Hey an amateur here. I was just installed 2 games and the installation requires me to install java and c++ (not really sure and understand...) and defender control v1.6. I didn't installed those games at the same time. The thing is, after i got bored playing the 1st game, i deleted the game folder (because there's no uninstall program) which also contains defender control and i stupidly forgot to enable back the windows defender. When i was installing the 2nd game, i tried to enable the windows defender via the new defender control which the 2nd game comes with but it failed and when i tried to open the windows security dashboard, it wouldn't opened. Until this, i haven't had turned off my PC. I turned off my PC right after i've finished installing the 2nd game. Now my PC won't get to login screen and stuck switching on and off (gone for almost 1 hour) shown in the link.

Are there DIY solutions? Can you suggest with simple terms? Heheh

+Those games were cracked, downloaded from the same website.
+The 1st game ran smoothly

Well sorry for the incovenience. Not trying to promote piracy... just trying to fix the boot loop.
