Windows 10: Windows 10 Continually Restarts

All was OK, yesterday. Today, though, laptop starts, loads programs, sits for a minute or so, then it restarts. Does this every time, I have tried to use it. Tried to jump in and restore to a previous point, and it would not do that, presumably due to it restarting.
Now it is just sitting with the time, day, & date. Probably would just restart again, if I let it.

Please help, not sure what to do at all. Thank you in advance, DD

Windows 10 continually restarts

Hi,

Thanks for posting your query to Microsoft forum. I will certainly help you with this.

This issue could occur due to incompatible or corrupted device drivers. Let’s try to follow these methods

below which can help us resolving this issue.

Please check your Windows updates (including optional updates).

• At the Start screen, type Windows Update.
• Select Check for Update.
• Download and Install the latest Windows Updates.

Method 1: Perform System Maintenance troubleshooter.

I would suggest you to perform System Maintenance troubleshooter on the computer and check if it fixes the issue.

Please follow the steps to perform System maintenance check to improve performance of the computer:

• Press Windows key.
• Type Troubleshooting.
• Click on View all on the left side panel.
• Click on System Maintenance and follow the onscreen instructions.

If the issue persists, follow method 2.

Method 2: Check in safe mode and clean boot mode of the computer

Step 1: Check in Safe mode

Safe mode is a troubleshooting option for Windows that starts your computer in a limited state. Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started. The words
Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you're using.

Refer the link below:

Start your computer in safe mode


Steps applicable to Windows 10.

You can restart the computer to put it back in
normal mode.

If the issue doesn’t occur in safe mode, follow step 2.

Step 2: Perform Clean Boot

Placing your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

How to perform a “clean boot” in Windows

Refer to Windows 8.1 steps, as they are applicable to Windows 10.

Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

If this lets you log in, follow the steps below.



Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to help you further.

Hi DoodleDude and welcome to Tenforums.
Have you tried booting into the advanced repair options?
See Option #6 here. You basically simulate a failed boot three times.
Advanced Startup Options - Boot to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Then Option #1 here
System Restore Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums


Hope that helps.

 

Thank you for the welcome, and the input!!

What I did was leave it on screen after it restarted, and shows a photo, with day, date, and time. And left it there for around 30-45 minutes, and all seems kosher now. Thank you for your input, though. *Biggrin Doodle

 

Glad to hear it! *Thumbs

 

I wonder if the issue is really resolved this way.
I certainly wish it is for you.
Knock on wood.
