Question Windows failing to initialise - black screen after it prepares to repair

[Barney Willis]

Hi folks,

Scratching my head over this one and would really appreciate some advice. My desktop running Windows 10 acted a bit oddly (couldn't quit Chrome, access task manager) so I powered down. Now it won't boot. No clear reason why - it did something similar a few weeks ago but started up fine after a few tries.

I can get into BIOS but after that Windows can't start. Once every three times it tries to repair but then I just get a black screen with a cursor and have to power off again. So that doesn't solve much!

To make things worse, I have also lost my backup Windows boot USB!

Know I have limited options right now - any advice? If anyone has a way of booting Windows from my Android phone then perhaps that might work? I am just wondering how I can get back in there

Thanks,

Barney.
