Windows 10 can be started. Windows does not boot after installing updates. "Computer did not start correctly" error

To understand why Windows 10 does not start, you need to determine after what actions the problem arose: reinstalling programs or, removing system software or.

If the system worked stably before the problem and the black screen did not appear, then you may need to check the hardware of the device for a breakdown.

Computer won't turn on after update

In the window that opens, select the tile called "Diagnostics" and then the option "Recovery". The system will do everything for you.

Wait a while and all the missing components will be installed and the computer will restart.

If Windows did not start after diagnostics and the black screen is still present, you should roll back the updates and return to the old version of the operating system.

Microsoft developers may not have fixed the installation issue for your device yet.

To roll back the OS to a previous version, the diagnostic window mentioned above is used. Click on the diagnostics tile, then on the advanced options tab.

Start System Restore:

In the window that opens, you will see all existing restore points and the date they were created. Select the point with the current date and click "Continue".

In a few minutes, the newly installed system will be completely removed from the computer and, by restarting the computer, you will return to using the previous version of the OS.

Black screen on system boot

If the system takes a long time to boot, and you only see a black screen, you should try to restore the parameters using the diagnostic window, as described in the previous paragraph of the article.

In most cases, the system restarts and starts working successfully again. Perhaps the black screen appeared due to incorrect driver installation.

A black screen at startup may be the result of a virus or spyware infection on your computer.

In this case, you should completely reinstall the operating system without saving any user files and programs, because they can transfer the virus to the new OS.

Long boot Windows 10

If your device's RAM is less than 2 GB, it's normal for windows 10 to run slowly.

Your computer's hardware cannot handle the updated version of the OS.

For more comfortable work, install one of the previous versions of Windows on your computer, it will not start for a long time.

OS optimization includes the following steps:

• Removing all unnecessary programs from the autorun menu. You can view the list of software that is loaded when you turn on the computer in Explorer, to do this, open the "Startup" tab;

Press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc buttons at the same time and then to see all applications, just open the "Startup" section.

Then right-click on the unwanted program and click disable.

• Scan your computer for malware with powerful antivirus software;
• Update the store and remove unnecessary applications from it, they can run in the background and load the system;

Create a disk with a recovery version of the OS

You can only create a recovery drive using a working OS on another computer. Go to the control panel and in the search field enter the following text: "recovery disk".

Then you will see the following results. Click on the first one.

In many cases, including when upgrading from an older version of Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10, users experience increased operating system boot times.

The symptoms of the error usually include a black screen after watching the Windows boot animation with the ability to move the cursor on the screen, and the inability to do anything else during this time. In some cases, this situation can last more than a minute.

Two laptops with this issue were used in our testing: Dell Inspiron 17 2013, and Acer Aspire V5 2013. After installing Windows 10, Acer added more than a minute to the initial boot time, and Dell 25 seconds.

Fix Acer Aspire V5 boot speed by disabling fast system startup.

Reference! Fast Startup is a feature included by default in Windows 10, which should reduce the startup time of the system (OS) when it starts not from the hard disk (HDD), but from the hiberfile.sys file. However, according to many users, this feature causes OS boot issues.

These steps on the Acer Aspire V5 laptop reduced the OS boot time at this stage by 80 seconds.

Disabling processes with a high impact on OS startup

Some processes that have a high impact on OS startup can be disabled (with the exception of security software) so as not to interfere with Windows 10 booting.

Step 1. On the keyboard, press Atl + Ctrl + Del at the same time. A functional menu will appear, where you need to select "Task Manager" with the mouse.

Step 2 The Task Manager dialog box will appear. Click on the "Startup" tab and find out if there are unnecessary processes with a high "startup impact" (High) in the operating system.

Step 3 Right-click the process you want to disable, and click Disable. Carry out this procedure with all the processes that affect the startup of the system. After close (cross at the top) window.

Disabling said processes should also reduce OS boot time.

Video card drivers

On a Dell Inspiron 17 laptop, it was not possible to speed up the launch of Windows 10 using the methods listed above. Even though the methods below worked, it still did not completely fix the problem with the laptop.

The black screen that occurs during the boot phase of Windows 10 is believed to be a graphics driver issue that is especially severe on laptops switching between an integrated (integrated) Intel HD GPU and a dedicated card from Nvidia or AMD.

An easy way to check this is to disable your AMD or Nvidia graphics driver and restart your computer.

Step 1. Click on the magnifying glass icon to the right of the Start button. Enter in the line that appears: "Device Manager" and click on the icon that appears at the top with the inscription "Device Manager".

Step 2 Select "Display Adapters" with the mouse and identify the dedicated graphics card. It will be labeled as Nvidia, AMD Radeon or ATI Radeon. Right-click on the graphics card and click "Disable" (this may cause the screen to go blank for a while).

Turn off (not reboot, just turn off) the computer and turn it on again to make sure the problem is fixed.

Important! If you are using only the Intel HD Display Adapter, you do not need to complete the above steps.

If the graphics adapter is causing the problem, you must re-enable the disabled graphics card using the steps above, and then download the latest graphics card driver from the graphics card manufacturer's website: amd.com/drivers or nvidia.com/drivers by installing it in the OS.

After downloading and installing the driver, turn off and turn on the computer to see if the problem is resolved.

Reference! If booting is still slow, it's worth checking if it's an effective solution to disable fast startup along with new graphics card drivers.

AMD Power Saving

If your laptop has an AMD graphics card, there is one more step you can try. To do this, you need to open the registry editor.

Step 1. Right click on the Start icon and left click on Run.

Step 2 In the window that appears, type regedit and click OK.

Step 3 In the "Registry Editor" window that opens, select "Edit" - "Find" with the mouse. Type EnableULPS into the search box and click Find Next. After a short search procedure, EnableULPS will become visible in the list of registry settings.

Step 4 Double click it and change the value from 1 to 0 in Value Data by clicking OK.

This will disable the power saving feature, which turns off the dedicated graphics card when not needed. As a result, the laptop will consume more battery power, so you need to do this only if the laptop has been plugged into the 220V network for a longer time.

If the above solutions don't work

If none of the above solutions work, you can try to reset Windows 10 to its original state by deleting all files and programs. The advantage of this solution over reinstalling the OS is the ability to keep personal files.

Step 1. Open the "Start" menu and click on the "Settings" button.

Step 2 In the window that appears, select "Updates and Security".

Step 3 In the next pop-up window, select "Recovery". In the "Reset your computer to its original state" subsection, click the "Start" button.

Step 4 You will be prompted to save your personal files or delete them. Select the desired option.

Step 5

The “Reset” of Windows 10 will begin. The PC will (perhaps several times) restart, and after completing the procedure, you will get a “clean” OS.

In the case of the Dell Inspiron 17 laptop, a full “Reset” of the OS was the only way to solve the slow boot problem in Windows 10. The boot problems persist, but as long as fast startup is turned off, the black screen is no longer visible.

If your Windows 10 PC has old or corrupted drivers, your computer may also boot slowly. To correct the situation, you can update the device drivers.

Reference! In this case, you can save a significant amount of time if you use dedicated driver update programs such as Driver Easy.

Step 1. Download and install Driver Easy. Launch the program and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will scan your computer and find "faulty" drivers.

Step 2 After finding the drivers you need to update, click the Update button next to the driver you need, or the Update All button for all found drivers.

Step 3 Restart Windows 10 and see if it loads faster.

If the computer on which Windows 10 is installed is rather weak, you should also pay attention to the antivirus used in the system. If several such programs are used, it is recommended to choose the most productive one and leave only it.

You can also use only the “Windows Defender” built into the OS, which in Windows 10, unlike Windows 7 and 8, has become a valuable assistant for everyday use, generally reliably protecting the PC.

You can also perform a "clean" installation of the OS to permanently solve the indicated problem.

Problems loading the Windows 10 operating system occur for various reasons. This usually occurs when a hardware or software error occurs, for example, if a system file has been accidentally uninstalled by the user. Do not exclude the possibility of infecting your computer with malware. Let's take a closer look at the reasons for the inability to boot Windows 10 and how to solve them.

Why Windows 10 won't boot

There may be several errors indicating a malfunction in the operation of the operating system, and they all manifest themselves in different ways:

• after the download is completed, a blue screen appears, the system requires the user to reboot to restore;
• a black screen is displayed: this usually indicates the presence of a serious hardware malfunction on the PC;
• error codes appear: it is recommended to write down the indicated codes and use them to find information about the error and how to eliminate it;
• other malfunctions.

To summarize, the reasons for the inability to boot Windows 10 are divided into two groups:

• software reasons;
• hardware malfunctions.

The reasons for not loading Windows 10 can be associated not only with failures in the system itself, but also with malfunctions of components.

Software reasons

Many PC users often resort to installing software products from unknown sources. As such, any unsecured websites act.

Programs downloaded from unknown sources often contain malicious code that subsequently infects other files on the computer. This can lead to a violation of the integrity of the installed software and system files and, as a result, problems when loading the OS.

If you download software from the Internet, do it only from protected resources. You can identify them as follows: the address bar of the browser must use the https protocol type. It shows that you are using a secure connection. Downloading files from such sites minimizes the risks of computer failure and violation of the integrity of the operating system.

Installing an additional OS

Often, problems when loading Windows 10 appear after installing another operating system. In this case, system files located on the same hard disk partition may conflict with each other, which causes errors when loading the OS.

Having multiple operating systems on the same device can often cause errors and boot issues

Note that the presence of several operating systems can lead to the loss of one of them. If you really need to install two or more operating systems at the same time, install them on different partitions. So you can avoid conflicts in the operation of system files.

Inaccurate work with hard disk partitions

The hard drive is a kind of basis for a personal computer. It is here that all the most important information is located: system files, user and application data, and much more.

If careless or unprofessional work with hard disk partitions, problems may occur. Depending on the specific problem, the user will encounter the following:

• failure of the hard drive;
• the occurrence of errors when working with a computer;
• OS boot errors.

If you do not have an urgent need to create many hard disk partitions, then use one. By doing so, you reduce the risk of problems with the operating system in the future.

Working with the system registry

A lot of data is stored in the system registry of a personal computer. For example, after installing programs or applications, data about them is written to the registry. Here you can find digital signatures, set up work with utilities, and much more.

Incorrect use of the system registry capabilities leads to extremely negative results.

Using programs to change the design

Often users want to have a beautiful desktop design or try to optimize the performance of a personal computer in any possible way. In these and many other cases, they install additional software.

Regardless of where the user downloaded the design utilities, they could potentially be harmful. Subsequently, due to these utilities, you may encounter problems booting the OS.

You should not get carried away with design programs for Windows 10 - often they provoke the appearance of system boot problems.

Utilities that supposedly improve PC performance and optimize its performance can also harm ordinary users. Even despite the fact that such programs are made as simple as possible, and most of them only make their own adjustments to the registry and other system elements.

If you encounter OS problems due to such utilities, then use only reliable programs like CCleaner or similar to clean the registry.

Update failures

Updates for the Windows 10 operating system are released regularly. And sometimes the problem lies precisely in these updates. For example, when it comes out with bugs, causing users to experience errors when loading the OS. But this happens extremely rarely, and Microsoft solves problems quickly by releasing patches for updates.

In addition, there are additional problems from which the user is not immune:

1. You didn't wait for the updates to finish installing. In this case, either you will start the installation again the next time you start the system, or you will have problems when working with the PC.
2. You have uninstalled important files after updates. This can lead to incorrect operation of the system as a whole.

Driver problems

Key components of personal computers or laptops use drivers. These are software products supplied by the manufacturer that synchronize the operation of devices. In many ways, it depends on them how convenient it will be for the user to work with the computer. The appearance of errors in this software promises big problems (with the exception of drivers from data input / output devices).

Operating system loading errors are caused by malfunctions in the operation of drivers only from the following components:

• PC motherboard;
• graphics adapter;
• RAM;
• HDD.

Malware

Viruses, trojans, and other types of malware are notoriously bad news. Most of them make adjustments to the installed files and further exploit their vulnerabilities for their own benefit.

If you have problems loading the operating system, do not forget about the most obvious reason for this - viruses and malware

Utilities of this kind are often registered in the startup parameters of a personal computer and even in the system registry. Because of this, it is extremely difficult to track down and uninstall malware on your own. In this case, it is best to use antivirus programs.

To protect against viruses and other "malware", it is recommended to use only licensed anti-virus products. They receive regular updates, so the user will be protected from any malware added to the database.

It should be noted that the Windows 10 operating system has built-in virus protection, which, unlike previous versions, works really well.

Applications in startup

Programs that, after installation, are located in the startup section are automatically activated even when Windows 10 starts. Of course, if the user has installed any utility that does not work correctly, he will encounter errors when loading the OS.

Hardware failures

Hardware problems - the most negative scenario. The fact is that most of these malfunctions can only be solved by timely replacement of system components.

Regardless of the cause of hardware problems, they must be fixed as soon as possible, because all parts of the system are interconnected. For example, if the cooling system fails, then the PC owner may lose the entire device.

Changing BIOS settings

The BIOS is a built-in tool for working with the hardware of a personal computer. Thanks to it, you can change the order of activation of computer elements and the functionality of parts, learn about the status of components (for example, temperature), and much more.

If the user changed the boot order of system elements in an incorrect way, the likelihood of errors when loading the Windows 10 operating system will increase.

RAM problems

Problems in the operation of the RAM of a personal computer are characterized by the appearance of the so-called blue screen. Therefore, it is not difficult to find out exactly what the problem is in this case.

RAM is an important element of the entire system: it stores temporary files when the user works with the computer.

The appearance of the "blue screen of death" is a clear sign of problems in the RAM

The main causes of RAM failures include:

• mechanical damage to the element;
• exceeding the maximum supported amount of memory (motherboards are limited in the use of RAM);
• device contamination.

Incorrect hard drive connection

Each element of a personal computer is connected and synchronized with others through special cables - loops. Often, their damage or incorrect connection can be the reason why the user encounters errors when loading the OS on his computer.

The most common case is an incorrect connection of the hard drive to the motherboard. You can easily find out that this is your case by the following error code: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

System storage problems

Most errors when loading the Windows 10 operating system indicate problems with the installed drive. The problem may be that you are using a broken hard drive or it was not properly connected to the computer.

Problems with the graphics adapter

The Windows operating system, like any other, is a graphic element. Accordingly, if the user does not see images on the monitor screen, this indicates a malfunction in the video driver or the corresponding board. The BIOS can also signal the same problem, depending on the version installed.

Malfunctions of other elements

Errors when starting the Windows 10 operating system can also appear for a number of other reasons. For example, if you have disabled the keyboard, the system will not start. Modern computers are designed in such a way that they will certainly prompt the user about it in advance, even before loading the OS.

The motherboard, as you know, is the most important element of a personal computer and laptop. It literally combines the functionality of all installed elements. It is on it that components are installed and connected. The failure of certain elements of the board, for example, the north or south bridges, can cause errors when loading Windows 10.

If there are malfunctions of the motherboard elements (for example, the north bridge), errors will occur when loading the OS

Power supply - a part that supplies electricity to all installed components. The owner of the PC will not be able to start it if the components together exceed the capabilities of the power supply. However, errors when loading Windows 10 can be directly related to problems in the operation of this part.

How to troubleshoot Windows 10 software problems

Troubleshooting methods are directly related to the causes of their occurrence.

Note that there is a way to eliminate software problems without unnecessary time costs. It is a system restore. When working with Windows 10, users can "roll back" the system even to its original state, while retaining all the necessary files. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the "Start" shortcut and select the "Settings" section.
2. Locate the Update & Security option.
3. Go to the "Recovery" tab. You will see several options. You can reset your PC (with the ability to keep the files you need) or roll back to an earlier build. Choose the most appropriate action for your case and click "Start".

The described method allows you to avoid editing the registry, get rid of problems in the operation of drivers, incorrect installation of updates, and much more.

Removing an OS from the selection menu

Each installed operating system creates a directory that contains basic information about it. In this case, the operating systems that were installed earlier are moved to the Windows.old folder. You can get rid of the problem with loading Windows 10 if you remove additionally installed versions of operating systems and perform formatting. To do this, do the following:

Select the operating system to remove and confirm the action by clicking Remove

Restoring hard disk partitions

To solve this problem, you can use the same utility as in the previous case:

1. Run the standard search utility and enter in the "Disk Management" field.
2. Next, go to the "Storage Devices" tab and select the "Disk Management" option.
3. Delete new hard drive partitions, leaving active. Do not forget about the file system, which should be NTFS.

System Restore

Usually, changes to the system registry are made only by software tools, for example, their data, license keys, and much more are written here. Inexperienced users are not recommended to make changes to the registry on their own, as this can most likely lead to problems.

Most often, viruses and other malware are registered in the system registry. A regular antivirus or the built-in Windows Defender will help to detect and effectively remove them.

If the problem persists after the antivirus scan, you need to start the OS in safe mode. Use a recovery tool that will allow you to get rid of an urgent problem much faster and easier. For this:

Video: how to restore Windows 10

Removing skin changers

Get rid of programs that change the appearance of the Windows operating system or work with the system registry (for example, delete or change its elements). Such programs are potentially dangerous. To remove them, use the utility built into the OS:

1. Open the "Settings" section in the "Start" menu.
2. Select Applications.
3. Scroll through the list and find the software you are looking for.
4. Click "Remove" to uninstall.

Troubleshooting Incorrect Updates

If you think that the problem appeared after installing updates, you can remove the latest installed ones. For this:

1. Open Settings from the Start menu and select Update & Security.
2. Go to the "Recovery" tab.
3. In the list that appears on the right, select the option to "Go back to a previous version of Windows 10".

After that, the system will automatically return the old data, and the latest installed updates will be deleted.

Malware removal

If errors occur after installing any utility, scan it and the entire computer with an antivirus program. Depending on the number of files in the system, the procedure may take from 10–20 minutes or more.

This method allows you to get rid of even those malicious programs whose presence you did not even suspect.

Changing autorun options

If after installing the program or during the installation procedure, failures occurred, it is likely that it is the cause of problems with loading the operating system. In this situation, you need to change the startup settings. For this you need:

This is where the utilities that run in conjunction with the operating system are displayed. You just have to highlight the suspicious program and click the "Disable" button in the lower right corner of the window.

How to fix Windows 10 hardware problems

As mentioned above, problems with hardware causes of non-booting of the system are often solved by replacing the components of a personal computer. Consider all possible options for malfunctions and ways to eliminate them:

1. If, after changing the boot order of components in the BIOS of the computer, you experience errors when loading the OS, then arrange the elements as follows: the installed drive should be loaded as the primary element, then drives like DVD-ROM, Floppy Disk, etc.
2. Disassemble the system unit and check if the cables are connected correctly, in particular, those related to the hard drive. In case of violation of their integrity, purchase new SATA or IDE (determined by the hard drive and motherboard).
3. Check the integrity of the RAM sticks. If they are broken or have been connected incorrectly, they must be replaced. In some cases, cleaning the connection nodes - the places where the RAM is installed - allows you to get rid of the problem.
4. If no graphics are displayed when you turn on the computer, then it's time to change the video card. You cannot restore it, and the cost of repair is almost identical to buying a new part. If you can start your PC in safe mode (with driver support), then uninstall and redownload the drivers for the device. You can perform this procedure using the "Device Manager". Open it and find the item "Display Adapters". Click on the name of the video card and activate "Properties". Then click "Update Drivers" or "Uninstall".
5. If the motherboard or power supply malfunctions, you will not be able to use the computer (with rare exceptions). Therefore, this problem is solved only by replacing parts.
6. Faults associated with the operation of peripherals are also solved by replacing devices.

Over time, the system will boot longer and longer. Someday this will lead to the fact that the inclusion procedure will begin to take too much time. But there are ways to speed it up.

Causes of long loading

Any work with the system causes its contamination. Of course, the computer tries to clean itself and renew itself, but it is impossible to do this forever. The reasons why the download process is too long are different:

• fragmentation of the disk on which all user and system files are located;
• a small amount of free disk space;
• incompatible applications, the launch of which is difficult for the system;
• a large number of applications in startup;
• registry pollution;
• outdated drivers;
• virus infection;
• damage or contamination of the physical components of the computer.

These problems are relevant for all versions of operating systems, but we will consider solutions for Windows 10. In addition, we will pay attention to a change in the boot method, which will speed up the system startup.

Download acceleration

If you cannot determine the cause of the slow download, follow all the instructions below one by one. Always check to see if the startup speed has changed so that you know exactly which method dealt with the problem now and will help in the future when a similar situation arises again.

defragmentation

The hard disk is divided into memory cells. Every time something is written to it, the cells are filled, when it is erased, they are released. But over time, it turns out that free and occupied cells begin to be mixed up. In this case, they talk about disk fragmentation. It leads to a decrease in the speed of writing and reading from it, since the system starts to take more time to find the right cells.

This problem is relevant only for HDD drives, SSDs work on a different principle. But Windows 10 knows about this, so it uses a special optimization option for each type. Whichever drive you use, follow these steps:

1. Open the properties of any disk partition by selecting the "Properties" item in the context menu of the desired disk.

   Open disk properties

2. Go to the "Service" tab, use the "Optimize" button.

   In the "Service" tab, click on the "Optimize" button

3. Run the analysis. After its completion, you will know if the disk needs to be optimized.

   Click on the "Analyze" button to run disk analysis

4. If the answer is yes, run the optimization. User files are not affected, but only moved around the disk itself so that it is easier for the computer to interact with them. The only change you will notice is an increase in boot speed and system performance.

   Click the "Optimize" button to start the disk defragmentation process

Free up space

A small amount of free space leads to the fact that the system has to process too much data when loading. It also needs some unallocated space to store temporary files. If it is not, the system has a hard time. So make sure that at least 15-20% of each section is empty. At the end of the article, several programs are presented that allow you to clean up space from useless files automatically.

Clear space if disk is full

Disabling autorun of unnecessary programs

Some programs launch themselves as soon as the user logs in. If there are many such programs, or they are demanding, then it will take a large amount of system resources and, accordingly, time to run them.

Please note that you should not remove the antivirus from the list, as it must always be running.

Video: how to remove a program from startup in Windows 10

Conflicting Programs

Programs that are mutually exclusive are called conflicting programs. The situation where two programs cannot work with each other is very rare.

It is worth remembering one main rule - do not use more than one antivirus. If you install two or more antiviruses at the same time, each of them will begin to block the other, and this will reduce the performance and protection of the system.

Registry cleaning

Error reports, broken files, and other contaminants accumulate in the registry. Cleaning it by hand is a long and unsafe way. Therefore, at the end of the article, programs are listed that can do this automatically for you.

Video: How to manually clean the registry in Windows 10

Checking Drivers

The quality of interaction between the elements of the system depends on the presence of the correct drivers. Download speed is affected by video card and processor drivers. Perhaps you have not installed original drivers from the manufacturer, but universal ones from Microsoft. This may reduce the performance of the elements.

1. Expand Device Manager. It can be found through the system search bar.

   Open "Device Manager" via the "Start" menu

2. Find the video card in the list, open its properties. If the "Digital Signature" line says "Microsoft", follow these steps. If the native manufacturer is specified (for example, NVidia, Intel, AMD, etc.), then nothing needs to be done.

   Find out the creator of the drivers by looking at the "Digital Signature" item

3. Go to the Details tab and copy the hardware ID.

   Find out the "Hardware ID" to find the right driver for it

4. By the copied value, find and download the drivers from the official website of the manufacturer.

   Download drivers for the video card from its manufacturer's website

5. Go back to Device Manager. Select your graphics card again and run the driver update process.

   Use the "Update Drivers" button

6. Select manual installation, specify the path to the previously downloaded file and wait for the installation to complete. Repeat the same steps for the processor.

   Specify the path to the driver and start the installation process

Cleaning viruses

Open the installed antivirus and run a full scan. Be sure to run a full scan, not a quick scan. It will take longer, but the result will be better. After the scan is completed, do not forget to allow the antivirus to erase the viruses found.

Perform a full computer virus scan

Physical component failure and contamination

Perhaps the components of your computer are broken or outdated and are no longer able to run heavy Windows 10. In this case, there is only one thing left - to replace them. But first, make sure your computer is dust-free. Open the lid and check if there is so much dirt that it contributes to overheating of the components, and this, in turn, slows down the system. Carefully remove the dust and check if the system has become faster.

You should clean your computer from dust to protect its physical components from overheating.

Fast Boot Activation

Windows 10 has a feature that allows you to speed up loading by changing the way some data is saved. When the computer is turned off, it will start loading some of the files into a special file, and when it is turned on again, it will retrieve them from there, which will significantly speed up the process.

1. Open the "Control Panel" by finding it through the search bar of the "Start" menu, and go to the "Power Options" block.

   Select the "Power" section

2. Click on the line "Actions of power buttons".

   Click on the "What the power buttons do" button

3. Proceed to change unavailable options.

   Open the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" section

4. Check the box next to the "Quick Start" function. Done, the next time the computer starts to boot faster.

   Activate fast start

5. If the function is missing, then hibernation is disabled. You can activate it through the "Command Prompt", launched with administrator rights. To do this, you need to find it through the search bar of the Start menu and, by right-clicking, select the item "Run as administrator" in the context menu. In the window that opens, run the powercfg -h on command. Hibernation will be activated and the Quick Start function will become available for activation.

   Run powercfg -h on to enable hibernation

Video: How to enable fast startup in Windows 10

Programs for automatic optimization

As mentioned above, it is better to entrust some optimization actions to programs, their list is presented below. It is strongly recommended to download them only from the official websites of manufacturers.

Never use programs that promise to speed up your system by running all the time. Optimization is possible only with a one-time, not continuous intervention. Such programs only slow down the system.

CCleaner

A convenient, free and simple program, after launching which you will only need to press the "Analysis" and "Clear" buttons. With it, you can put in order not only the disk, but also the registry.

Advanced System Care

A free program with a nice design that can clean up the disk, registry and optimize the system as a whole. The number of functions that it will perform depends on the checkboxes you have set in the lower block of the program.

With Wise Disk Cleaner you can quickly clean the system, registry and defragment the disk

Video: How to use Wise Disk Cleaner

There are many ways to speed up system boot. The main thing is to find among them the one that will solve the problem in your case. In this case, it is worth using special programs that will take on part of the work.

If you are faced with the fact that Windows 10 does not boot, do not rush to reinstall the system. In most cases, you can fix the problem yourself. Let's consider all possible cases of problems with turning on Windows 10 and ways to solve this problem.

Why is Windows 10 not loading or loading for a long time?

Before you start troubleshooting a problem, remember what you were doing before it appeared (playing a game, installing a new program, running an antivirus scan, reinstalling drivers, cleaning your hard drive, and so on). This will help you quickly identify exactly how you need to act to fix the system.

Reasons why Windows 10 takes a long time to load when turned on:

• Incorrect computer shutdown. Often, instead of turning off through the Start menu, users prefer to unplug the computer from the outlet. Also, improper shutdown can occur when the computer's battery is low. Because of this, system files can be damaged;
• In another partition of the drive Another operating system has been installed. If you have not created your own hard disk for an additional OS, you will have problems when you turn on the computer, because one bootloader is replaced by another and the computer “does not understand” which OS to turn on;
• Previously did you perform operations on the hard disk memory– Formatted or archived data. The operating system loader may have been archived. In this case, instead of the start screen, a window appears with the text " BOOTMGR is compressed";

• Editing the system registry;
• Using programs to speed up the system. As a rule, they cause serious harm to the computer, up to the need to reinstall the OS;
• Driver failure equipment;
• Computer damage by virus software;
• Too much a large number of programs in autorun. In this case, the desktop loads, but then an error window appears, and the system freezes.

If you are faced with a situation where Windows 10 does not boot and the download is spinning, most likely, updates are simply installed in the system. Such a state may even last for several hours, and the progress bar icon may not appear.

Windows 10 Boot Recovery Methods

All software failures due to which Windows 10 does not turn on can be solved using an integrated approach. We recommend doing the following. If one of them fails to repeat, move on to another, and so on until you solve the problem.

Remove blue screen on reboot

You can often find the case when Windows 10 takes a very long time to load, and as a result. The screen shows a message that a reboot is required, but every time after turning it on again, the problem repeats.

To fix the error, follow these steps:

• Check the boot order in BIOS. Perhaps the system first launches the boot utility for the second OS installed on the computer;
• Disconnect as many peripheral gadgets as possible from the device - keyboard, mouse, speakers, gamepad, and so on. Restart your PC;
• Turn off your laptop and remove its battery. If you are using a desktop computer, we recommend cleaning the cooler. Often the cause of the blue screen of death at startup is a severe overheating of the processor.

In the event that the computer does not boot into Windows 10 and you do not remember what actions were performed before the problem appeared, try to force a reboot. In 90% of cases, this method helps to solve a one-time system bug.

Click on the "Power" button to start the OS. In the first few seconds after turning on (before the Windows splash screen appears), press the key ESC . The Boot Options window will appear on the screen. In it, open the "Advanced Options" - "Download Options" field and click on "Restart" at the bottom.

As a result of the action, the system will start automatic analysis and troubleshooting in the background. The computer will be turned on.

Notice! This method will only work if the crash was caused by a one-time fatal error in the game or program. If the cause of the problem is the failure of updates or virus software, a forced reboot will not help.

Disconnecting the network card patch cord

If you are faced with the fact that a black screen appears and Windows 10 does not load, the cause of this bug may be an unsuccessful attempt to connect to the Internet. The system may be trying to install automatic updates, or one of the installed programs requires a network connection.

You can solve the problem by disconnecting the patch cord (Internet cable). If you are using a wireless connection, unplug the router WiFi and restart your computer.

Starting in safe mode

Safe Mode is a special OS boot option with which you can turn on Windows even after a serious failure. The system turns on with a minimum set of running programs and devices.

Windows 10 won't boot after update, you need to enable safe mode. Follow instructions:

• Using a different computer, download the image from Microsoft Windows 10 which matches your build (for example, Home Edition, Professional, Enterprise and so on);
• Create a Windows boot disk using a disk or USB - drive and programs Live CD, Alcohol or Daemon Tools;

Attention! If you already have a Windows installation disk 10 skip the first two steps.

• Change the boot queue in the BIOS by putting your bootable media first. The order in which the rest of the modules are loaded is unimportant;
• Save the changes, turn off the computer and connect the flash drive (disk). Click on the "Power" button;
• As a result of loading the PC, the Windows 10 installation window will appear. In it, click on the "System Restore" field, as shown in the figure below;

• In the window that opens, select "Command Prompt";

• In the line, enter the command bcdedit / set (default) safeboot network - this will allow the next OS boot already in safe mode. In this case, the connection to the network will be maintained.

It remains only to restart the computer. It will automatically enable safe mode. The desktop will appear with a black splash screen.

Now you need to take steps that will solve the problem of a long system startup. First of all, go to the device manager and update the configuration of all connected equipment:

NET services and others).

Go to the "All Settings" window and run the utilities for automatically diagnosing and fixing problems.

After completing the above steps, turn off your PC. Remove the boot drive, change the boot queue in the BIOS (in the first place - the installed OS). Restart your computer. The system should start without braking.

Note that safe mode does not always solve the power-on problem. After trying to start in standard mode, the problem may recur. In this case, we recommend scanning the system with an antivirus that is installed on the boot disk.

Checking your computer for viruses

Despite successful attempts in the fight against viruses, Microsoft developers are still far from success MacOS . Windows malware is still one of the most prevalent in the world.

When viruses are detected, a package with updates comes to the computer within 1-2 days, which can fix the problem. If you disabled the automatic update function or your computer was infected before the release of services that destroy the virus, you need to remove the malware yourself.

Even if the Windows 10 system does not boot, you can still create a boot disk with a portable version of the antivirus. Do it with a flash drive, another computer, a program Live CD and a portable anti-virus program installer.

We recommend using Dr. Web, Norton Avast or Kapersky. Their portable builds work great with malicious files that affect the Windows bootloader.

Follow instructions:

• After creating a boot disk, go to the BIOS menu on your computer and change the boot queue so that the first place is not the operating system, but USB;
• Now connect the flash drive to the device and restart the computer;
• As a result of switching on, an antivirus window will appear on the screen;

• Open the built-in scanner and run a detailed scan of all system files. It is not recommended to use a quick scan, as it almost never accesses bootloader data and does not detect problems. The procedure can take up to an hour. It all depends on the number of files in the system and the performance of your computer.

After detecting infected files, delete them (if you do not need them) or click on the "Cure" button if these files are part of the system directory or standard programs.

We also recommend checking with an antivirus and free space on your hard drive. Windows 10 often fails to boot after a lack of memory is detected. Remove apps you don't use. IN Dr. web You can open the memory cleaning mode using the "Tools" tab.

Restoring from a system backup

If you previously backed up your operating system, you can back up Windows 10 to fix the power-on problem. All your settings, installed programs, and files that were created after the backup was saved will be deleted. At the same time, you will get a fully working system.

Boot Disk Needed Windows 10 and open the "Recovery" tab. In the window that appears, select "System Image Recovery".

It is important that the date of the backup coincides with the date of normal operation of the system. Otherwise, the error will repeat. Click on the "Next" button to start the recovery process. The computer may restart several times, and on average, after 15-20 minutes, the desktop will turn on.

Reset Windows 10

The last and most effective way to solve the error is to completely reset the system, that is, roll it back to its original state. The disadvantage of this method is that no data will be saved. You will receive an absolutely "clean" copy of the operating system.

Follow instructions:

• Start the boot disk;
• Click on "Install";
• In the window that opens, click on "Delete everything";

• Now click on the "Reset" key and wait for the action to complete. The computer will restart automatically.

If, after a restore or reset, you are again faced with a slow boot of your computer, the cause of the breakdown is a hardware malfunction. We recommend contacting a service center for assistance.

Now you know how to solve the download problem Windows 10. Note that the methods discussed above concern only software causes of a malfunction. If the laptop is dropped and the OS stops turning on, or you suspect that there is another hardware failure, contact the service center for professional advice.
