son's laptop is giving problems
on startup there is a screen saying your laptop didn't close down properly and 2 options
1. launch startup repair or
2. start windows normally
1st option just makes screen flash then goes back to screen with above 2 options
2nd option goes to start windows then restarts laptop and goes back to screen with above 2 options
any ideas anyone?
