    I have a Edge 15 that displays the Lenovo logo with dots moving in a circle during booting, it will stay like that for hours. What are my options to fix it besides boot from an installation USB and reinstall the OS?

    p.s. This problem suddenly appeared about two months ago, I am guessing after installing one of those Win10 updates on its own.

    Yep, I am trying it right now. (the last restore point was indeed after a Win10 critical update)

    Restore was successful but I am still stuck at booting. Gonna try "Reset this PC" -> "Keep my files" next.
    p.s.Tried booting into Safe Mode, same thing, stuck at booting.
