Windows10 reboot loop

[Sebastian1212]

I just finished downloading windows 10 with all the updates (or so I think since I clicked the option to do so) and I'm at the primary login screen where it says "Welcome to Windows 10!" My login profile, I'm not said profile, a little settings tab (narrator, magnify, sticky keys, high contrast, etc. So nothing of use) and anytime I click next or I'm not said profile it stays on the same screen. If I click it again it reboots my computer.

So windows 10 is showing a different user to your normal one? Do you normally use a local user? Its likely its showing the account name for your Microsoft account, the email address given to them when you registered for the upgrade. Are you only person who uses this PC?

If it is one of your email addresses, you can use this page to change your password: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/instantanswers/24749d13-a7ec-4aa7-a067-9fc74c16d8d2/to-change-your-microsoft-account-password

I will answer here instead of via pm. Since i seem to be misunderstanding you, it would be better here as someone else might be able to assist.

Was this an upgrade or fresh install? I am guessing its an upgrade?

It sounds like your user is corrupted, that seems to be happening a lot recently. Since you cannot get into your normal account its pointless creating a new user as you won't have access to all your folders without the admin password

Since you cannot get into your normal user since it just reboots when you try, I would use the following link to copy anything off the PC you cannot afford to lose: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

Your best bet is to clean install win 10. You can download it from Here and use that to make a Win 10 installer on USB or DVD (using another PC obviously)

If you don't like that advice, just wait for others to answer...

This may sound stupid but I simply disconnected my WiFi adapter and it worked.

You can never tell what might help. Glad you sorted it
