Startup Freezes After Upgrade to Windows 10

[RJB-67]

Hi,

I have upgraded my pavilion laptop to Windows 10. It all works fine EXCEPT on startup where it freezes about 15 seconds into booting Windows. I have to hold down the power key to do a hard reboot, and then it always starts up fine the second time.

This always happens on a cold start-up, but not when restarting, when it restarts fine without problems.

I have updated the Bios to the latest version, and any drivers that might be causing this but I still have this issue. Any other ideas?

Rob.

I have the same type of laptop and have hit exactly the same issue.  Glad to know its not just my laptop but a more generic problem.  Have you had any luck in solving this one?

I have a DV-9000 that also freezes up after installing Win 10 on top of Win 7 Home Premium. Just glad it runs long enougth to start the Recovey to Win 7. Have installed twice and recovered twice. Would really like to see a fix for this problem.

Hi,

this might help, I had the same problem and by disabling fast startup it was solved. Go to control panel>power options>system settings. Click on 'change settings that are currently unavailable' and un tick the box Turn on fast startup, click save changes.  Power down and then switch back on and hopefully all will be well.

Great - that works - although finding the right part of control panel was more difficult than you explained. I found it under shutdown behaviours.

Update: I resolved my problem by removing the SSD drive I had repaced the laptops HDD with and put the original drive back in the computer. I then ran the install again and everything went fine with no freezes or other problems.

Had exact same problem and this is the solution:

1. Go to Control Panel (icons view)
2. Click on 'Power Options'
3. On the left, click on 'Choose what the power buttons do'
4. Near the top, click on 'Change settings that are currently unavailable'
5. This will bring up options at the bottom that you may have to scroll down to see
6. Under the Shutdown options, un-tick the box that says 'Turn on fast startup (recommended)'
7. Click 'Save changes'
8. Restart
9. All should hopefully now be well 🙂

Hi!

I have a "HP Pavilion 17-f100ng", since the upgrade in august to Windows 10

"Fast Boot" and "Hibernate" does not work "Freezes" at start up requires new start like mentioned in this thread.

I tried all possible “solutions” was able to find on the net but nothing works.

Now I have installed “Windows 10 Threshold 2” but no change.

I wondering why people accepting turning off “fast boot” as a “solution”.

It just masks HP inability to fixing this major bug.

Obviously something is wrong with how “hiberfil.sys” file is being used by the system.

Turning off “fast boot” dose NOT fix “Hibernation” !

The system still freezes by restarting from “Hibernation” and bypassing “Fast boot” is inhibiting to take

advantage of this great new windows feature.

Again:

Turning off “Fast boot” is NOT a solution guys !!!

Weak up HP and fix this annoying bug please!

Sorry "Ficko"...
You must be an Idiot...

Look at other Forums and you will see that many other people have this Problem, too.
This bug is not happening only on HP-Machines. It happens even on Self-Builded-Machines.

By the way... I got into this problem because my PC wont power on by wake on lan.

And this SOLUTION helped all other people having his problem, too.

Therefore - If someone have to fix a bug, than its Microsoft.

And now - Have much fun with your great feature.
