issues not getting Windows to boot. I used the Windows 10 creation tool and during the customization process (after selecting a PIN for login) my PC crashed. After the crash I got a BSOD with a "thread stuck in device driver" error. It continuously loops and won't allow me to boot into Windows so I have no way to update my drivers or check to see which ones are causing an issue.

and continue if necessary with the other fixes for

But remember that a factory install is such an inferior install that most tech enthusiasts would never run one, but prefer to

Clean Install Windows 10 which compiles the best install one can have.

Short of that you can go over the
Windows 10 Performance and Install Integrity Checklist - Microsoft Community to make sure it's set up correctly, optimized for best performance and any needed repairs get done.

 

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
