Having periodic PC startup problems
Because about half the time when I try to start my PC with Windows 10 it just sits there after I enter my password and click on Enter it shows a ring of dots whirling endlessly and will not progress beyond that point even though I click Enter, Esc, F12 or anything else. I must then go through the annoying time-consuming ritual below to get it to work normally. Also, the PC won’t turn off when I hit the PC power button while it is in this uncooperative condition.
ANNOYING RITUAL STEPS:
- Turn off power strip pc is plugged into & wait 30 secs
- Turn power strip on again
- Turn off PC with its power button when it lights up then wait 30 secs
- Turn on PC power AGAIN with its power button
- Hope the PC starts normally as it should after entering password
- Repeat annoying process if necessary although this usually works the first time
Can anyone help me cure this annoying, time - wasting problem? Thank you very much.
