Windows 10: windows 10 stuck in reboot sequence

I needed to perform a restart on my computer because a program was not working properly. windows has been stuck for days on the reboot window with the spinning circle. I have tried the hard reboot multiple times in succession and cannot get it to go to safe mode or any other mode. I have shut off and unplugged the PC a couple of times with the same result.

Stuck in "Attempting to Recover Installation" and "Restoring your previous version of Windows" reboot sequence

Hi Dave,

A corrupted/incomplete installation may be one of the possible causes why you're stuck in
Attempting to Recover Installation and Restoring your previous version of Windows reboot sequence. To assist you better, we'd like to know the build and version of Windows 10 you're using.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this article about recovery options in Windows 10. You can expand
the section Use installation media to restore or reset your PC and try performing the step No. 6 since you've mentioned that you already created a Media Creation Tool

Keep us posted if you need additional help.

 

Task Sequence Stuck - Enablement Package

Hi All,

I am trying to upgrade Windows 10 20H2 machines to 21H2 using the enablement package technique but a mandatory KB article is missing on machines. I am trying to install the patch on the machines using DISM command line from a package source using a task sequence. After the installation of the patch, it requires a reboot. I had the next step in my task sequence to reboot the machine, but the task sequence stuck and never perform the reboot.

Is there any other way we can force the reboot post-patch installation?

I tried various methods available in the task sequence, including PowerShell to force the reboot but no go. Is there any step you guys feel I should try to make it automated?

 

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
