Windows 10: Cannot boot into windows 10, safe mode, reset even with recovery USB, or restore to system...

Hi there,I ran into a problem a few days ago leaving my laptop just open, walked away and came back with the a message "Press Y to reset fTPM" or "Press N to keep previous fTPM record and continue system reboot". I pressed N and it tried to boot up windows but it also immediately crashes and restarts the computer. After restarting it shows the message again. I repeated a few times pressing N, eventually I pressed Y and it seemed to get me out of the message. But even then, the computer would crash & restart after a few seconds as the windows 10 attempts to load up. Sometimes it would show

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Unable to boot the PC, stuck in recovery mode screen​

Hi Joe,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to boot the PC normally as it is stuck in recovery mode.

1. Were there any recent updates installed on the PC?
   
2. What is the exact make and model of the PC?
   

I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.



Method 1:



Boot the PC into safe mode with networking and check if you are able to login. Refer the article to

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10, refer the section
From a black or blank screen.



Method 2:



Perform a system restore to revert the PC back to the state when everything was working fine. Refer the article

Recovery options in Windows 10, refer the section
Use installation media to restore or reset your PC.



Note:
Do not reset the PC; resetting the PC will remove all the data and installed programs from the PC.



We await your response.

Black Screen /w mouse on startup - safe mode boot, repair and reset fails

Hi all!

Since yesterday, my up-to-date Windows 10 PC boots to a black screen. Hoewever, I can

• move the mouse
• use some shortcut functions, e.g. open monitor options by pressing Win+p or open speech input by pressing Win+Enter.

What I tried:

• Rebooting after unplugging all USB devices -> same behaviour
• safe mode -> same behaviour
• low resolution mode -> same behaviour
• system repair (via advanced boot menu) -> it fails with an error
• system reset (retaining data) -> it fails with an error
• system restore -> cannot find any recovery points (though I do not believe there are none)
• booting with a usb flash device set up with the boot media creation tool -> does not find the windows installation

Seems to me like I am pretty up a gum tree here. However, any suggestions?

Kind regards,
