Hi, BenjaminMichel1

My name is Smith and I am an Independent Advisor. I would be happy to help you today.

Try entering Safe Mode to repair

Turn off your computer; then, turn it on.

As soon as you see the Windows logo with the spinning dots, press and hold the power button until your computer turns off. Do this process twice.

.-Turn on your computer for the third time, and let it load.

.-You should get this message: Preparing Automatic Repair.

.-On the next screen that would appear, click on Advanced Options.

.-Select Troubleshoot.

.-Go to Advanced Options.

.-Click on Startup Repair.

.-Wait for the repair to finish.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

First of all, if you have any non-essential hardware attached to your computer apart from mouse and keyboard, disconnect them.

See if the system boots successfully, if it does not, carry out the following steps

Power on and off your computer three times

How do you do that?

Power on, when you see the Windows Logo - power off

Power on, when you see the Windows Logo - power off

Power on, it will then your computer will boot into the Advanced Recovery environment

**********************************************

Click Advanced Options

Click Troubleshoot

Click Advanced Options

Click System Restore, see if you can go back to an earlier time.

If not, boot into the recovery environment again, then try performing a startup repair.

Perform the startup repair a couple more times then restart again to see if you are able to boot to the desktop successfully.

If that does not work, boot into the recovery environment, then click 'Go back to previous version of Windows' - choose this option if you recently upgraded to a new Windows 10 Feature Update. If this option is not available, you can skip this step.

If that does not work.
