Windows 10: Windows 10 is stuck on boot

Hello,


after installing Windows 10 on my machine, it does not start up.

It shows the spinning dots and the CPU-fan starts spinning at full speed, but nothing else happens.


My System:

MSI MPG B550I Gaming Edge Wifi Motherboard

Ryzen 5600X CPU

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card
32GB 2x16 G.Skill RAM

Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB


Things I have tried:

- starting the system with only one stick of RAM tried both sticks

- installing drivers during windows installation could only install RAID drivers, which prevented me from installing all together, because the SSD disappeared

- starting with a different graphics card Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 which only changed the background color of the screen on which the dots are spinning

- downloading and flashing the windows install medium again

- plugging the SSD with the windows installation into a different machine that showed the same spinning dots behavior

- installing windows onto the SSD on a different machine the installation worked and windows started normally, but then using that working windows installation on the new machine yielded the same spinning dots as before



I don't know what else to try.

Any help on what to do next would be appreciated

:)

 

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
