  1. Windows 10 safe mode works but normal mode boot loop automatic repair


    I'm sure you are busy so I'll try to make it as short as possible. Thanks in advance for reading. Windows system: Virtualbox VM, migrated into KVM. This vm boots just fine in virtualbox. Issue: Preparing automatic repair boot loop during boot in kvm. Attempted remedies: 1. Let it sit for an hour Does nothing just sits there with cpu flatlined 2. Startup repair Does nothing just sits there with cpu flatlined, I checked the srt trail log all of it's tests completed successfully. 3. Recovery options Sfc /scannow + reboot - bootloop Bcd /fixmbr and few variants + reboot - bootloop Dism commands + reboot - bootloop Check disk for errors, ran for the entire night, after reboot back to boot loop 4. Safe mode Boots into safe mode with networking successfully. Now I have attempted the following. Reboot - boot loop as before. Clean boot (disable all services and startup except Microsoft) - bootloop Uninstalled virtualbox guest additions. Reboot - Error A required device is not connected, 0xc00000f. In this bsod, even though there are options mentioned below as repair and so, no key press works, it's just frozen. So I have reverted back to original snapshot. Clean install is not an option as this is my development machine and has tons of customization which will take forever to set up. This is very likely a driver issue but I just can't seem to find which one. I have been trying to figure out for 3 straight days (I have not done anything else other than troubleshooting) and I'm completely stuck. Any help would be much appreciated, I'm willing to pay for your time.

    :)

    Safe mode problems

    Yes normal mode works, cant figure how safe mode doesn't work out for me except while in directory service repair mode and using diagnostic mode in ms config to boot to safe mode, pretty weird, it got me stumped

  3. Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...

    Good Evening,
    I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
    The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

    • stopping startup items
    • uninstalling hardware drivers
    • removing recent software
    • running troubleshooters at boot
    • sfc scan
    • diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running
    Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
    Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
    Kind regards
    Trevor

    Windows 10 safe mode works but normal mode boot loop automatic repair

    Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

    I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

    Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .
