[Irishcolleen1102]

I have tried everything and can't get windows 10 to boot on my Dell Notebook after I did the most recent update. HELP, PLEASE!

Try the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off.
4. Repeat this process a few times until you see the "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen.
5. Now you want to let the laptop boot to the "Automatic Repair" screen.
6. Click "Advanced Options" and then select "Troubleshoot".
7. Here you want to select "Refresh your PC", if you do not wish to erase data, or "Reset your PC" to erase all data and restore your system.
8. From here just follow the screen instructions until the recovery is completed.

NOTE: You will need to get into the "Advanced Options" in order to get the "Refresh Option". This choice will keep your data, but any programs installed will be lost.

Do not do a "Reset" as that will wipe all data you have on the laptop.

I have done this and actually left it, overnight. When I go back to check it, the circle is still turning after 12-15 hours of waiting. Any more suggestions, please?

Try doing it again, but make sure you aren't connected to the internet when doing so. It is possible the computer keeps checking for a fix to the update.

Tried it again without being connected to the internet. It's still doing the same thing. Any other suggestions, please?

When you tried the first instructions I gave, did you do this a 'few' times (can be 3 or more times) before it works.

I'll try a few more times and get back with you. What would the next step be if it doesn't work?

A restore of the system, which would lose your data, so I would avoid that if possible. Unless someone else out there has another idea.
