Windows on Chromebook is frozen in the "Please wait" message.
In short, I'm trying to get Windows 10 running on my Samsung Chromebook 3 (Celus). I updated the firmware and installed the latest BIOS, then downloaded the Windows installer onto a flash drive. After installing, I encountered a "Please wait" screen before any login attempts. The system has been freezing and flickering for about 2 to 3 hours now. I'm unsure what's causing the issue and would really appreciate any advice. P.S. I understand Chromebook Windows isn't perfect, but I have my reasons and it's not a permanent solution.
No, I don't have access to your specific needs or requirements. Could you clarify what you're asking about?
Well, if it isn't a permanent fix, why bother with the troubleshooting? These kinds of problems are tough to pinpoint. Probably the best approach is: try starting in Safe Mode (force a reboot while Windows loads three times, then the automatic repair screen will pass. It might not find anything, but you’ll get to choose a restart with advanced boot options, select it, and Safe Mode will be available). If that doesn’t work, open the command prompt and run: Chkdsk C: /r (this checks and fixes errors on the drive) sfc /scannow (this scans for OS-level issues). If these steps don’t help, see if the problem lies in the boot process by running: bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot bootrec /scanos bootrec /rebuildbcd
MBR and BCD don't require fixing since he notices the "Please Wait" circle. SFC scanning becomes useless on a fresh install and first run. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/...hromebook/ Could be useful.
