New Upgrade Hangs Just Before Asking For Password
Feb 10, 2016
I just upgraded my neighbor's computer from 7 to 10. All went well EXCEPT for a small glitch. I set it up without a password and it boots to desktop really fast. Upon her checking it out she wanted me to set up a password to keep her children from logging on to it. I did. The password works OK BUT just before the screen asking for the password the computer hangs at the time/date screen. The screen is a pic of a seascape/beach looking through a rock tunnel. I've seen this screen after a computer wakes up from sleep. It will go on if you tap a key. Any way to bypass/stop this screen from showing. She didn't have it with 7 using a password. I tried msconfig with no GUI boot but it doesn't work.

So I've waited for the notification to say that Windows 10 is ready to install and the installation got stuck on a black screen with a blue windows 10 logo. Now it says my Win 7 is invalid. So I made 2 bootable usb. One using Rufus and another using the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool. Same issue occurs with both. I am thinking of installing Windows 8.1 and try to upgrade from there but before I do that.

Upgrade went OK, went back a few days later to download the ISO, ran media creation tool and made all my chorces, english,win 10 pro,x64 bit, selected iso and place to save file. then blue screen comes up and programs states, "getting a few things ready" and that's it, nothing else happens after that, 1hr, 4hr's 12hr's, still both the back and next boxes are grayed out and little dots going in circle. had to use task mgr. to end task no other way to close window. I have done search over the net and at microsoft for this problem, found nothing. done SFC it came back clean. Win 10 is activated.

I have tried everything I can think of, including the stand-alone ZA uninstall, however the Win 10 installer is detecting *something* and refusing to proceed until ZA is uninstalled:
Some Apps need t be uninstalled
These programs need to be uninstalled because they aren't compatible with the upgrade.

I have an Acer laptop that is only used for the Internet. The OS was recently upgraded to Windows 10, not by me. The problem is a forgotten or misused password. I can't get beyond enter your password. I'd like to reset the password, but Windows 10 isn't letting me do that.

Getting error message, "That password is incorrect. Make sure yo're using the password for you Microsoft account. You can always reset it at account.live.com/password/reset."
I just upgrade after purchasing this laptop 2 days ago. After the first restart of the successful upgrade I can't log in. I'm using the right password and have changed it and used that with no success. I can't do anything with this computer and like I said just bought it and need it for work.

My father upgraded his Acer Aspire laptop to Windows 10 last week and now his login password is not working. I don't know if he had to put in a password to do the upgrade or if he miss-typed it. How to reset it or find the one he needs?

My wife's laptop upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 several months ago. As soon as it finished she lost access to her old files. And we didn't remember the admin passwords. I created a new account for her. But she needs her old files......emails,recipes,etc. Then we were out of the country for a month.I am not very computer literate. I've probably spent 60-70 hours trying to learn because of this problem. I stumbled through Ophcrack with no luck. I used the Utilman reset last week. I reset the 2 local admin passwords to blank and created a new admin account. There was another administrator account that I couldn't reset. I don't know if it is a higher authority or what.
The new Local Account Administrator I created seems to have limitations. Some things I've tried,it responds I don't have permission. I changed my wife's acct from admin to user.I thought I would be able to reset her password. It doesn't give me that option.

After upgrading two old household laptops to Windows 10 through the step up dealio, I decided it was okay and stable to update my one month old gaming machine as well,
( YES I forgot to back it up, stupid, yes. Only truly worried about my save game files as the critical information on my SSD, nothing dreadfully important besides lots of hours of wasted Witcher 3 time)
The update installed seemingly fine, although overnight and I woke up to the password login, whence from there I entered my password and the screen freezes and the PC restarts almost immediately and brings me right back to the endless cycle of Login/password entrance screen.
1.Can I make a bootable USB from my other laptops with Win10 currently Installed and use it to reinstall on my gaming rig, or at least download it online and do it that way?
2. Would reinstalling my Win7 delete any folders and files (save games and steam games not on backup 2TB HDD) that are on my SDD, basically downgrading windows back from the Win10 login to the Win7 stable version?
3. Could it be my GTX 970 crashing new Win10 because I didnt install the new Nvidia driver pre-Win10 install? Maybe try removing the card and booting with onboard i5 4690k GPU? (will try soon)
Why does this happen to my brand spanking new mid range rig and not the jalopy old laptops I have...

Ok so i am furious with Micro$oft now! the other day i was FORCED to change my microsoft account after much nagging i did so and i dont like changing logins too much. (this was a week ago)
now for some random reason on earth without my permission my windows login also changed login passwords to the microsoft account. I DONT WANT THAT! that password is too long and complicated for someone who locks his computer every 5 minutes or so. why did this just kick in now? i changed M$ account pass over a week ago and today it decides to change windows login?! can i change JUST my local windows login separate from microsoft login?
if i try to change pass from settings it it goes online and says you cant use password that has been used before.

after an update at starting, tablet laptop start gives picture/clock screen, that slides to the password screen but when password block is touched on screen or mouse clicked the screen flips back to the picture/clock ... how to deal with this kind of lock out that the typing box won't open and loops to clock screen? have turned off for an hour to see if that does it..but if not...would restarting into a repair or recovery be possible fix...i have never been able to get into safe mode without being logged in but have gotten into recovery during a restart which made me wonder if entering a recovery during boot and reversing the upgrade was possible if all else fails...

I first noticed this after upgrading to Windows 10, it is possible that it happened beforehand but I'm confident that's not the case.Essentially at random intervals, several minutes apart, my USB devices just hang. Most noticeably with the mouse, I get a split second where the mouse can't move and then it jumps to where it should have been when I originally moved it. Same thing happens with the keyboard but it's slightly less noticeable. I've noticed this with my headset as well which is really irritating because it still doesn't make a disconnect noise but for some reason I have to unplug and plug it back in again to get it to work.
It happens on the USBs connected directly to the motherboard but also the front ones as well. There is no disconnect noise when this happens, nothing else hangs it's just the USB devices.The first thing I did was upgrade to latest chipset drivers etc. This did not fix the issue, so I did a clean install of Windows 10 and I'm still having this problem.

I have a Samsung RV511 and have recently tried to upgrade from win 7 to win 10. Everything goes smoothly until the restart after everything is downloaded. My laptop restarts and then hangs on the win 10 logo.
I tried restarted and win 7 loads up and im greet with this message once I log on: 0xC1900101 - 0x20017
The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation.

the only indication is when I try and reconnect nothing happens the "Connect" button just flashes.
the only way to reconnect is to reboot.

Win 10 hangs in the boot process. It hangs at the point where the login screen should be appearing. Actually it is the step before that as I don't get the picture. The system goes to a black screen and becomes unresponsive.
This used to be a dual boot machine, Ubuntu and Windows. I have the machine only trying to boot windows. The grub menu system has been removed.
Along the way I used the Ubuntu gparted. This tool is telling me that there is a corruption problem with the Windows OS partition. The RECOVERY partition looks clean.
Now if I strike f10 (I think) during the boot process I can get into the recovery menu system. If I choose to fix startup problems I can eventually get to a very scaled back version of Windows without networking. The debugging mode doesn't work and the boot logging mode doesn't work. I don't see my own account login but rather get an administrator account that seems to be built into windows. This account doesn't let me do simple things like turn on the networking.
I guess I need to create some kind of a recovery thumb drive that will allow me to boot things "normally."

Nine times out of ten the shutdown procedure on the recently installed Windows 10 O/S hangs on shutdown. The only way I can close down the system, after a suitable pause, is to turn off the current, which doesn't seem to do any harm as the system restarts normally the next time I boot it up, but it irritates me considerably.
I am running an HP Z230 tower PC with an Intel i7 processor, 8 GB of RAM, 990 GB hard disk and a 64bit O/S.

I upgraded from windows 7 pro x64 to Windows 10 pro x64. Since the first time I upgraded, it's all good the first 10ish minutes, and then nothing works.If I open a new tab in Edge, that one doesn't load. If I click a link on an existing page, it doesn't load.
The windows menu shows up when I click it, but I cannot search anything in it.If I start a new application, it doesn't start it.Win-R does show the command runner, but anything ran there doesn't start (even cmd or notepad) (no matter which app, explorer, notepad, etc...).
Restart/Hibernate/Shutdown doesn't do anything.I have to force reset (hardware button) to be able to use the computer another 10ish minutes before it becomes unusable again.
I tried removing many services/apps at start-up, didn't work. Malwarebytes and panda antivirus didn't find anything wrong. Repair start-up / system didn't work. So I performed a clean install of Windows 10 (still pro x64).

I have been recently noticing that my computer sometimes hangs up with a blank screen when the windows 10 login screen is supposed to load. I am forced to press the reset button in order to eventually log on.
I have then noticed through event viewer a bugcheck warning. I have been trying to find what the cause or issue might be but I have not had any luck. I am attaching a report as per forum rules

I am running Windows 10 (64-bit), but this problem also occurred on 8.1 and 7 (both 64-bit) with clean installations. I am also dual booting Ubuntu Studio 15.04, but more on that later.
When I boot my PC into 10, I have up to ten minutes before my PC either resets forcefully by itself, or freezes and never recovers. When I check the Minidump folder afterwards nothing is there.
I have replaced both my CPU (amd fx-6300) and PSU (corsair cx500m), and tested my RAM (with both sticks or just one), but none of that has fixed the problem.
My BIOS settings are at their defaults, no over/underclocking or over/undervolting at all.
The odd thing is, Ubuntu Studio runs fine with no crashes as far as I can see *EDIT: NOT THE CASE* , but if there was a software problem surely there would be a dump file?

So I got a new laptop - MSI Dominator Pro GT72. I added two 8GB sticks of RAM on top of the current 16GB currently in it. It also had two Kingston m.2 SSDs in RAID 0. It was running with out any problems what so ever. I decided after that I actually wanted the ssds as two independent drives. So I removed the RAID setup and did a clean install of Windows 10 back on. That seemed to install all ok.
Then In the process of installing the drivers from the provided MSI disc it hung and then restarted. Then ever time after on login it froze a few seconds in. I thought I'd try a clean install again on the other SSD this time just to see if it reoccurred. Sure did. After installing some of the drivers and using the machine it crashed again and froze on login. I even tried all the updated drivers from the msi website instead of the ones on the disc.
I've run a memtest and absolutely no errors. I've updated the bios and firmware also. I then began running verifier to see if I could find a culprit. I got a BSOD before login repeatedly. I then got down to only selecting a bare few drivers in the test and was able to login with no BSOD. When I ran verifier with combinations of drivers they worked sometimes and only really seemed to crash when i stacked more and more drivers for it to test. I'm not sure if its suppose to work that way or not.
I thought it might have something to do with me separating the m.2 ssds from the RAID. I should mention that there is a 1TB hdd also in the machine.
