It's really annoying when the boot process takes so long. Everything seems fine once it starts, but then it stalls with those spinning dots for nearly five minutes. After that, the screen turns black and stays there for about 45 minutes. I tried restarting, but that didn't help. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del again didn't work either. Can you give me more details about what happens before it freezes?

Have you got an entry password? If so, try this: On the black screen, press the Ctrl key once on a connected physical keyboard. This will hide the cursor in the password field you can’t see. Now enter the password of the user who just logged out and press Enter. This will log you back in and restore the desktop. If you didn’t sign in due to a typo, press Enter again and type the password once more before pressing Enter.

Another approach, though it might be lengthy and complicated. If you don’t find a solution, try opening in rescue mode (sometimes press F8 to restart). Then attempt to install Windows Keyfinder, though I’m not sure it’s possible. We’re uncertain. Be cautious—there’s a chance the key might have been used before and can’t be reused. In rescue mode, you could back up all your data to another disk. Ultimately, you’ll need to format Windows and reinstall everything. This is your final option if you’re unsure what to do next. Good luck!
