My dad's computer is stuck on the loading screen, and we've been trying to fix it for about 20 minutes now. We restarted it, but it made a weird glitchy noise when we did. It's an HP running Windows 11. Any tips or advice on how to get past this?

It sounds like you're facing a common issue! Sometimes, if the computer gets stuck on the loading screen, it could be a sign of a software problem or even a hardware issue. Have you tried booting it in safe mode? You can usually do this by pressing F8 repeatedly while the computer is starting up. This can help you troubleshoot if there's a software conflict. Just be careful with any BIOS changes, as you might lose data if something goes wrong!
I haven't tried safe mode yet. I'll give that a shot and see what happens. Thanks!
