The system took a significant duration to display "Please Wait..."
Hi! Your dad is experiencing issues starting Windows 10. The boot process seems slow, taking around a minute for the loading prompt and then about four minutes to display the desktop. In the boot log, it appears the system attempted to load the same drivers over 800 times but failed. This pattern could be the cause. If this matches, you might want to disable certain startup items or check for conflicting drivers. If not, other troubleshooting steps like checking hardware connections or using a different driver setup could help. A clean boot was tried already, so consider deeper diagnostics next.
Mechanical drives slow down boot times significantly. Have you performed error checks to confirm there are no damaged sectors? It might also be due to a worn-out or failing hard drive with bad sectors.
