I did a silly thing, turned off my PC at the PSU and now it won't boot.

It boots to Repairing Windows, then stops there. I did some reading, seems a common issue so I got hold of a Windows 10 DVD so I can boot to that and repair.

My issue is though it starts to boot via the DVD it stops with the 4 blue box Windows icon on the screen, the DVD stops spinning and once again it locks and goes nowhere.

Currently building a USB boot drive on my Mac so I can try that and have just removed the Mobo battery which I shall replace with a new one, but any help welcomed. No obvious hardware issues, memory and disks all there in BIOS etc.

Can it boot in safe mode? if you keep disturbing the repair a couple of times you get to an Advanced Repair screen which can let yoiu select Safe Mode. Other than that try a reinstall of the software with the installation disk but keep your files.

Yes done all of that, it isn't working.

I can't get into a safe mode, that is my issue.
 
You are missing my point.

I can’t get to a point where I can access ANY windows 10 apps, be that via normal boot, USB bootable or DVD. My PC is not allowing me to boot to a state where I can do anything.
 
I can’t boot from a USB

I can’t boot from a DVD


I go into the BIOS and force both those as primary boot devices, but it still gets stuck on the Windows screen and does not get past it. All very odd.
 
I disconnected all the USB stuff (PC is on my race sim) and when it booted it moved into emergency mode so I did a full clean install.

All very odd, it would not go into emergency recovery from the installed Windows 10 instance, USB instance or Windows 10 DVD no matter what I did, how much faffing in the Bios or key pressing / on off button pressing I did.

Clean install fixed it and having 950Mbps internet makes it painless.
