3. Once the manufacturer's logo appeared, press any keys.
4. Choose language, time and currency format and Keyboard input method.

6. In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, tap or click Troubleshoot.
7. Tap or click, advanced options and then click on Startup repair.

If the issue are still persist please follow these steps.

If your PC won't start and you haven't created a recovery drive, download installation media and use it to restore from a system restore point or reset your PC.

1. On a working PC, go to the Microsoft software download website.
2. Download the media creation tool and then run it.
3. Select Create installation media for another PC.
4. Choose a language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit).
5. Follow the steps to create installation media, and then select Finish.
6. Connect the installation media you created to your nonfunctional PC, and then turn it on.
7. On the initial setup screen, enter your language and other preferences, and then select Next. If you're not seeing the setup screen, your PC might not be set up to boot from a drive. Check your PC manufacturer's website for info on how to change your PC's boot order, and then try again.

9. On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. From there, you can:
   • Restore from a system restore point by selecting Advanced options> System Restore. This will remove recently installed apps, drivers, and updates that might be causing your PC problems. Restoring from a restore point won’t affect your personal files.
   • Select Reset this PC to reinstall Windows 10. This will remove apps and drivers you installed and changes you made to settings, but lets you choose to keep or remove your personal files.
