    Win10 bootloop making me mad & sad


    Feel like an idiot for buying such an expensive laptop Surface book 2 15' fully spec'd and not being able to use it properly.


    Situation:

    -Tried to factory reset

    - now stuck in boot loop;

    - shows windows logo then logo and 'Preparing' with spinning circle

    - 'The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed To install Windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart installation'

    - went to UEFI, reset, nothing changed

    - downloaded 'Windows Media Creation Tool' on Usb Stick

    - through the UEFI, i could boot the stick

    - when trying to reinstall Windows 10 i have Win 10 Pro, it goes to the license agreement,

    -then i can choose to upgrade which doesnt work.

    -or choose to 'only install windows advanced'; From there i seem to be able to reinstall drivers i wouldnt know how or choose a partition on which i install it.

    - It only works on Partition 3, but it says that the previously installed version of windows wouldnt be accessible after the reinstall.

    - going to repair options

    - i get: CONTINUE, USE A DEVICE, USE DIFFERENT OS, TURN OFF & ADVANCED OPTIONS translated from german

    - Advanced Options are:

    Start Up Repair doesnt work

    Command Prompt

    Uninstall Updates doesnt work either, tells me that there are other planned updates

    UEFI Firmwareoptions

    System Recovery cant

    systemimagerecovery cant


    I dont know what to do, im stuck and its hard to find a solution. Please help. I would really appreciate it.

    :)

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

  3. Bootloop on upgrade!


    So, I downloaded the win10 upgrade, figured i'd let it go automatically and see what happens...well I was not impressed to say the least! LOL! I am stuck in a bootloop. Previous OS 8.1 Pro. On a Dell Inspiron 7548 (Early 2015)

    midtown madness 2

    You played 2 months ago on the same machine using Win10 ?

    If so, did you install a Windows update, or make other changes around the time the game stopped running ?

    - If you have not played the game on Win10 and have the
    disc based version the problem would be because of a DRM Blocking

    feature MS built into Win10. I have more details in my post at
    ---this thread---


    To make the disc based version of the game run you will need a noCD fix/hack from...

    games/midtown-madness-2


    btw - Win10 has DX9/10/11 &12 (one DX8 file too). When you enabled Direct Play it made it possible to run DX7/8 games.
