After booting up in Windows 10, my PC is continuously flashing between the lock screen and the PIN number input screen.
To fix this issue, I've entered safe mode and removed my display drivers, I've performed a chkdsk scan and various other scans in the command prompt, one of which generated a DISM file.
However, all my attempts to restore the system to a previous point have been unsuccessful. What else cani do? Thank you!

Hello,

It sounds like you've already tried several troubleshooting steps, which is great. Please let us know if you have solved the problem. If not, here are a few more suggestions you can try:
  • Reinstall display drivers: Since you’ve removed the display drivers in Safe Mode, the next step is to reinstall the most recent drivers. You can download the latest drivers for your graphics card from the manufacturer’s website and install them manually.
  • System File Checker (SFC): Run the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files, so start by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and type: sfc /scannow. Press Enter and wait for the scan to complete. Then, follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Check for malware: Run a full system scan using Windows Defender or any other reliable antivirus software you might have to ensure that malware is not causing the issue.
You can also perform a clean boot or even consider performing a repair install of Windows 10. This process will reinstall Windows without affecting your personal files, apps, and settings.

Thank you for the suggestions. I ran SFC scan and disabled unnecessary applications at startup. I couldn't access the system in normal booting mode because safe mode disabled the necessary services. Someone suggested an override to install the system and a friend helped me. The issue is now resolved
