Windows 10 Not Booting Correctly

rocklock said:

I have a Dell 3252 Desktop. Pentium N3700 1.6 GHz, 8 GHz RAM. I am currently dual-booting Windows 10/Ubuntu 17.04.

I had booted into Ubuntu and was doing an update. The update hung, so after about an hour I shut down and rebooted into Ubuntu. The update finished successfully and I again rebooted. I selected Windows 10 and...nothing. That time and every time since I just get a blank screen. If I go F12/Boot Options and select boot from hard disk I get nothing but the blue widow for 10-15 minutes, then the log in screen. I enter my password and after another 10 minutes if finishes loading.

Once i'm into Windows the fun starts. If I delete a file or folder, the name stays until I go to another directory and come back. If I renames a file or folder, it reverts back to the original until I go to another directory again.

Shutdown, Hibernate, etc. no longer work. Any suggestions?

Hi rocklock and welcome to Tenforums.

In Windows, check the health of your drive:
Crystal Disk Info

Run chkdsk /r on the OS drive

Open an admin command prompt/Powershell and run - sfc /scannow

Turn off Fast Startup and give it a few real shutdowns.

Tried all the above...no joy.

Okay so your hard drive health is good, chkdsk and sfc found no problems, and turning off Fast Startup didn't help.
Perhaps you could try a repair install using an in-place upgrade. This will keep all your programs and files intact.
