POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I have a Lenovo ideapad 310 and the keyboard suddenly just stopped working - when I shut it down, it would not boot, just a black screen with Lenovo logo and endless circle animation. Hitting F8 key got me to recovery menu but even that just hung with the circle animation.
Reading many posts alerted me to the fact that there was a hardware reset hole which you can use to access bios (on mine, close to earphone jack -others describe close to power jack). I pushed a paperclip in while powering on - leads to text menu >> select BIOS then Boot options. "Fast boot" was enabled - I disabled it, saved and rebooted ... it took a little while but came back into Windows as normal!
