Cannot sign in to Windows 10
Hi. I've been having problems with my other laptop. When you click on the Start button, there is pane that shows you your installed programs. Well, I was getting automatic down scrolling. I thought it was a stuck key, but actually, it was the mouse causing that scrolling.
Ok. Now, in System Configuration, I've had "Selective startup" ticked. Been like that for ages. Also ticked is "Load system services" and "Load startup" Items. "Use original boot configuration" was un-ticked.
Now, I'd been in safe mode, when I discovered the mouse issue, but before I shut down I went and selected "Normal startup". I thought, why not.
However, I cannot now boot into Windows. Before, I got a screen that displayed the user name that I had chosen, and because I have no password set, Windows booted up quite nicely, without any intervention beyond pressing the Start button. I now get to a point where the name of what I wish to boot into should appear. But, I don't see that user name. I just get a picture and the time and date in large letters. When I do click on the middle of the screen the time and date shoots upwards and disappears. There is some HDD activity, then the time and date return.
Now, I thought from the point that Windows has got me, that I could get back into safe mode by pressing shift and the start button. But, this does not work. So, I am at a loss as to how I can boot up Windows. Help appreciated. Thank you.
