Windows 10: Windows 10 Booting issue

I have been having a re-occurring issue. When starting up my laptop it stalls/freezes before fully booting up. Its not a full freeze because I can hit the F keys to enter Bios or boot settings. At first i tried several things in there and it did not fix the issue. I had a friend tell me to fully unplug the battery to give it a hard reboot. That worked at first until 4 months later it started happening again, and this time frequently. The hard reboot only worked for that startup, the next one would stall. so I did some research and followed a possible fix through command prompt. Basically scanning files and repairing them. This also worked. I finally thought I came across the true fix be repairing some corrupt files. Wrong, Now 2 months later it started happening again. I have an Alienware R17 i7 windows 10 with a 1 Tb ssD and 2 Tb HHD. My windows operating system is on the SSD. I am really hoping that its not craping out, But its only about 3 years old and runs games ect. fine. Is there still corrupt files? Whats the best way to either isolate the problem or fix it? I'm not an expert in command prompt but can follow instructions. Thank you for any help or input.

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Windows 10 issues!

I had a similar issue but it only happen on older hardware, Windows would install the stock drivers which would make it nearly impossible to access the internet. Luckily I had newest Intel and Realtek NIC drivers that ran perfectly on Win 10 x64 1607 version, installing those fixed my that problem.

This also can happen on a non-fresh install of WIn 10, when you try to boot from a different computer/motherboard, after a single failed boot, Windows will try to re-detect and re-install all of the drivers, which definitely won't be the most stable or newest.

I tried everything, flushing cache, resetting router, uninstalling the device completely from the list, removing the LAN connection entirely, none of those helped.
