fixing issues of windows stuck at logo screen

 If you just powered on your pc and windows gets stuck at the logo screen with infinite loading, no worries, we will just fix it up.

Method 1  uninstall graphic drivers or Update windows

Restart your pc and press (del) delete key to go to BIOS. if this does not work try pressing  F2,F4,F8 or F10 depending on the model of your motherboard.


In the BIOS look for the optimized defaults, load it up and save the settings and exit BIOS. for those who cant load up bios, remove the CMOS battery, wait for 5 minutes and return it . then power the pc up.

then now boot to safe mode in order to uninstall
1. Uninstall graphics card driver
2. anything suspicious
3. or even just update windows 10

 To do this just interrupt the normal boot process 3 consecutive times. To do this  while booting, long press the power button then press the power button to load it back on. On the fourth time, when windows enters the Automatic repair mode, just wait for it to load. 
When it enters automatic repair, click on
 Advanced options
then choose Troubleshoot
then Advanced options
then Startup settings
then click restart.
When it restarts, you will asked to choose what option by number you want. click (F4)

Look for the display adapters , right click whatever graphics you have and choose uninstall device. check the box and uninstall your drivers. you will be asked to restart you pc, click ok and when back on and it works, download the latest graphic drivers. 

in case this does not work, boot it back to safe mode and update your windows.

Method 2 removing newly added programs

more suitable if you installed  new application, hard restart your computer 3 consecutive times, you computer should start repairing your computer and Diagnosing your computer.

use method 1 to enter safe mode, when it finally gets to safe mode, go to your search bar and type

Step 1. first , you need to locate where your windows files are located ,normally they are in drive C.

type in

and click enter
If you see the windows file, stop at this point and proceed to step 2,if you don't get your windows files, E.g. Program files, users,  windows 
try this , type in this:

click enter and type 
dir

after sometime it will attempt repairs. If this takes longer than 25 minutes, consider restarting your computer and trying another fix. 
If all this does not work, do a system restoration using a bootable flash containing window 10 installation files.

Method 5  system restore and system image recovery

At this point you will need a windows installation media,
to create one check out this video.
connect the installation media to your pc.
the windows files will load up and an initial set up window will appear
click on next and then click on 
repair your computer

part 1. system restore

select Troubleshoot
use the following incase your computer set them up

the  bootrec installation tool
click on command prompt
the when the command prompt is opened

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.copy
hit enter
type
bootrec /rebuildbcd
hit enter, it shows the windows installation. it will ask you to whether you want the installation to join the boot list, type Y.
type exit and restart your windows 

Method 6 Bootrec installation media

If all this fails, get back to the Command prompt and type in
the drive letter of the drive containing your program files and windows file.
to confirm this just type
notepad. 
and hit enter
a notepad should appear and 
click on file
then open file
click on my pc 
then confirm your target drive by opening the drives to check where the program files are located.
for my case my program files are in drive c

type in the drive containing your windows files, (for my case it is local disk C:)
c:
hit enter
type 
dir
and hit enter, you should see the program files and other directories listed
type 
chkdsk c: /f
hit enter. if you get a message such as the one shown below type
Y 
and hit enter.

Once the whole process is done, we can type:

bootrec /fixmbr
hit enter, you will see the operation was completed successfully, then type 
bootrec /fixboot
hit enter, you may see, access is denied, so go to next part and type 
bootrec /rebuildbcd
hit enter, type 
bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

from there type and exit and enter.

Illustration for the mechanism for ozone destruction by CFCs

Illustrate the mechanism for ozone destruction by CFCs. The sun emits different types of wavelength, among those, we have UV light (Ultra violet light). The UV light would be very damaging if it were to come in contact with us including damaging the DNA and giving sunburns. Figure 1 types of ultra-violet radiation penetrating into the earth’s atmosphere and ozone layer. As shown in figure 1, we are protected by a layer of Ozone which accumulates in the upper atmosphere of the earth and absorbs the UV radiation (UVB and UVC) before it reaches us. Stratospheric ozone (O_3) is produced by the combination of an oxygen atom (O) with an oxygen molecule (O_2).  O_3+ UV => O + O,UV light strikes an oxygen O_2 molecule, splitting of the O atoms O+O_3↔O_2,O_2  reacts with O to form O_3, since its reversible, UV light also splits O_3to O_2+O In the upper atmosphere, allotropes of oxygen exist. They include O_3, O_2and o. They are all in equilibrium with each other hence they interconv...
