Windows 10 64 bit consistently will NOT cold boot.
Hey all, any help will be greatly appreciated! I will try and describe my problem as best I can. Whenever I turn my computer off (full shutdown) it will not boot back up properly unless I hit the restart switch during the windows loading icon. The spinning dots never start, and I am at a loss. everything works just fine after hitting the reset switch duriong the boot sequence. For example, I have noticed this issue for a few days now, and decided to try and consistently replicate it. I can replicate it every time. For example, I went to turn on my computer this morning and then jumped in the shower because I knew it would have booted up by then if there wasn't a problem. To my dismay, when I got out of the shower and looked, the blue windows logo was still there and there were no dots spinning (indicating windows is starting up) I have never gotten a bsod so I am at my wit's end. Again, hitting the reset switch fixes it immediately and it boots up normally in about my normal 5 seconds. I have used a script made by Brink to disable the fast startup and it seemed to have worked. However, the issue still persists. Here is my running environment, and if necessary ALL peripherals. btw this is a new system I built for college last month, and it worked perfectly except I never turned off my computer at home (because it wasnt right next to my bed) so I didnt notice it until now that I am moved into residence.
