Sometimes I had to long press the button to kill it and restart it. But that Doeskin seem to help now. The red light will light up but it won't reboot and start.

I'm not an expert, but the Kobo Glo HD has a microSDHC card in it which contains the reader's OS and all the books. My guess is that if Windows 10 finds a blank SD card when you plug it in, the microSDHC card's content got damaged. If you post to the "Need SD Image" thread, someone will PM with an image of the firmware. You could try to reload the existing microSDHC card, or you could get a new one that is at least 4 GB (I've got a 64GB microSDXC card in mine), follow the directions and build the image in the new card, open up the reader and replace the SDHC card. This voids the warranty, if that matters to you, but if you try to return it for warranty work, you could replace the new SD card with the one that's there now.
