Laptop stuck on "Diagnosing your PC"

I've had problems with my laptop for the last around 24 hours, and it's gotten to this screen, but never advanced to the advanced startup blue screen. A bunch of searching hasn't helped me and I don't have money to buy anything, although I have another laptop that is broken (hp windows 10) if that means anything.

    Hi 5395racing,

    I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    Try to access the Windows Recovery Environment, turn your computer on and off three times. While booting, make sure you turn off the computer when you see the loading logo. After the third time, Windows 10 will boot into diagnostics mode. Click Advanced options when the recovery screen appears.

    Then in the "Choose an option" screen, click Troubleshoot => Advanced Options => select Startup Repair.

    If that didn't work, select System Restore and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If both options didn't work, then RESET your PC.

    in the "Choose an option" screen, click Troubleshoot => Reset this PC and follow the on-screen instructions.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

    Wish I could test these out, but turning it off and on didn't get me past the diagnosing your PC screen, even after about an hour of waiting.

    Ok, so both startup repair and system restore didn't work unfortunately. So I tried to reset my PC, but the option didn't show up for some reason

    The Reset this PC option should be under Troubleshoot and not Advanced Options.

    From the "Choose an option" screen > click Troubleshoot > Reset this PC.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
