How to fix Windows 10 hangs on the Welcome screen

Earlier this year, Microsoft decided to skip Windows 9 and introduce the latest version of Windows operating system as Windows 10. Windows 10 is said to be the best version of the operating system ever created, but like Like all 'predecessor' operating systems, it also has some problems. One of the most common problems that Windows 10 users often encounter is that the computer hangs on the Welcome screen.

Welcome screen is the interface that Windows 10 users use to log on to the computer through one of the accounts created on it. Anything from a system update error to some other software problem can cause Windows 10 computers to be stuck on the Welcome screen.

Method 2: Disable all connected devices

A common solution to this problem is to disconnect all external devices from the computer such as a mouse, keyboard, speaker, Bluetooth speaker, USB dongle, USB Wi-Fi adapter, etc. When posting enter account, attach keyboard and enter data.

Method 3: Disconnect the Internet

In some cases, an Internet connection may cause problems when the computer continually tries to connect to the Internet without access. Be sure to disconnect from the Internet before continuing to log in.

Method 4: Use USB / CD boot

If all of the above methods cannot fix the problem, you can fix the computer by using a bootable device. If not, get a new DVD / USB disc with enough storage space (larger than 7 GB) and use it to create bootable devices. Note, all content contained therein will be deleted so it is safe to back them up before proceeding.

Step 1: See the article Instructions for creating USB boot with Hiren's BootCD quickly to know how to create a usb boot.

Step 2: After having the USB / CD boot, plug it into the computer and boot. To boot from USB or DVD, you need to access the BIOS and set the priority to boot USB or DVD drive to the highest. This way the computer will boot from the media instead of the current Windows on the hard drive.

Step 3: When the installation window appears, select " Repair your computer " at the bottom left of the screen.

Another reason Windows may hang on the Welcome screen is the corrupted system files on the computer.

Step 1: Insert the installation media into the computer and access Repair mode as above solution.

Step 2: Click " Troubleshoot " and select " Command Prompt " from the next window that appears.

Step 3: Enter the following commands in the Command Prompt and wait until the scan is complete. Note, this process may take some time because it will check all files on the system.

sfc / scannow

chkdsk c: / f / r

bootrec / fixmbr

bootrec / fixboot

bootrec / scanos

bootrec / rebuildbcd

If all of the above solutions are not effective, you can boot into Safe Mode, copy all existing data and reinstall Windows 10.

I wish you all success!
