use whichever method works in link access advanced startup options

 

if none of other methods work may necessary create windows 10 installation media  on pc.  media provides stable way booted repairs , allows if necessary doing vastly superior  clean install windows 10.

 

insert media, boot powering pc while pressing bios boot menu key, choose boot device uefi device if offered, on second screen choose repair computer.

 

in advanced troubleshooting options try system restore point before problems began, startup repair, if necessary startup settings try safe mode networking, or lastly safe mode.  if startup settings aren't available can force safe mode command prompt using commands here in how enter windows 10's safe mode.

 

from safe mode w/networking work through windows 10 install integrity checklist. 

 

if safe mode doesn’t work or stabilize things then return advanced troubleshoot options.   next try command prompt  run windows 10 install integrity checklist repair commands including sfc /scannow see if repair, or return troubleshoot options to reset windows 10 pc.   reinstall os while saving files sheds crippling bloatware. 

 

better yet vastly superior  clean install windows 10  following steps in link delete partitions down unallocated space cleanest.  after install reactivate product key, automatically embedded product key if factory install or if free upgrade has activated has permanent digital entitlement.  activation in windows 10 - windows help.  

   

    an alternative run factory recovery it’s  hotkey @ boot; find yours googling “pc make/model + run factory recovery” or refer standard  factory recovery methods.   keep in mind factory install inferior clean install or reset without crippling factory bloatware.    after recovery mitigate inferior factory install checklist steps earlier.

 

feel free ask questions , keep posted on how goes.
