PC Not starting properly
Hello I restarted my PC a few days ago after installing a driver for something and to update it. It goes to a black screen with a loading symbol on the bottom but no windows logo. I got it into recovery mode several times to try some stuff from yt but nothing worked. I then went back to the loading screen and left it there, and after a while it was just a black screen with a mouse. I leave it like that but nothing happens, so I restart it again and ever since its just been booting into recovery mode when i try to turn it on. I am considering completely reinstalling windows since resetting didn't work, but I want to see if anyone has a different approach.

also i cant like get into the normal widnows interface and safe mode doesn't work either
Was it graphics driver? Likely a wrong or corrupt driver
yeah i think that needs me to log inot windows which i cant do
no, it was a driver for some xp pen thing
Can you reformat from recovery? May be best option
Avoid drivers that aren't from hardware manufacturers website
it was from manufatures website btw
and how? i basically treid every option in recovery but nothing worked
Reinstalling
Make sure to have drivers for your specific hardware
which one i press on?
also fyi my pc doesn't have the one in left middle
System restore if you have a backup
i dont ๐
i just started using the pc so i dont have onne yet
You'll need an install windows media
how?
You can download off of microsoft.com, you'll need your CD key for the windows license
like reinstall windows right?

yeah, thats what i was gonna do but i asked here to see if anyone has any different ideas but thx ig
Someone else might know, sorry ๐ญ
If you can't even run safe mode im not sure
alr thx np
you can try uninstall updates but i think your system is just cooked
do you know how your system borked itself
i tried that but it said failed
wym?
like what were you doing that caused a BSOD?
i installed a driver for an xp pen (which i had to return bec its broken) and it asked me to restart after it installed so i did and along the way it installed some updates and it was stuck on a black screen with loading on the bottom but no windows logo.
i got it into recovery mode and tried to use safe mode and it didn't work
so went back to the loading screen and left it a little
and then it went to black screen with nothing but the cursor
i left it a few hours but nothing happened, so i restarted it and ever since that it just boots into recovery mode
i tried a bunch of stuff on yt but nothing works literally nothing in recovery mode works
oof im sorry to hear that
yea when installing updates you need to be pretty careful
thx
....looking to reinstall windowsdo this potentially, will save time and effort
any sugestions tho?
best solution?
yea anytime you're installing updates just let it finish
there's no reason not to let it finish
i thought it was finished
you mentioned you have XP pen?
yeah i think it broke the system
anyway speaking in general if you are operating a Huion pen tab, there's a rumour it has malware
which is why im returning it
and not buying it again
speak for yourself i use a huion :Biancasip:
i mean its the offical xp pen brand so...
cheap pen tabs are always speculative
you should see reviews from people who bought it
i did when the pc broke but i didn't see anything specific to the issue i had
i think bec the xp pen i got was used, it might have been broken and seller all along just said nothing
when its about drivers all you should do is cross fingers, and reinstall windows
๐ good point
i was getting bsod the moment i downloaded 2 "wrong" touch pad drivers at the same time before removing the latter
memory controller stop codes and kernal security check failure
what did u do to fix it
i reinstalled windows and downloaded proprietary drivers i had on my drive in order, and its been very good since
also removed and reseated ram and ssd
also creating a "windows snapshot" might help
similar to linux timeshift, helps to rollback to the previous working state of windows
in simple terms
ig reinstalling widnows is my best hope
good luck
thx
Restarting during windows update can brick it till reinstall, its nail bitingily long sometimes
yo
I tried to reinstall windows
and it just goes to a black screen withh loading
any ideas?
I left my pc loading overnight and it still loading
@pls hire me I tried reinstalling windows but it just goes to the loading screen with no windows logo and i left it on for hours and even overnight and its still just loading so if u know anything that would be great
hey did you check your ram ? if there is dust on the ram stick , if yes then put them out and clean them wih an eraser and tru it
this is a laptop my dude
show a photo/video?
is it still going?
what step is it on? you'll know immediately if you're doing it right
pc*
yep i left it overnight for the second time and still nothing
its just loading like that the whole day
that's not a windows 11 loading window
it looks like you didn't do the install properly
find a tutorial online for how to do it, it'll be really obvious when you're doing it right
I use windows 10?
@pls hire me I think u got this wrong
I use school computer with windows 11 but my pc has windows 10
doesn't make a difference, follow a tutorial to install windows 10
or windows 11 if you want to upgrade since win10 is deprecated this month
if i had to guess you did the install incorrectly and broke your computer, but you're literally trying to fix this by installing windows
either 10 or 11 doesn't matter which
actually, I already reinstalled windows
and just so u know I had my dad help instead of doing it myself and i looked at a vid and he did the same thing so idk
i did win 10 cuz before it crashed it said hardware requirments not met
