Saved - Windows 10 launches after many trails

Issue-

Windows 10 not logging in on 24 June 2020. I love the HP and dots rotating before the Windows Login. HP icon and dots were not appearing and login screen also not visible.

Solution:-


Windows 10 actually started fine after 3 trails and no Troubleshoot or Safe Mode was needed. I was planning to launch the Safe Mode.

Story:-


My mobile charge was suddenly down from 20% to 4% after I plugged the charger in(mostly due to current fluctuations in apartment or unknown reason). I thought of searching for a solution on the web on the phone and realized I had to calm down. One link said that Windows reinstall might be needed that was scary, which was definitely not needed for my case. I did believe that I could login though I did not know anything on what is happening. I realized I need to take backup of important data. In old Windows, I could do Safe mode launch using Function key and I tried every Function key and no Safe Mode. I came to know that Windows 10 does not have Function key for Safe mode launch , but can go to Safe Mode automatically after 3 failed attempts of login. After 3rd time of trying to switch off and switch on, I got the Login screen. Thanks to God, Login happened without any issues on 3rd attempt and no Safe Mode needed. I deliberately tried to go to Safe mode with Shift+Power+Restart at the bottom right. I saw an option to to Diagnostics or Startup Repair and I did that and then logged. The Startup Repair may take an hour. I think it to took around 45 minutes for me. I felt saved and I could login just in time to attend a live meeting and do my tasks. I am logging this event in a blog to help another who understands that there is nothing to worry and after 3 attempts to login to Windows with no login screen. As per the article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12376/windows-10-start-your-pc-in-safe-mode, Windows 10 launches with options for Safe mode and not a need to do anything else.

Lessons Learnt:

1. Knowing more on Windows 10 tips /trouble shooting guide can be helpful.
2. Taking backup of important data regularly.
3. Do Performance Check and other tools available from HP

Information has grown too much and I still feel God who knows everything is the only solution during tough times.
