Windows 10: Windows 10 does not boot at all

Dear Microsoft community,

I have 6 months old HP AIO which was working perfectly fine with Kaspersky internet security with parental control. As Kaspersky removed the 'parental control' option and forced me to use their 'Kids protection' software, I was forced to install it couple of days ago. Then, I was connecting to internet using Kaspersky internet security and 'Kids protection software'. But, my computer started behaving weird like taking longer time to boot, showing black screen during boot, disappearance of 'Wifi' option in the 'Network settings' screen. So, I restored my computer back to a week and shut it down properly. Then, it was not booting at all, saying it was not shut down properly. It automatically tied to diagnose the problem and repair while booting, but it could not resolve. It showed me various advanced options including 'booting with safe mode' and 'PC Reset'. I tried booting with 'safe mode' first and it did not work. Then, I tried 'PC Reset' and computer cannot do it saying there is a problem. I am totally stuck and not able to boot my computer at all.


Today, my Asus laptop also started taking longer time to boot and started showing black screen while booting. By keep trying ctrl+alt+Del many times during the black screen, somehow I logged in and typing this question. Now, I am really worried about this laptop as well.


I am really not sure what is causing the issue. Is it Kaspersky's 'Kids protection' software or recent update of windows or something else. I need your help on booting my HP AIO computer back. Also, it would be appreciated if you could tell what is causing the issue and how it can be avoided in the future. Thanks in advance.

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 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 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
