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.
