  2. Windows 10 Stuck on logo screen with spinning dots

    This suggestion isn't helpful at all. If I can't even get past the boot screen with spinning dots there is no way to access the recommended steps.

    I have two Windows 10 computers. This afternoon I left my backup desktop at a repair shop because the screen goes black after I log in. They've seen this with quite a few Windows 10 computers. This evening my primary computer (laptop) won't get past the
    Microsoft logo screen.

    Ive been using Windows computers for over 20 years and never encountered this level of difficulty until Windows 10!

    Windows 10 installation stuck at blue logo(no spinning dots)


    All,

    I downloaded windows 10 ISO(I purchased it) file and created bootable DVD and USB using Rufus. I want to install windows 10 in one of the system which had corrupted windows 7 in SSD(No data or nothing is required)

    My system config is below
    Intel i5(4th gen)
    Gigabyte H87 D3H(which has UEFI) and flashed to version 9
    Nvidia 9400 GT(driver not updated but the site listing says it is compatible with win 10)
    8GB RAM
    SSD(60 GB, which has corrupted win 7)
    HDD(500 GB)

    Believe I have the minimum system requirement to install Windows 10?
    After selecting cd/dvd/usb, windows 10 logo appears(without any spinning dots, just plain logo) and get stuck there. I waited for 1-2 hour but nothing happened. I searched and some of them have suggested to remove components and keep only bare minimum. So I tried removing GFX card and the HDD, and kept only SSD(default changed to IGFX). But even then it doesnt move forward from the windows logo screen.
    Please someone suggest, how to move this installation further? Any debugging options? Anything I am missing here? I purchased it and hence I dont want to waste the money I spent on it.
    I checked in BIOS and I can confirm that Fast boot is disabled or Data Execution Prevention and/or similar options are enabled.
    Note:I havent used media creation tool here


    To confim whether my bootable DVD/USB had some errors in initiating setup, I tried running setup.exe within my friends machine(win 7) and it is launching and giving me screens to download updates and/or to enter product key. Images attached which gives indication that setup is launching.
    But when I try to run the setup as bootable DVD/USB I get the blue logo screen and nothing happens.(even no spinning dots below logo and/or errors to share) Refer Image - Win10_Bootable_DVD.jpg

    Any help is appreciated to move this forward.

    Thanks
    Guhan

    Stuck on startup HP logo spinning dots

    On my HP Envy 17 j177nr, after I booted up windows this morning, all seemed fine until about 30 minutes into using it. Forza Horizon 5 would not run and I began having intermittent freezing issues. The freezing issues were not horrible but it was annoying just enough for me to restart my computer. Normally a restart or two fixes this kind of problem—not today though.

    I told Windows 10 to restart but then I got to the blue "Restarting" screen with spinning dots and it sat at the restarting screen for 30 minutes and it would not restart. So, I held the power button to turn off the laptop.

    Upon powering the laptop back on, it went to the HP logo with spinning dots, which is the normal startup screen, but now it has sat there at the HP logo with spinning dots for more than 45 minutes now and it refuses to boot further!'

    I Googled the problem but only spammy dodgy results showed up that want me to install their shady software to fix the problem. Which is very stupid, because you cannot install anything anyway if you cannot even get into Windows.


    How can I fix this? I cannot even use my PC because I cannot get past this HP logo
