A friend of mine clean booted his computer (which is with windows 10) and for hours it stays on the welcome screen without login button or anything except for the power button and 2 more buttons. Mouse is working, so is keyboard but any windows shortcut is not working. Please help!

choose start up options
hit the restart button
choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
Pc will restart and load safe mode

once he gets to safe mode, right click start
choose run...
type msconfig
set windows to normal start & restart PC

another choice is to run system restore and see if he has a date recent enough to...
