    Long shot and I am probably going to have to take it to a specialist, however thought I would check here 1st.

    I bought a laptop on finance about a year ago and fir the last 4 months I have not been able to sign in. When I try sign in it try to load into the sign in page at the beginning, but just keeps loading. The screen then starts flashing on and off. It looks like it is trying to sign into windows 10 but just doesn't get past this stage at all.


    P.S I have tried to sign in a couple times in the past 4 months, not been trying constantly.

    It might still be under warranty I'd call the supplier and explain what's happening

    If the laptop is new this could be probably be fixed fairly quickly.

    I would have to see it for myself, but if its a corrupted profile or installation.

    I would:

    - Make a bootable usb that can partition the hard drive

    - Make a partition to install a new installation of windows, while keeping all personal files etc on other partition to move over later

    - Install windows as new on fresh partition, do all updates, then move all files over from old drive.

    If you're not tech savy I know that probably sounds difficult but if you show it to someone who knows their way around a PC they'll have you sorted, rather than getting ripped off by a shop.
