  1. Windows 10 installation stuck in loop


    Hi. My Dell inspiron laptop is stuck in a weird installation loop. I tried to reinstall windows 10 locally using the “keep my files” option and now the blue “Installing windows” screen goes up to 78% or sometimes even before that and then my device restarts and I end up in the menu A with “Windows recovery environment” and instances of windows 10.

    If i select any instance of windows it resumes installation from 64% everytime and restarts sometime afterwards.

    If i select “Windows recovery environment” I get a menu B of
    1. “Continue” - which restarts and leads to the first menu A

    2. “Use another operating system” - i dont have any, so ends up in menu A

    3. “Troubleshoot” - which gives

    • Reset your PC - I’ve tried this twice aster the first reset and now i have a total 4 instances of Windows 10 in the first menu A
    • Advanced options - I’ve tried “automatic repair” from these already and it “could not repair my PC”

    4. “Turn if your PC” - tried this as well, end up in same loop after i start

    There was another option in this second menu B, something on the lines of

    using a usb device or an internet device or dvd to install. I tried selecting internet device but it restarted and ended up in the same loop. This option disappears in the following loops after i select it for a particular windows instance.


    A little bakground:

    My device had been exhibiting a no boot error for a few months. It started at the start of January 2021 and i tried restarting multiple times but windows would just not boot up. Not even the lock screen. The only two things that i could see were the cursor and the screen projection panel when i hit the “Project” function key.
    I gave up initially and just got back to trying to fix it after 3 months.

    :)

    Windows 10 stuck in installation loop on tablet

    Ok, I was THIS close for throwing this god damn tablet outside on the concrete... I have ACER Iconia W4 820 tablet and yesterday it decided it will refuse to boot (the Windows 10 magic). It just displayed boot screen with those dots running around forever. Literally. I left it over night and you guessed it, in the morning it was still doing it. So, I forced reset it and it brought up the repair dialog where I've opted for Reset and deleted all my data clean.

    All nice and well, it installed and when I get the screen "Hi there" where I pick my languages and time zone, click next and select bunch of privacy settings and complete that, it restarts and goes back to god damn language and timezone selection screen, every single bloody time. I've completed it like 10 times and it just loops like a total retard. Wanted to re-install windows clean from USB, wouldn't even boot, tried recovering original OS (Win8.1), it just skips it and loops the same language/timezone menu and the backup USB that I've made on day 1 is just plain ignored. I now have a tablet that has less functionality than a kitchen cutting board. What the fuck Microsoft, are you kidding me? And no, I don't have any intention to pay ACER to fix this shit Microsoft created. Damn it.

    I've googled tons of "fix guides" and they all seem to mention that rather recent stupid update that caused boot looping, but my case seems to be slightly different because it's installation looping. I only got 1 result that mentioned installation and deletion of some keys via regedit, but it didn't fix anything. So, any other ideas?
