Spinning circle at login won't log me in. Windows 8 Toshiba, now Windows 10?

Question

I  opened my laptop one day and once I typed in my password, it took me to this black screen where I only could see my mouse. I could hit ctrl alt del and task manager would not pop up after hitting it, my computer wouldn't restart or shut down. I let it sit and when I came back I opened it up again and the login screen where I type my password was already loading with the spinning circle even when I did not enter anything. It's been sitting loading overnight and all day and nothing has happened. I turned it off by hitting the button and I clicked all kinds of buttons but nothing would work. Ctrl alt delete doesn't work and the only button that does is the power button. Mouse still works though. I thought letting the computer die instead of shutting it off since I couldn't click the button. It went back to that loading login. I even removes the battery and put it back in. It still went back to the loading circle. It happened the 27th at about 3:20 est. At first it was a black screen when I turned it on and at about 7 or 8 it did what the picture looks like, lost the spinning circle. It's stayed like this for 2 days. The only thing done was that we never really turned it off. We kinda closed all the programs and closed the computer, it hasn't been turned off in a while unless it dies. I also can't get the boot menu button to work.  I just really want to know what's going on and how I can fix it without spending money on someone to come by and look at it. Please help me and ty!

We are M$. Resistance is futile. Your puters and lappies will adapt to service us. We will add your technology to our own. M$ has announced that Windows is NOT a top priority. Pushing people to use the cloud and mobile has become their main focus now. Now the truth about 10 is coming out.

It was pretty good at first, but after a while I ran into some problems. That seems to be a reoccurring theme. Windows 10 has forced updates and they can install anything they want anytime they want, including new drivers. The problems you're experiencing are probably from M$ installing a security update that didn't work correctly, or worse, a driver that does not belong on your lappy.

You might try reset. This will put it back to the beginning but there is no guarantee that the problems will not return, sorry.

Since you can not get past the spinning circle of death then you will have to make a bootable thumb drive to do the reset. If you upgraded to or have 10 you can create a install/repair thumb drive with the link below. This will allow you to try to repair 10 first and if that does not work do a fresh install. Make sure you have a good product key and all the drivers before starting a fresh install. Keep in mind if it has been less then 30 days since you downgraded to 10 this might prevent you from upgrading to your original OS.

The link below will show you how to do the reset. I strongly recommend that you back up everything you have before doing this. This will also require all the updates to be reloaded but if you turn off drivers being installed by M$ you stand a better chance of the problem not returning.

After running reset use the link below to turn off Windows update installing drivers.

If you turn off M$ updating your drivers you will have to get them at the manufacture site, which is better for you.

What you are experiencing is the TRUE JOY of Windows 10.

With Windows 10, M$ owns your system.
YOU can no longer pick the updates you want installed.
THEY can choose which drivers are installed.
THEY can choose what THEY want on your system.
THEY even installed a backdoor in it so THEY can SPY on you at all times.

M$ has issued two major updates trying to fix ALL the bugs 10 has and have failed miserably at it. Those who try to defend this will tell you that 10 user have been given two free upgrades to a whole new OS. They even try to claim that you now have Windows 12 and not 10. LOL I can't make this stuff up, they really say that. It even gets funnier. They are now trying to convince us that Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 is the same as 10. Those who are so blinded by their loyalty to M$ are trying to claim that the previous OS came with the same spyware built into it to. I swear it, I can not make this stuff up, they really do say these things. LOL I know for a fact that I could refuse updates on the previous OSes. I also know that Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 DID NOT have telemetry data as 10 does until M$ install it after the release of 10. Look for these updates and see if you have them. KB 3068708 KB 3022345 KB 3075249 KB 3080149 These updates give 7 and 8 the same spying capability as 10 has. Before this Windows had Customer Experience Improvement which you could opt out of. Then M$ decided it needed to force spyware down our throats with the release of 10 and the updates to 7, 8, and 8.1. I guess they decided allowing someone to participate was not profitable enough for them. That means there is more to it then just telemetry data. The data being sent back contains a lot more then the very basic info. It has data that can be sold and increase the profit margin for M$. Bill everything but admitted it in a interview when he took the side of the FBI against Apple.

M$ is pushing 10 hard because it means a big increase in their profit margarine when they sell the info they collect on you. That is why it is FREE. They have seen the profits that the smart phone makers are raking in by spying on their user so M$ decided to emulate that and cripple the desktops, laptops so they can do the same. That's why they built a back door in it so you can stop the OS with a firewall from phoning home. They spend years coping anything that Apple did. Hence we got Windows 8. Now they are going copy the smart phone industry and and force everyone to use APP.

To show how bad Windows 10 really is, take a look at the chart below. They have been giving it away for free for over 9 months. It has been install on all the new systems that are sold. It only has a little less then 13% of the OS market share, LOL it is in a neck and neck with XP, 8. That speaks volumes on just how bad 10 really is.

I find that people who are blinded by loyalty to M$ know little about Windows 10 and the spyware in it. They base their opinion on second hand knowledge and propaganda spread by M$

Hello! Sorry to hear about your troubles with your computer. The issues you are experiencing with your computer can be related to a number of issues. Some of the things I have seen cause this problem are a failing hard drive, malware, or an incomplete software update that may have failed. This issue can be difficult to diagnose with out actually running diagnostic test to rule out failing hardware. Then if you can boot into the Advanced Boot Options for Windows I would try a system roll back to a known good date that the machine was working, or even a system refresh. If you have important data on the machine and do not have the resources to do a data backup (usually a secondary computer with an adapter to connect an internal hard drive) I would be careful trying to perform a repair as it could lead to data loss. If this is not something you feel comfortable doing I would suggest taking your computer to a qualified repair center to have it looked at.

Good Luck

I think you should go to the expense of data recovery services and get as much critical files as you can before it's too late. It looks like your laptop hard drive is almost dead. Well, try to call ACE Data Recovery for free evaluation. Just to know what's wrong with the hd.
