Thank you for your suggestion! I opened msconfig and selected "diagnostic startup" as you suggested. After that I restarted my PC but ended up having an error message that my PIN is not available. When I click for setting up a PIN it says it has to install an app but it doesn’t do anything. So the problem is that now I cant log into my PC anymore. I could try starting my windows from a USB device and see if I am able to find a way to  log in again. Do you have any suggestion what to do in these cases? It seems to get from bad to worse unfortunately.

Thank you in advance!

W10 PIN is available only after you set up a password first. Can you login using that?

Hello,

I could not set a password. I tried more or less everything (CMD, save mode, automatic repair etc.) but I could not log into windows anymore. The only thing which helped was a system restore. I lost a few files but fortunately I backup every week. Have you any idea how I could proceed. I really need to fix the stuttering?

Should I try with the “selective startup” of turning off the PIN option before I do a diagnostic startup to avoid the same issue again? (https://domainwebcenter.com/do-not-use-msconfig-diagnostic-startup/) ? I don’t know if that helps. I’m out of ideas, and I really would love to narrow down the issue.

I am thankful for any ideas!

Try setting up windows without any logon credentials (or just a password) , to avoid such issues in the future.

I setup windows without any logon credentials now, and the diagnostic startup mode works now. Unfortunately, I can’t really work in that mode, since all my Software is not working properly when I’m offline (I need to be connected online). I tried playing around within windows explorer, but its hard to tell if there is any change to the system performance, since usually the system gets only really slow when I have multiple programs open simultaneously and especially when it is running for quite a while. So, I couldn’t emulate my usual workflow. What else could I try or should I try?

Thank you in advance!

It might be completely unrelated and I'm hope that by now you have fixed the issue but most of the issues I had with my TR vanished when I realised I was running on windows Legacy BIOS and not my MB's UEFI!

As soon as I got it fixed and I logged in, I might have shed a tear :')
