boot screen

I installed Windows 11. Runs fine no problems. Except when it boots up it goes directly to screen that shows users no Windows Logo Screen? What would cause that?

Hey everyone. Yesterday, (30th August) I decided to do a fresh install of Windows 10 after I noticed that there was loads of viruses on the operating system. How did I reinstall it? I went onto Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC. After doing so, I left the computer doing...

hey i think my hard drive windows is corrupted. I can't get past the initial boot screen. i tried running chkdsk and it said nothing was wrong. im running windows off a usb in the mean time to try and fix the problem. i have no system restore points so cant do that.

So I had win7 32 bit on my machine, then I installed the 64 bit version. I don't think the 32 bit install ever got removed, because after I upgraded to 10 it began taking me to the dual boot screen on startup. Now I can't delete the 20gb of windows 7 files off my ssd (it won't let me- says that...

Hello everyone, this is my first post on these forums. Recently I decided to dual boot Windows 8.1 with Linux Mint 17.1. While everything works fine, the boot screen sometimes appears corrupted. It's basically just random colored distorted lines. This doesn't really affect boot-up except from...

I have an older tower running W8.1 update 1 and Wxp - each OS is on a separate hard drive, when I boot the computer I get the choice of booting to W8.1 or earlier OS. I am now ready to remove the XP drive and delete all the information, my question is: Is there a proper method to remove the...

I set up a dual boot on a 500 GB SSD. Cloned Windows 7 from a smaller SSD then installed Windows 8 on a second partition. It takes a full 60 seconds to reach the dual boot screen. It then loads very quickly. Here is what I've done to try and correct the problem: 1. Refreshed windows 8 2. removed...

When I boot my Win7 system then the Boot Screen (where I can press ESC resp F2 to enter the BIOS) appears only for a couple of MILLIseconds. This is too short. Even worse: Sometimes the Boot Screen is completely not visible any more. How can I tell the system to show this Boot Screen...

Hello I am using w7 ultimate with a GT 9600 Nvidia GPU, connected to a samsung 22" wide screen via a HDMI cable, when I boot up the OS loads the startup screen in the old Vista format instead of the new W7 screen. It appears that my issue is the initial low resolution output via the HDMI cable...

My Windows 7 came with a minimal boot screen that only shows bars going across (like XP but without logo). I opened msconfig to see if the No GUI boot was selected, but it wasn't. I tried change the boot screen with Win7BootUpdater, but that didn't work, either. Could somebody suggest anything...

I had to reformat my Win 8 DP partition and then restore from an Image I had created. When I did this I lost the fancy new Win 8 DP Boot Screen (boot loader). I did have to go into Win 7 and use EasyBCD to add my Win 8 DP OS to the MBR, but the boring old Win 7 boot screen comes up, even when I...

In the leaked build 7989, some of the developers at Microsoft's had some fun with the boot screen, making a quick copy/paste job of the beta fish we came to know and love in Windows 7. Link Removed It's a cheesy job, but a good laugh. Also notable is that the crossword puzzle seen in previous...

At this moment I have a dual boot system with 2 Windows 7 installations on 1 HDD. Windows 7 is on the C-drive and on the K-drive. There's also an E-drive voor data. These are all partitions of one HDD. I like to change my installation in a dual boot system divided over two seperate HDD's. I...

Ok, I caused it but I am wondering if anybody ever heard of this and if I can change it back. I am running windows 7 and I booted into safe mode to do a sfc /scannow. I was having another small issue and thought that I would just do that to check if it would fix it. After I rebooted I got a...

Customizing the Windows boot screen is something that Microsoft has never made easy. The fact that the images involved are hardcoded into system files is enough to put off all but the most seasoned of tweakers. More...

I just bought Win 7 Home Premium OEM today, and a 1TB Samsung hard drive on which to install Win 7. The Windows install process went smoothly, but now when I start my PC, it does not give me the boot screen to choose Win 7 or XP. I had the RC installed before, and everything was fine. Any ideas...

So, I have a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installation on my desktop. It is a fairly new computer, and I know that hardware is not the problem. I've noticed that when I leave my computer on, whether for a few hours or overnight, when I next see it, it's powered off. PLEASE do not ask me to look at...

I don't know whether this is the right place to ask this question but here goes: I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a notebook which previously ran Vista. No problems there ..... I've now installed Ubuntu (now updated to 10.04) so that it can boot to either OS. It all works fine and when I...

Sometimes, after using start-up repair, restoring from back, etc, the Windows 7 boot screen may change to the default Vista progress bar.. Fortunately, there is a very easy solution. Firstly, open Command Prompt as an admin. Now type bcdedit /set {current} locale en-CA (where en-CA) is your...

I used Fix It Utilities to scan the registry for errors. It repaired the errors but then I realized I lost all of my installed programs in the add remove section of the control panel. I tried to reinstall Windows 7 but the reinstall was unsuccessful. Windows told me it was going to revert back...
