Windows 10: Windows 10 Stuck At Login Screen With Spinning Circle

Before I begin, I was able to use my computer up until now.

I got home from work, and was able to log into my desktop computer. I was in the process of following some instructions on how to fix an issue with the Mail App. One of the instructions told me to disable Credential Manger, and Restart, and then after restarting, start Credential Manager again, and set it to automatic.

After I disabled, and restarted however, my computer has rendered itself unusable at this point. My computer presents itself with a spinning circle before login, and that's it. The option to login never shows up. I have left my computer on for more than an hour, and it's still sitting there with the spinning circle. The only thing I am able to do is Control Alt Delete, and show three options at the bottom of the screen, Connect to Internet, Ease of access, and Shut Down.

I have restarted, and I am still presenting with the spinning circle. Hours ago, my desktop computer was able to be used. Now, it is completely useless cause I can't even log in!

Someone PLEASE help me with this.

Login from lock screen stuck on circular rotating dots

The following happens intermittently:

• I'm working and use the Windows+L key combination to lock my screen to leave for a period (can be short or long).
• I return and use Ctrl+Alt+Del to log back in.
• I get a blue screen with a small circle of spinning dots, which goes on indefinitely.
• I have to hard boot my laptop by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.

This started happening only after I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. This appears to be a common problem with Windows 10:

• Windows 10 Install Stuck on Blue Screen/Spinning Dots
• Windows 10 stuck on spinning white circle with black screen
• Windows 10 Stuck At Login Screen With Spinning Circle
• My Windows 10 stuck on blank blue screen with rotating dots for hours
• Stuck on lock screen after wake up from sleep
• Stuck on blue screen with spinning white circle
• How do I solve Windows 10 stuck on blue screen with spinning dots?

I've tried most of the suggestions from these an other sources, but nothing has solved this issue -- which is very disruptive to productivity and seems to be specific to Windows 10. Please reply with only real solutions.

 

blue screen with spinning circle following reinstall of Win 10

Following a reset of my Toshiba Satellite laptop due to account login errors and then successful upgrade to Win 10 (laptop came with Win 8), I am now stuck with the blue screen/spinning circle. When I turn the laptop on, the sequence of screens I get are:
the Toshiba screen, black screen with spinning circle, lock screen. I can move the mouse, but if I click it to advance to log in, I get the blue screen with spinning circle. Turn the laptop off/on and I repeat the sequence getting stuck at the blue screen
again.

Suggestions?

thanks

 

Hi I was also looking for the solution for this exact issue and found a fix. Unfortunately it's for a laptop not a desktop (win7 upgraded to win 10). I found your thread as I looked for a solution for my problem (started this morning) but saw that no one answered.

In case someone might come across this same issue for a LAPTOP. The cursor spinning wheel (before login) seems to be an update getting stuck in limbo before login screen.

What I did was remove the battery and used only the plug to power the laptop. This method seems to move the cursor problem forward onto the windows logo and it is there that finally reveals that it was in the middle of the update. After allowing the update to finish, I powered down, put back the battery and booted (battery power only) and everything is now fine.

I know you have this problem on a DESKTOP but maybe some tweaking with the power source might also fix your problem? I know it just needs to bypass that update curser.
