Windows 10: Nothing is Working

[satanicasmrjunkie666]

So I turned on my computer like I would any day, except when it booted, nothing seemed to function properly. None of the icons respond and if I try to click anywhere the mouse spirals blue. I have turned the computer on and off about 10 times and the same thing keeps happening.

UPDATE: I have a 3 monitor set up and the monitor to the right is in a really bad resolution and sometimes I will be able to left click to get display settings, but when I do it says: ms-settings:display error

it happens when you have Windows on a HDD.  OR When you fucked up windows.

Press the RESTART button. 

I am assuming that you may have not because Windows 10 never actually shuts down it you just press the shutdown button.
(also assuming you can use the UI at all.)

Hmmm I'm trying to remember, I think I upgraded, but wiped everything

[baxtmann]

How old is the hard drive? Has it been in any rough conditions lately?

I will sometimes be able to right click the windows icon in the left and restart that way, but most of the time I do it by holding down the physical power button on my tower

A few years, and I have left it on for the past few nights, and downloaded Fallout 4 and Hearthstone, but thats about it

Do you get any S.M.A.R.T. errors when you boot up?

Not that I know of, but it may just be that I don't know what those are

[baxtmann]

Its drive verification when your computer boots up to make sure the HDD is working properly.

i had a problem once where smart was giving me errors, and then all of a sudden the hdd died

then thats probably why youre having these issues

you need to do a full clean install, the proper way, not upgrade

[baxtmann]

Fresh install might be a good idea

But I upgraded more than half a year ago, do you think it will affect me only now?

How would I do that if I can't do much?

yes

its random when you start having issues, sometimes its right after but sometimes it takes a while to show up, or happens after an update, or something that triggers it
