    Windows 10 stuck on a boot screen without spinning dots


    Hi!I have an old laptop, which is pretty useless.Then I thought - is it possible to install Windows 10 on it?I tried just regular USB and DVD, it just didn't boot in the setup.On the virtual machine on the same computer Windows 10 works.Also, the Symantec Ghost helped me.I installed Windows 10 1809 LTSC on the VM, booted in the Windows PE with Ghost,copied the hard disk, transferred the GHO file on the laptop, unpacked it,and...Just the Windows logo without spinning dots.Specs:Intel Celeron M 440 1.86GHz,512MB ram DDR2,Intel 945 Graphics card,Intel PRO/Wireless WiFi.What can help me?Demonstr

    :)

  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!

  3. 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:


    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.

    Windows 10 stuck on a boot screen without spinning dots

    Windows 10 is always stuck at spinning dots; can't reset and can't recover

    I just upgraded my Alienware Aurora R4 from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Everything seemed to go okay. I was able to log in and everything as per the usual. Then I went to reboot it, and now it stays stuck at the spinning dots (before loading Windows). I am able to get into the BIOS but I cannot do a lot of things I have been trying to do to fix it:

    • Can't boot into Safe Mode (stuck at spinning dots).
    • Tried running the command prompt from the recovery screen and doing chkdsk and sfc scans. Nothing seemed to be wrong.
    • Can't System Reset (also gets stuck at spinning dots).
    • Can't boot into Windows 10 USB recovery media I made for it (tried both legacy and UEFI boot mode options, but this also is stuck at the spinning dots).
    • I unplugged all peripherals besides mouse and keyboard.
    • ePSA boot looks good; no problems found.

    I have researched into this, I know that some people have successfully been able to reset after this, but not I. Similar questions haven't helped. I can't seem to do anything. I don't mind wiping this garbage PC at this point and reinstalling from scratch, but am unsure how. It looks like I may need to run some other boot software to wipe the entire system off the PC. Any suggestions?
