Gray screen loading windows

[kclemens311]

Every time I try to turn my computer back on, windows loads pretty slow. The Windows logo with the spinning dots show up and load regularly, and then it’s a blank grey screen with spinning circles and it boots up regularly after that. This time, the windows screen worked fine and went to the next grey screen, but there’s no spinning circles. It’s been doing this for a while and I’m too scared to turn it off in case it’s doing something important, should I just let it load longer or try to restart it?

Disable Fast Startup and see if it helps
Go to “Power options” then click on “Choose what the power buttons do” on the left pane.
Click on “Change settings that are currently unavailable.”
Under “Shutdown settings” turn off “Turn on fast startup”. Reboot

Use the System File Checker (SFC) tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Open Command Prompt as administrator and type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and hit Enter. It may take several minutes for the command operation to be completed.
When the above operation is done type sfc /scannow , and then hit Enter. SFC will scan all protected system files, and replace corrupted files.

Also you could test your disk for errors with HDDScan. HDDScan is a free hard drive app for testing disk for errors.

Check the Event Viewer for errors.
