Windows 10: UEFI booted Windows 10 installation stuck at blue Windows Logo screen

I recently got a set of Intel X79 platform (ASRock X79 Extreme 3) from my friend, and decided to perform a clean install of Windows 10.


I had a USB stick which contained Windows 10 x64 installer, made by official Windows 10 Media Creation Tool 1803, and it worked well on any other of my PCs with UEFI mode.


But as I set the bootup device to this USB drive in UEFI mode, it only showed a blue Windows logo, and just stuck there. The indicator LED of USB drive blinked a few seconds and went off, then nothing was going on as expected.


BTW, if I change the bootup settings to CSM mode (or so called Legacy mode on some of the MB), then everything works fine, Windows can be installed correctly. But I just want to install and boot Windows in UEFI mode.


Is there anyone know what makes installation stuck at the Logo screen?


Thanks.

:)

 

Trouble installing windows 7 on RAID in UEFI

As the title says, I'm trying to install Windows on a RAID array in uefi on my Maximus V Formula. When using legacy ROM I can install just fine but I go into CSM and change settings to UEFI only, I can build the array in the UEFI Raid driver (IRST tab in "BIOS") but the array does not show up in the boot menu and when I try to install windows (boot from UEFI DVD drive), The drive does not show up in the Windows install. The next thing I tried was to enable UEFI and legacy oprom in CSM, boot from UEFI DVD drive and install to the RAID array (probably detected by legacy oprom) and it will install. After first reboot, Windows Boot manager will show up as an option in the BIOS boot menu so I set that as first boot device and reboot. I will get to the starting windows screen and then BSOD (too quick to get codes) The last thing I tried was Changing to legacy mode and installing windows to a different drive. once installed, I initialized the Raid array as GPT and rebooted, changed csm back to UEFI only but they RAID array still doesn't show in the boot device list so I repeated the earlier process hoping that It might work because I had initialized as GPT but it still BSODs on starting windows screen. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I think you were on track with your first try. Windows installer probably needs the RAID driver in order to detect it on install.

 

Installation Hangs at Blue Windows Logo, Error Code C1900101-20017

The BIOS update suggestion posted above by @Jegler helped me, @guhanath. I was on version 1.10 and updated to 1.90. The steps I took after that were just doing the official Windows 10 upgrade procedure.

Then the Windows 10 installation went without a hitch, and I'm no longer on Windows 7. I'm going to consider this solved, thank you @Jelger for the suggestion to update the BIOS!
