Windows 10: Windows not booting correctly

Hello.When I turn on my computer, everything usually works like normal. However, a few times, today being the second time, my computer spends a long time loading after I enter my password. It eventually is able to log on, but it takes at least five times longer than it usually does.

Windows 10 not booting correctly

Hi Kathy,

You may refer to the following suggestions and check if they fix the issue.



Method 1:

Step 1: Start your computer in safe mode and check if you get the error.

Refer this link to start the computer in safe mode.

If it works fine in safe mode, perform clean boot.



Step 2: Perform clean boot.

Clean boot will help us identify if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

To do this, follow steps from this link:

Note: After checking the functionality in clean boot, follow the suggestions under “How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting”.



Method 2: Login to the different user account and check if the same issue persists, if you do not have different user account, please create a new user account.

To create a new user account, refer to these suggestions:

• 
  In start menu search type user, click
  Add, delete, manager other user account

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
