When performing a cold start, the windows logo appears but nothing happens. If I reboot (Hold in the start button) and wait a few seconds, then repress the start button, Windows-10 loads. Why is this?
View 3 RepliesWhen I try to install windows 10 into my newly built pc, everything goes normally... then it says that the pc need to reboot, and it does. After the reboot, the windows logo appears and it brings me back to the windows installation process.

I would like to change the Windows white start up logo (see photo) to a more colorful one.
In an earlier Ten Forums post there was software that did this called "Windows 8.1 start button changer" which is no longer available. The replacement software is called "CustomizerGod" but when I tried downloading it I received several virus warnings. Is there other software available that is "safe" to use?
Solved How to change Start Menu icon?
I have installed a clean windows 10 installation, and i keep having these different BSOD every time my computer is making a cold start = i shut the pc down in the evening and in the morning BSOD starts the day.. the computer restarts, and it works all day long, resetting and turn off and quick turn on again no BSOD.
I have attached my .zip file
Whenever I shut down my computer, I always have this problem. The Windows 10 insignia and the loading circle beneath will appear, then the screen will fade to black, and then my monitor says it can't detect my computer. I then have to unplug my computer from the outlet because I can't shut it down by pressing the power button. When I start it up again afterwards, it will start perfectly fine. And whenever I try to change the boot configurations, it automatically resets itself to the previous version.
View 9 RepliesI have a custom intel/nvidia mini-itx build with win 10 that has been consistently BSOD on cold startup with various error codes. Its a really annoying problem. No drivers have been identified by who crashed.
The system is completely stable once I am able to log in to windows, even through intense gaming and maxed heaven benchmarks. Nothing is overclocked and all drivers/BIOS are up to date. I have tried disabling Intel smart connect in BIOS at suggestion of another BSOD thread here but did not solve. I have clean installed win 10 from tech bench multiple times to try and fix the problem. Windows SFC finds no integrity violations.

Whenever I switch on my laptop, the start menu appears automatically, I keep trying to close it but nothing works. I tried Esc key, Windows key and even clicking on the Windows key but it still wouldn't close.
View 1 RepliesI have spent all day trying different cures for the Startup menu and task bar freeze problem to no avail. The problem does not exist in my user acct only in the wife's and she is getting upset. I did some how get it to stop locking out and forcing a restart. It's no wonder they give this away if you had the audacity to charge people for something this screwed up you could get into real trouble
View 3 RepliesI restarted my PC after my screen blanked out in a game I was playing after changing the resolution. Then when I boot my PC, the Windows logo appears, the loading thing starts rotating, then it black screens and my monitor displays some text saying "no video avaliable".The only thing I can think of is hard drive corrupted as, whilst running, my PC almost tipped over, but I stopped it.
I will try boot the PC with another hard drive to test my theory
Noticed this A.M. just after my laptop boots up and I sign in,it loads my desktop and then a mysterious command prompt windows appeared for about 3 seconds (not long enough for me to see what it was) and then disappeared.
I've downloaded nothing on my machine,and I've done the SFC scan as well as the check disc scan and nothing was found. I've also run Defender and Malwarebytes and she's clean...
Would this event show up in the log files or event viewer ..Trouble?..and if so what might I look for?
I had a pc failure, so i upgraded my motherboard and chip, as expected windows still booted from start with no issues, restarted to install lan driver, and when it fired up again i had the activate windows bottom right of screen, how do i fix this, I upgraded from win7.
View 10 RepliesSo it started this morning:
I turned on my pc and it froze right after it passed the Blue windows logo screen. A black screen appeared with no cursor.
I rebooted the pc (through the reset button) and everytime it got stuck at the black screen and then rebooted on its own. After a few rounds of black screen and reboots, I got the advanced repair options but it couldn't repair anything.
A very few times that it did manage to go boot and go to the desktop, it froze and didn't let me open any files or folders. Also when I mouse over the files, a black box appears around the icons and the file names appear garbled
I haven't installed anything lately that might cause this to happen.
Yesterday morning the PC worked fine. Last night it refused to load Windows (10) but rather froze on the logo, with the whirly loader. Forced shut down, tried again, same deal. Next time it said "Starting Windows repair", but froze. Next time it said it too, and the next time it didn't. It hasn't said it since. I left it sitting on the frozen screen for about a half an hour, and it gave an error message "Boot disk inaccessible". Unhooked everything, reset CMOS, checked BIOS, reseated memory, ran memory diagnostics, etc..
So I put in a brand spanking new SSD assuming the old one was to blame (as it had become a bit sluggish anyway, being a few years old and all) and went to install new Windows from an official USB stick. And up comes Windows logo and the whirly loading thingy.... and it freezes. I just don't know what to do anymore.
I have had this issue for a long fing time now. like at least 10 clean installations of windows and it still keeps on happening. you can only imaging the amount to frustration im going through right now. I just did another clean install and now im trying everything to avoid this. I even tried switching to enterprise version of windows
I get this issue where the boot logo (win logo with circle) shows up twice. like once and then the screen goes blank for a sec and then i see that shitty thing again but its laggy this time.... I think this is the problem that finally leads to the start menu disappear thingy..
I get a windows logo on start up that has a circle spinning below it and it does that for about 2 minutes ...
View 9 RepliesSo I found this issue in my second laptop that running W10TP. I have HP as my first, and ASUS as the second one.
In my ASUS (2nd) I can't booting the laptop without force shut down through hold the power button, because it always stuck at Windows logo. After shutdown and boot again, I succeeded into the lock screen. But it taking too long in the blank screen for almost one minute.
This issue never happened in my HP laptop.
I've tried many methods to find this issue, system scan, virus scan, update installed drivers, driver scan (it failed). And for a couple days it work so well and I'm happy for that, no more stuck at booting.
But the issue come again after many security update for build 10240. The booting is stuck again and BSOD with pfn_list_ corrupted. After restart the laptop I've tried again all the methods that I've did. And then I found so many viruses and malwares from Windows Defender. It's odd for me because it is never happened before, and suddenly of course.
After the viruses were cleaned, the issue is still persist. I want to reset my laptop from settings/update& security/recovery/reset. Is this necessary to do considering W10 will come in 3 days left?
Don't know if this is a hardware problem or not, Trying to install W10 from USB stick on a ASRock Z87 professional board with default UEFI settings loaded.
The machine boots to USB, then shows the Windows Logo for 10 seconds, then reboots and repeats this loop so I can't even install.
Whenever I press the start button I get the Acer logo screen and the loading dots move without a problem.Then I get a black screen for a couple of seconds and then the Acer logo screen again, but this time the loading dots won't move, as if something went wrong, it stays that way (frozen) for a while, after that the windows loading screen appears (nothing written just those moving loading dots) and I finally get the windows lock screen. I don't think this should be happening, it happens both when the fast startup is enabled or disabled.
View 9 RepliesI bought an asus tranformerbook t200(with windows 10 update) on 11 august and was very happy with it.
Occasionally, the laptop couldnt find any wifi networks but that was fixed quickly by just turning the computer on and off, until today.
Today at school(my second school day at university), i had no internet anymore. He didnt find any networks anymore at all. Turning the laptop on and off wouldnt so a thing. So i tried some things, like turning the broadcom device on and off via device manager. That also didnt work. A user in the internet on another topic suggested to delete the broadcom and then reboot, i did it and things only got worse. My laptop didnt recognize the broadcom wifi adapter anymore at all.
Then I tried to format windows(with saving documents addition) which unfortunately failed. After that, i tried to format it and added the option that everything would be cleaned, that failed also. c windows system32 logfiles srt srttrail.txt is apparently the error.
Now if i start the laptop, the asus logo will show but thereafter the screen just turns black. I tried system recovery and even startup repair but both fail.
I have a Lenovo G500 upgraded to Windows 10. Last night I switched it off but now when I turn it on, it stuck in the startup Lenovo logo. I think that it is a driver issue but I cannot boot it in safe mode to fix it? What can I do? ( I don't mind to lose my files) .
View 1 RepliesI have a Windows 10 computer, but whenever I try to turn it on. It just gets stuck on the windows logo. I have tried a recovery USB, but it hangs as well on the windows logo.
When I tried doing an automatic repair, it also hung on the windows logo with Preparing Automatic Repair for hours. I am doing this for my friend, and he doesn't want to loose his important files (yes, i know, he should have backed them up).
I just upgraded my previous rig- so keeping the motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, optical drive. New case, SSD for Windows, HDD. After building, I ran the Windows 10 installer on the SSD with the HDD and ODD still connected, went off without a hitch. However after it restarted, it kept freezing with the Windows logo and the rotating dots after just a few seconds. I managed to get into the Windows setup (that comes after that booting screen) once, but when I was going through it the computer froze again. So I tried to reinstall- saw that having peripherals can impact things, so I disconnected the ODD and HDD and tried again. Once again the install itself on the SDD went fine, but same issue, even when I disconnected all USBs including mouse, keyboard etc.
I managed to get into Startup Repair (when the computer restarted after I exited the BIOS, which works fine), but it didn't find anything.The Windows 10 install is off an MBR-partitioned USB burned with Rufus.So what my very limited research and understanding of UEFI/BIOS firmware has led me to understand is that the initial USB with MBR partitioning is likely the issue. So if I re-burn the Windows 10 bootable USB, this time with GPT partitioning.
Laptop starts up and I wait for some time but it's still gets stuck and the loading icon appears and then I have to press the button to switch it otherwise it take ages to start.

BSOD happens only when the computer cold boots from a prolonged inactive state. If the PC is off for several hours and is turned on it occurs. Computer typically blue screens, sometimes it freezes at the bios splash screen where they Windows 10 circular loading icon appears on this Gigabyte. I've seen multiple reasons for the occurrence such as bad pooler caller and irql not less or equal. The BSOD happens once then after the computer functions as normal with no other issues.
Power supply, graphics card, and SSD were both pulled from a previous build with zero issues in that build. New to this build is the motherboard, processor, and RAM.
Ran Memtest86 with no errors for 8 passes but I just realized it was after the initial cold boot BSOD and not going from the inactive state to the test directly. Will be swapping out the RAM at Microcenter today just to eliminate that possibility.
Windows 10 was a clean install but it happened on the previous install, BIOS is flashed to the most recent release.
