    Unable to boot windows 10

    Hi,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.



    Perform the Safe mode and Clean boot.

    I will suggest you to check if the issue occurs in Safe Mode. Follow the below steps:

    Step 1:

    To start Windows 10 in safe mode:

    • Search for Settings from the taskbar and select it from the search results.
    • Select Update & security and click on
      Recovery.
    • Go to Advanced startup and select Restart now.
    • After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot
      > Advanced options > Startup Settings >
      Restart.
    • After your PC restarts, select a startup setting as Safe Mode by pressing the corresponding number.
    If the issue does not persists in Safe Mode, then perform a Clean Boot to check if any third party application is causing the issue, as Clean Boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.

    Step 2

    Put the computer in Clean Boot and check if it helps.

    By setting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.
