Windows 10: can Reflect cause a booting problem?

Maybe it's just coincidence, because I've been having a lot of Win10 problems since being forced to upgrade to 19041.1 in March. But I'd just installed Macrium Reflect Free and then decided to reboot. I next saw for the first time ever a "stopcode", though I didn't have time to see the actual number. Then it did some things and said it would try a restore. After about a half hour of the spinner and "attempting to repair", it finally went on to boot up.

I did a default install of Reflect, except I checked the box for Hyper-V, because my system does say it detects a virtualization. (Used in Android Studio for virtual phones.)

Is there any chance Reflect caused the problem? Thanks.

From SrtTrail.txt:

All other tests showed Error code = 0x0

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.

 

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
