Windows 10: Boot Problem

Problem just started.Upon booting, logo just going in a loop.Second boot, message says "preparing repair", but nothing happens.Only way to boot, was to restore a saved image (Macrium).Checked all drives and clicked "scan for errors", but all said "No need - no errors".I am leaving it in Sleep until I find out the problem.Thanks for any advice.Paul
This is on my PC.

Windows Phone 8.1 update on Nokia Lumia 925 error 80188309

Same problem.

With Lumia 1520 (Dutch phone with os v. 8.0.10532.166).

First downloading, than preparation (where 96% takes a bit looonger)

Than it starts installing, at 2% is suddenly gives the famous error..

 

Windows 10 Product Key Blocked

I had the same thing.

I did the Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 upgrade and activated Windows 10 successfully. I then downloaded the media creation kit, created a bootable USB and did a fresh installation of Windows 10. This second installation would not activate and told me the key
had been blocked.

I spent about two hours on the phone to Microsoft who failed to get it activated. It's been escalated to their tier III support and I'm getting a call back this evening. I'll come back here and report how I got on.

 

Since it booted after restoring a macrium backup image - I would assume the problem and cause are now fixed..
thus the no error report...

 

It booted from image, but same problem upon trying to re- boot.

 

This automatic repair on boot has happened to me a couple of time for no apparent reason. I just turn off the PC, switch it off at the mains, hold the PC power on button for 30s then the PC restarts fine.

 

Thanks - I'll try that.
