    I have a computer that updated and then won't finish booting. It hangs on a black screen with the blue window and spinning dots. It is a ASRock Z87 Extreme6 motherboard and Intel Core i3-4130T processor attempting to update Windows 10.When trying to boot from a USB drive with Windows installation media, the boot hangs on a black screen with the ASRock logo and spinning dots.How do I move past the spinning dots?

    :)

    Windows 10 hangs on spinning dots

    Hi,

    I've got a Windows 10 laptop that was automatically upgraded from Windows 8.1. It was working fine for a few months. Suddenly it just hangs on boot. It gets to the blue screen with the spinning white dots.

    Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del brings me to the login screen but with only a restart and shutdown option.

    I can boot into safe mode, but I don't know what to do there.

    I've tried various suggestions from around the web, but to no avail.

    Please advise.

    Thanks!

    Windows 10 hangs on spinning dots

    same issue - spinning dots, blue screen takes hours to boot and get to the login screen. just hangs at the spinning dots just prior to the login screen. I tried EVERYTHING and eventually had to load everything from scratch new build.

    safe mode worked fine - clean boot with nothing in startup didn't work. Something about passport error messages in event log though not sure if that is related.

    PC was running for 5 months no problem prior. Was an upgrade from windows 7.

    What could cause this?
