Stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

Hello,
For some reason, my laptop graphics display shut down earlier today. So, I tried the shut down my laptop (thinking that it was just overheating from work) and let it cool down. I tried to start it up a bit later and it would not start up. It just stayed on the Starting Windows screen.
I have attempted to get in through safe mode. This works. To an extent. Safe Mode with networking does NOT work.
System Restore does NOT work
Check Disk does NOT work
System Repair does NOT work
bootsect does NOT work
I have resolved myself to the fact that I may need to do a full recovery on it. HOWEVER, I have important files for work and school that I MUST keep. Some of it is backed up, some of it is not. The more recent stuff is what is NOT backed up. That is what I need most.
I have a System Recovery DVD that I ordered from HP a few months back. Now, my question is... Will this allow me to do a NON-DESTRUCTIVE Recovery? I desperately need these files.
Safe mode will not allow me to do a backup to my External Harddrive. It won't even RECOGNIZE or ATTEMPT to recognize my external.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
There is no option for a non-destructive recovery using recovery discs, however you could try either of the options below to see if you can retrieve your data.
1. Mount the HDD in an external caddy, connect this to another PC and see if this will allow you to read the drive.
2. Another possible way to try and retrieve your files from a non-booting drive is to follow the process detailed in the link below. The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) and I've often found it to be successful in retrieving data even from a failing Hard Drive. When you've created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your existing files.

Cannot install Windows 7 Pro; gets stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

I have read dozens of posts on this topic but none has helped yet.
My system has Windows 8 with UEFI. I want to install Windows 7 Pro on another partition. I have turned off Secure Boot in the UEFI/BIOS. When I try to install Windows 7 Pro from a DVD it shows "windows is loading files" and then gets stuck on "Starting Windows"
for ever. This happens even when no USB peripherals are attached.
I have already wasted many days on this. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

Hi friends of the internet
I have been reading several forums regarding the issue of installing windows 7 (64 bit) to a computer that have had windows 8 installed previously or just a GPT formatted disk.
My Case:
Windows version installed: Windows 7 Professional N with Service Pack 1 (x64) or Windows 7 Professional (x64)
Computer used: Samsung laptop
Model Code: NP53U4C-A02SE
See the specks here:
http://www.samsung.com/dk/consumer/computer-peripherals/notebook/notebook/NP535U4C-A02SE-spec
Create a USB install disk that not freezes at ”starting windows” screen:
First I followed this great guide (Thanks Daniel):
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
STOP AFTER STEP 13!
1. Open a command line in administrator mode
2. run DISKPART
3. type LIST DISK
4. Look for the disk number that represents your USB drive
5. type SELECT DISK # where # represents the number of your USB drive. Get this right or you will wipe a different drive out.
6. type CLEAN
7. type CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
8. type SELECT PARTITION 1
9. type ACTIVE
10. type FORMAT fs=fat32 quick
11. type assign
12. The drive should now be formatted and marked as active and fat32. Do not format the drive as NTFS or you will only be able to boot into the installer in BIOS mode.
13. Now you will need to copy the contents of the windows 7 install dvd to the USB with a regular copy paste from windows explorer.
Here comes a very weird hack... I do not know why it works, but I think it is all about flash drive data structure. I did these steps on a win 7 prof. computer.
(Let’s assume it’s drive E:)
Make a copy of your e:\efi\microsoft folder to e.g. your desktop.
Delete the e:\efi folder
Copy the \efi folder from a windows 8 installation disk (I used Windows 8 (x64) Professional) to the e:\efi folder. Sorry I cannot provide this for you.
Here comes the weird part. Then delete e:\efi\microsoft you just copied from the win 8 installation disk.
Copy the \microsoft folder form the desktop to e:\efi\microsoft
Resume the guide from step 18.:
http://
hodgin.ca/2012/10/02/creating-a-uefibios-windows-7-usb-and-installing-to-gpt-partitions/
18. Insert the USB in the machine and turn it on and boot into the UEFI/BIOS loader and check for boot options. On the ASUS Zenbook it detected two boot options on the USB drive. One was UEFI and one was regular BIOS. I made the
UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
My bios setup was:
Secure Boot = Disable
OS Mode Selection = CSM and UEFI OS
Boot Device Priority = I made the UEFI option the first choice and restarted the machine.
The installation should start normal.
E.g. See this guide:
www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/186875-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-7-a.html
What I did was:
Select custom installation (Advanced).
Click Drive options (Advanced).
Delete all partitions (this might not be needed). When I did not delete all partitions I was asked every time after the install, during start up by the windows boot manager to select ether win 8 or win 7.
Click new (DO NOT make Changes in the size of the disk), apply, see NOTE!
Edit the Primary partition as you want it e.g. divide it to more partitions.
Select the one you will install windows on and do a normal install.
I do not make changes in the Bios after install. The Boot priority is automatic set to “Windows boot manager”. If I change the boot mode back to OS Mode Selection = UEFI OS, the computer will freeze at the “starting windows” screen again.
All this worked for me, good luck. There might be more to it, but this is a start.
By the way, the start up time for a MBT install was 37 s. And for the GPT it was 49 s.
Remember if we stand on each other’s shoulders we will reach higher
J.
NOTE: Here the installation program should create three partitions automatically!
Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.
If this isn’t the cast you are not installing in UEIF mode. To check for this (thanks again Daniel):
If you need to find out if you have booted into BIOS mode or UEFI mode when the installer starts you can press SHIFT+F10 when the welcome installer shows up to open a cmd prompt. from here you will likely be at X:\Sources. Type cd .. to
go back a dir and move into \Windows\Panther\
Then type notepad setupact.log
Within this file do a ctrl+f and search for
Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment:
It should either say BIOS or UEFI.
To check if your disk is in the GPT format.
Open the command prompt.
Type: DISKPART
Type: List Disk
See for the star (*) in the GPT column

Trying to load windows onto new hard drive from usb, stuck at "starting windows" screen

So I am actually down grading from windows 8 pro to windows 7 pro both 64. I was finally able to get the comp to not only recongize, but load from the usb. My problem is that when it does start up, I get stuck at the "Starting windows" screen. I was wondering maybe I need to format a patition first? It is a new warranty hard drive from Lenovo. (Kind of funny how that send only cds for a laptop that has no cd drive) I looked into formatting from a usb, have had some trouble finding a reliable way.....thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi davefromsb,
Windows 8 computers come with a "UEFI" bios and therefore will come with "Secure Boot" as well as "UEFI Only" booting enabled. Disable secure boot if you haven't already, and switch the booting method to "Legacy Only". The problem is most likely that the Windows 7 image that was burned to the USB stick was burned using a MBR partition scheme instead of a GPT one. Hope this helps.

HP ProBook 4440s stuck on starting windows screen

Hello Everyone,
I am in desperate need of help!! I have a HP ProBook 440s laptop which was working perfectly fine on Friday. Now today on Monday when I turn on the computer it gives me 2 options because it says Windows failed to start.....1) launch startup repair (recommended) or to start windows normally. When I choose to to do the system repair it says loading files and when done a box pops up and says " The exception unknown software exception (0x40000015) occurred in the application at location 0x40161651 and then says click on OK to terminate the program. After I click ok, it says the installed program cannot start and to click ok to turn off the computer. Then back to square 1 with turning on the computer with my 2 options mentioned above. If I try to start windows normally then it will just stay stuck on the starting windows screen. I have tried hitting F8 to try and launch windows in safe mode the screen will just say loading window files and please wait at the bottom....but it will just stay stuck on this screen with nothing happening even after 45 minutes!!! All I want to do is to be able to access my pictures that I failed to backup! I am ok with getting a new laptop, but just desperately need a way to get my pictures off this laptop!! Any help will definitely definitely be needed and appreciated!!! Thank you so much in advance!!!

Hi,
Take out the hard drive, connect it to another PC using SATA to USB adapter. Using Windows Explorer in that PC, copy everything you need to salvage to another external drive.
Manual - Page 62-64 for procedure on taking out the drive:
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/manualsResults/?sp4ts.oid=522948...
Which is the operating system installed?
Do you have recovery media or installation discs?
Please test the hard drive - quick & extensive tests from BIOS: tap f2 as soon as you power on laptop to get into System Diagnostics. Complete the tests.

Windows seven stuck at starting windows screen and never works

hi, so my pc was running just fine until one day when i tried to turn my pc on it was just stuck on the starting windows screen, i even left it on overnight and all day to see if it would work and it didnt. so i have no idea how to fix it. its windows
7 home premium, and is hp pavilion g laptop with intel i3 processer. i have searched through forums and nothing has helped to make it work it just never runs its stuck there forever and i cant access anything on that pc

Hi,
First, you can try to repair your Windows 7 systems to login:
Restart Computer and continue to click F8, you would enter into WIN RE, choose the
repair computer option--->System Recovery Optionsà Select the
Startup Repair option. Then Startup Repair will now scan your computer to attempt to find and fix any startup problems.
After repair computer, I would suggest you to put the computer in Clean Boot and check which non Microsoft program is causing the issue. To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot." A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Finally, after you fix it up, you can make
Steps for Normal startup:
1. Click
Start, and then click Run.
2. Type
msconfig, and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility dialog box is displayed.
3. Click the
General tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services, and then click
OK.
4. When you are prompted, click
Restart to restart the computer.
You may also install the latest display drivers and device drivers compatible for Windows 7.

Stuck at "Starting Windows" screen

Starting Mac with Windows for the first time. How long does it usually take? I've been stuck at the "Starting Windows" screen for an hour. I realize its not too long since Im installing a new operating system, but just in case its supposed to take a lot less time I decided I'd post this. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Do you mean that you're unable to logon to Windows no matter via normal start or safe mode, and startup repair doesn't work with the disk?

Stuck at 'Starting Windows' screen! Help please :(

Hello guys and girls.
I have a problem with an Acer Aspire 8920 laptop.
To start off with the back light on the screen was the first issue. After turning the laptop on the screen would turn off. I would close the lid and open it again and the screen would light up as normal and then after a few seconds it would go off again.
I wasn't sire at first what it was so I plugged it into the telly via HDMI and that was fine. I looked closely and I could see very faintly windows had loaded fine. After that I knew it was the backlight.
Eventually after more research I bought a new inverter off the web. Few days later it arrived and I replaced it. It solved the issue but has caused a couple more.
I get stuck at the starting windows screen no matter what I do. I have a copy of W7 on a disc, on USB and if I try and load up W7 as normal. If I try and boot in safe mode it always gets stuck at 'Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\avgidsha.sys' every time.
Also after replacing the inverter the brightness of the screen now 'pulses'. Thats the best way I can describe it. When it does pulse it doesn't go off completely, just a little brighter and darker.
I have looked online and found that people were getting stuck at the same place and the cause of that was a power supple issue with custom built PCs. I think that maybe I might have a the same problem because of this new inverter?
Any input would be great into this. I appreciate your help.
Thank you!

In the boot up process my computer is stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen. What do I do?

My computer is stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen. I can't get it to boot up. What do I do?

try tapping f8 as it powers up and see if you can get into safe mode. When presented with this problem I usually boot the laptop from a technician's disk and run a preboot environment version of Windows, then do a chkdsk; /r on the primary hard drive. 60-70% of the time that fixes it. You can also run the chkdsk: /r from safe mode if you can get there.

Windows 7 freezing at 'Starting Windows' screen. (GX620)

I had been running Windows 7 since June '09 with no problems. Recently, every time I start windows it gets stuck on the 'starting windows' screen. I've tried reformatting, reinstalling with different versions of Windows 7 and different discs. I've tried swapping the memory and the hard-drive. I've updated the bios.
What is going on? Please help.

I am having this same issue and was wondering if you came up with a solution.
Even when I try to reinstall a fresh copy of Windows 7 the computer locks up after the installation of the initial files. Then I'm left with a useless barely-installed new system so I am forced to go back to the original one that doesn't work anyway. Safe mode works just fine, but I can't work in Safe Mode all the time.

Stuck at "Starting Windows" after Deployment

Hello. I recently updated my MDT to 2013 as well as added the Windows assessment and deployment kit for Windows 8.1. Since then, I have one particular .wim image that I can't seem to deploy using MDT. It continuously gets stuck at "Starting Windows"
after it's first reboot from the deployment window. I have enabled logging and see this error appear quite often, but I'm not sure if that helps. I can provide the logs if needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates

HP m8430f stuck on "Starting Windows" after April 10, 2012 Microsoft Updates. Upgraded to Windows 7 X64 from Vista X64 almost two years ago. Have never had any problems until morning of April 12th. I will cut to the final resolution to help anyone else who is going through this or will in the future. After trying to repair Win7, restoring back to factory recovery (got code purple), installing clean Vista 64 and trying upgrade to Windows 7 again, formatting drive using /p:2 option of writing 0's twice to whole drive and then doing a clean install of Win7 only to get to the same place of being stuck at "Starting Windows", I tried a trick I had read about. Boot to safe mode, you will get an error that you can complete install from safe mode. Don't close window but hit Shift-F10 and a cmd prompt will open. Type in compmgmtlauncher and choose Device Manager. Disable the Visx PureTV-U 48B0 under Sound, Video and Game controllers. Reboot computer and Win7 complete installation. Since I was able to get into Safe mode back on April 12th, I should have tried disabling everything then, but since it was working without problems before the updates, I couldn't believe that it was any of the devices. I have not been able to get around this issue with the tv-tuner, but I don't have a need for it right now for it. I saw a tip to try moving it to another pci slot and I will try that if I ever have a need to open the computer. Just wanted to document what to do to save others weeks of searching. If this is a driver issue, I can't believe HP or Windows hasn't come up with a more current driver. During all of the installs, I never get a yellow triangle for that device or any indication in Event log or anywhere that there was a problem with this device.

I had a similar issue with mine not working properly running Windows 7 Ultimate.   Mine was working just fine for quite some time and then I moved my system into our TV room and hooked it up to the television, and used it there.   Everything worked fine, I then returned it to the normal location but did not plug the IR sensor back in.
I had issues with it, I then plugged it back in and it seemed to be working fine, then started to freeze while we were working on it, it would do this all the time. I was thinking I had virus, I tried restoring windows to a previous working state. Upgrading my Virus software and everything.   This was all back in October 2011. I finally just thought my system was going out after a number of years.
Then the other day for some reason I moved the IR sensor from one plug to the other. It is currently plugged into the bottom right USB port next to the RJ45 port.   It seems to be working just fine now and I don't have the device you suggested disabled, though I will keep that in mind.
Thanks for you post, Hope mine helps too.

R6970 lightning, black screen after starting Windows screen

Alright so I've been getting a few random bsod saying something about non paged error. At first it was random sometimes in Windows sometimes before the login screen. But then it became consistent, couldn't boot to Windows at all after the starting Windows screen it would bsod everytime. So ran memtest and system repair off the disk and found no errors. So then one time I found the bsod showed an error with atikmdag so then I started to look into driver issues. Deleted catalyst, the drivers and then rebooted. Long and behold it booted Windows fine. Once I loaded Windows it said installing device driver for the graphics card, it finished and prompted a reboot. So I did but on start up after the starting Windows screen it just goes black. Will go into safe mode fine but otherwise black. And it will do that with an old driver, new driver, whether I install with catalyst or Windows does it. Switched via bios and no screen at all on any other setting than the middle switch. So grabbed a gtx 650 from my brother and plugged it in and it booted fine, installed the driver and no problems. So is my card shot or is there something I am missing? Do I have a corrupt bios and need to flash it?
Another note it ran games fine and wouldn't crash but when it was just sitting with Google Chrome and a few tabs is when it started having problems.
