Computer stuck restarting

Hi David

Press and hold the Power Button on your PC for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a hard shut down

Start up you PC again to see if it starts correctly . . .

If it does, then this was probably just a glitch or Windows 10 Updates may have been doing something in the background . . .

I have tried this but when i did this the screen turned black for a split second and turned back on

Umm sorry i just started to hold my power off button for very long and it shutted down i should’ve down that earlier i didn’t realise i was meant to hold it longer so sorry for bothering your time.

Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

Do this twice

On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt . . . etc.

Please try each option one at a time, then see of Windows will boot correctly . . .

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Repair

See if Windows startup can repair itself

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - System Restore

Check to see if you have a restore point you can go back to

If you do not have a Restore Point, go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode

Once in Safe Mode, backup your data if you do not already have a backup

Open Device Manager and check to make sure all your Drivers are up to date

Reboot to see if Windows will start Normally

If the above fails, go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Options - Reset this PC

Choose to keep your files and apps, just your files or to keep nothing

Then start the Reset

Hi David

Hold the power button until you physically hear your PC shut down (you should hear the power unit click out . . .

Otherwise, when you say your PC turns back on, does that still result in the 'Restarting' screen?
