Windows 10: Windows 10 takes 7 reboots to start loading Windows.

The past couple of days my pc takes multiple times to load windows, it goes like this:

1. Gets to blue Windows logo and no spinning white circle to indicate windows is loading.
2. As above.
3. As above
4. Attempts to enter recovery mode or whatever its called as the pc failed to load windows, still no spinning white dotted circle.
5. Back to number 1
6. Same as number 5
7. At the blue Windows logo the white dotted loading symbol appears and windows loads.

I built the pc myself 2 or 3 years ago with the following specs:
Asus X99 AII
i7 6800k
MSI GTX 1080ti
16GB Corsair ram
Windows 10 is at version 1709 (I have updates disabled)
1x 250GB ssd boot drive
1x 1TB SSD
2x 3TB WD Black

I havent installed anything new and I ran Virus scan and Malwarebytes just to see, but they were clear.

Has anyone heard of this, or know what could be causing it? Tomorrow I will try booting from usb into safe mode to see if I get straight into safe mode. This pc, while I do some gaming on it is mainly for work and I really dont want it to die on me completely all of a sudden.

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

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed
