Windows 10 infinite loading at startup
Hi Everybody,
when I want to start up my laptop, it just stays at the loading screen with a monocolor background with the windows loading circle. I tried everything I could think of: I ran chkdsks, which found nothing, I tried startup repair, whose "attempting repairs" never had any results, I tried SFC and DISM, both not fixing it. I also tried a fix that apparently worked for a lot of people with the same problem (How to repair Windows 10 recovery loop error without a reinstall - All ), also without success. I also ran a 7 hour hardware check with an included HP software, which did not find any error.
I can boot my computer in safe mode. Since I read that it could help to remove all USB devices, I did so, also I deactivated any device unnecessary for windows in the device manager (using safe mode). However, the next time I turned it on, everything was activated again. When I wanted to create a boot USB with Windows MediaCreationTool (using safe mode), it said "There was a problem running this tool", giving me error code 0x8007043C - 0x90016. I just formatted the stick, it was a Win7 boot stick before, but I don't know if this error has really something to do with the main problem, the stick might be broken, or safe mode does not allow something, I have no idea. I updated all drivers, windows is also up to date. My computer has practically never been in a state as up-to-date, sorted and streamlined as it is now, sadly it just still won't boot
As I said, I never had any comparable issues before. The last time I used the computer, updating iTunes was the only thing I did that could have made an impact. When I clicked "Restart Now" in the installation panel, it shut down and the following startup was when the computer would get stuck loading the first time.
Rebooting my system would really only be the very last resort, as I use it primarily for making music and setting all the plugins, drivers, configurations and so on back up would be a tremendous amount of work.
How can I get my laptop running again? Please help!
Thanks a lot in advance,
Luis
