windows 10 stuck at login screen

So I go to boot up my computer today as usual and it gets to the part where theres a little spinning circle on a black screen and will go no further. i can move the cursor around but seems to be no way past it. tried disconnecting usb devices. i didnt install or update anything before turning it off last night.

tried startup repair... failed
tried system restore... failed
tried restore to earlier point... worked, but still cant login
tried safe mode... still stuck at black screen

guess im reinstalling. had so many god damn problems with this useless os. every 6mo-1yr it seems to strike me down out of the blue

thanks for any help

For what it's worth I had a similar problem re installed Windows a few times HP desktop, turned out to be driver related. Have you scanned your mobo and peripherals to make sure the latest drivers are installed also check bios. Once I had done this things went smoothly and no issues since then

Do you have any AV or internet security installed?

Check your HDD isn't about to die. You usually can tell by hearing that werid clicking sound repeatedly on boot up.
