Hololens stuck on blue blinking windows logo
So my hololens no longer boots up to the main menu. all i get when i try to boot up is a blinking windows logo. what does that mean?
i have tried to hold down the power for a long time for it to shut down. i have tried to do it with the charger plugged in or not.

Ok i have fixed this issue.
Thankfully the hololens is still accessible via the web console. So i saw the problem. The holoshell process was caught in a loop launching and exiting. I could not just kill the process.
So i went into the kiosk section and enabled kiosk mode. I then set the startup app to none. I then reboot the device.
Once it boot up it didnt have the blue blinking window screen of death. In fact it wasnt running anything but holoshell. Bloom doesnt work.
So i then i disabled kiosk mode and hit restart.
Then the hololens startup normally again.
