Boot fail: how to troubleshoot?
Hi all. I just wanted to double-check my troubleshooting thinking here, maybe I'm missing something in the modern era of Win 10. So a laptop with a 2.5" HDD first boots up and gives the light-b...
- Mar 18, 2020Hi, was your Windows 10 updated? the latest build is 1909 at the moment.
keeping an OS updated (Android, Windows, IOS etc) is itself a preventing measure to keep the OS running well.
I see you've done your fair share of troubleshooting and you can already salvage your data, also it seems refreshing/resetting Windows 10 from recovery environment fails for you too?
so may I suggest to do a clean install? you can always grab the latest ISO file from here, put it to USB and do the clean install:

I am having a Windows 10 boot failure on a Lenovo Ideapad Slim-1. It shows the Lenovo logo but after that goes to a black screen. Every so often when I hold the power down for a few seconds after booting below the Lenovo logo says Please wait and then it goes to recovery options or restart pc. I have tried to hold power down for 30 seconds. Did not do a thing to fix booting issue. My dad does not remember his login password. Can someone please help me. I did do one year of college in IT field so if you speak in a bit of technical terms I can understand but if I don't understand you I will ask to explain it a little more detailed.
