Hi, I updated my laptop (HP 14-d005AU) from Windows 8 to 10 and everything was working well for a while until I began having problems with my disk usage being stuck on 100% which kinda locked up the computer.
Things I tried were disabling the services Superfetch and Windows Search, disabling that P2P update option for windows updates (seemed to work for a few days), increasing the pagefile size to my amount of RAM (which also seemed to work for a while) etc.
I began getting that hard drive check coming up at boot and it would always hang at 7% but I could still skip it and use windows fine. I checked the drive in windows and it said there were errors so I tried to use chkdsk but it said it couldn't lock the disk and I had to do disk check at boot which still would hang at 7%.
It got worse at boot from the amount of time getting the message about checking an repairing the disk and being able to skip it going from about 5 seconds to maybe 10 minutes and windows began loading with alot of things missing, wifi for example in a kind of random order, sometimes things would be there sometimes they wouldn't until it got to the point where it would just hang at that message whether I skipped the disk check or not and windows wouldn't load.
I downloaded Neosmart EasyRE for Windows 10 and made a bootdisk with the ISO. I wasn't able to boot with it so I followed their instructions and set the boot order to start with the DVD drive first which didn't work and then I disabled secure boot from the bios.
Now all that happens is a blank screen appears when I start the laptop. Can't boot from anything and can't even access the bios anymore. No sounds nothing at all.
Is there anything I can do to fix this or should I just bin it? Not sure if its a hardware problem or specifically because of Windows 10
Any help would be nice thanks
