Windows 10: Bad System Config Info - W10

A friend brought me her computer last night because it had suddenly stopped booting up. She got the error message on the BSOD about "Bad System Config Info". Windows Repair was unable to deal with this, and the standard repair options offered have had no effect.I located the log files and copied them to my PC, where I noticed that the log files included an entry, for the last time the machine successfully booted, that included this entry:file beginsStartup Repair diagnosis and repair log---------------------------Last successful boot time: ‎12/

Bad system config info Windows 10

After i upgrade to W10, on a Toshiba Sattellite, L845 SP202, i5 4 gb RAM, i had no sound...

Then, when i restarted, it shows a blue screen with the Bad system config info...

I tried every step the system adviced, but nothing seems to work...

Not even go back to W7

Thanks!

 

Bad System Config Info

Hi John,

Thanks so much for your suggestion. Sadly, the fixes did not work, and I'm still getting "bad system config info."

MS support is still not honoring phone calls reserved in advance/promises to call back in a few minutes-- must say I'm disappointed.

Any further ideas?

Connie

 

Bad system config info

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The error Bad System Config means that something is wrong with the registry on your PC and you'll need to return to a previous configuration. It would be great, if you can help us with the details requested below:

• When do you get the error message?
  
• Does the computer boot to the Desktop?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  

I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article
Error 0x74: Bad_system_config_info and see if that helps.



Note: The last step in the above article talks about performing a reset on the computer. Resetting the computer will delete all the files and applications from the computer. Do not perform reset on your computer.

Let us know how it goes.
