Windows 8 won't go past "please wait" when booted up (plz help)

Shyghoul

Peace be with you, whoever you are.

every time I boot up this laptop it gets stuck on the please wait screen, the lock screen (it has a baby owl background <3) appears but clicking it just goes back to plz wait until the lock appears again and I click it and the process repeats. I tried restore the system back to a previous point in time when it was working but I just get an error, I tried running an Sfc scan and it just stops at 9%, and I killed onedrive and that didn't work either. also this computer worked perfectly fine 24 hours ago.

help
 
Put some version of Linux on a usb stick, go to your bios upon booting up (one of the f keys), change boot order to usb first, then restart.

Temporarily solves the problem and maybe from there we can figure out what’s going wrong
 
I can already run it in safe mode
 
OKay then do a backup of your important files if you can and just wipe that hard drive and reinstall windows

That solves about every problem
