My laptop (Ausus) has been stuck on this screen for 3 hours. I have tried turning on and off a few times with no luck. There is no external battery and from what I have read online there is no way to get to safe mode without the windows screen actually booting.

I can't recall which ones but some PC's use f10 or f12 rather than f8. Also, some use delete key.

That seems strange.

Try shift-F8.

On mine you hold down the power button for 30 seconds to reset and it seems to work.

Restore it back to factory settings.

I had an old lap top a few years ago. Thought it was dead. Bought a new one. One day I pulled it out of the closet to see if I could get it to work. And I did. I googled how to do it and it worked.

Did you try zoom and enhance?

'Escape' should get you to the boot selection menu (probably not germaine unless you have a boot disc/drive)

'F9' for Asus Laptop Recovery (a 'hidden' partition that hopefully resides on your laptop ... but realize this is more or less a 'factory reset' so if there are things on the computer that you want but aren't backed-up, you really need to make a boot disc/drive and try that first)

I suspect a procto exam is preferred to the idea of having to wipe a computer and start from scratch ... at least the misery is over much sooner.

That said, it's understandable because I think he originally typed "Ansus".

Oops, nope, it was "Ausus".

That new MacBook though....

Did this and reset with an option to keep all my files but delete all applications downloaded. Kinds of annoying to re download everything but lost no files. I back my files up to a manual hard drive but hadn't the last two weeks.
