Windows 10: Windows 10 hangs on loading screen, repair media tool hangs too

I desperately need help with this one - my classes starts tomorrow and they are all online. I have a desktop with Windows 10 and it has been very very reliable for the last few years. I shut the machine down like normal and a little bit later I noticed it turned it self back on (Windows update occasionally will trigger it to turn on. The computer sat on a blue screen with the Windows logo and spinning dots for about 1 hour. Now I can't get past this. Every 3 restarts gives me a "preparing automatic repair" message on the same screen but nothing happens even after 3 hours of waiting.

-I have not installed any new software in months.
-My SSD is fine, I was able to plug it into a buddies computer via SATA to USB and recover my files
-I set BIOS to use legacy support instead of UEFI, also tried to turn off quick boot.
-I followed a few youtube videos that suggested things like using regback to restore my settings
-I created two different windows repair sticks on different size/brands of USB drives with the media tool and they both hang at the same screen and I can NOT get to the windows repair tools, command line, etc.
-I unplugged all peripherals and unnecessary hard drives and still got the same problem - even when it was just the USB stick


Pretty much I can't even install a fresh copy of Windows because I can't get past the windows loading screen even when using a USB stick.. I am at a total loss. I can't do a system repair or a system restore since it just hangs on the windows loading screen...

Windows 10 hangs in repair mode loop

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We are glad to help you.



If Windows 10 hangs in the repair mode, then you may download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform Startup Repair.

Refer to the following link:

Download Windows 10

(Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool"
in the above article for creating the tool).



Once you have the installation media, follow the steps:

• 
  Start your computer from the installation media. Insert the disk or USB stick and restart your computer. If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,” do so. If you don’t see the message, you might need
  to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS settings so that it first starts from the disk or USB. When you see the 'Install Windows' page, tap or click 'Repair your computer' link to start the Windows Recovery Environment.
  
• 
  In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, click 'Troubleshoot'.
  
• 
  Click, Advanced Options and then click on 'Startup Repair'.
  
• 
  After this complete the repair and see if you are able to boot in to your computer.
  

Hope this information helps. Feel free to get back to us for further queries. We will be happy to assist you.



Thanks and regards,

Slow load,system hang


Having problems on my W10 desktop PC. Booting up the system was hanging at login screen after entering in my p/w. Made it past the login screen and able to get to desktop, AV and other apps begin to load and everything seems to hang. Brought up task manager and it just froze as well. Restarted a few times and it just appears to be stuck in this loading state. 4790K, ASrock z97 Extreme 6/3.1, Samsung 850 Evo, H110i. I was trying to start getting this still rather new build dialed in. Reset everything in UEFI to default. Any tips/suggestions?
