I've uninstalled the NVidia drivers from safe mode as a last resort. No dice. I'm Going to have to try a restore or reinstall.
It does come up just fine in safe mode with networking so I can offload anything important before I put a proverbial bullet in its head
I'm back to the spinning cursor on display two. Sporadic and heavy disk activity so it's not totally dead. Some feedback would be wonderful
Can no longer enter rescue mode because Windows insists on running their scan and repair (that hangs at 100 percent) before continuing.
chkdsk reports no problem from the rescue image. Rebooting. Now windows is running it again where it will no doubt hang at 100 percent again.
Microsoft: The only company on Earth to make a less intuitive and informative tool than fsck.
@kdfrawg It's laziness and poor design. Had to go umpteen levels deep in the F8 menu to enable safe mode. (Boots fine there), toggle disk check on next reboot, disk check has NO output other than a percentage. I am at 100 percent now and nothing is really happening.
NO OTHER OUTPUT
Power outage. Reboot to constant spinning wait cursor of death. Startup repair fails with absolutely no indication WHY. Restart in safe mode and set drive to be chkdsk'd on reboot. At 52 percent.
What is Microsoft's issue? Why can they not give diagnostics output? Helpful things like 'Bad or corrupted sector'?
