Windows 10: Cannot boot into windows after forced shutdown

PC was functioning normally. I stepped away for maybe an hour. Upon returning everything was frozen. I waited an additional half hour with no luck. At this time I forced a shutdown by holding the power button. After reboot it would not start windows and immediately went into diagnose mode, then repair, but was unable to repair. I tried all options in the recovery but none of then were able to complete. PC passes BIOS and other diagnostic tests. Is there a way to do a fresh install of windows without losing my data?

Windows booting

Hello,

To resolve your concern, we suggest that you continue to force restart the computer until Windows loads. If Windows does not load, it should automatically enter the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).

We can then try to repair the startup files for Windows. Here are the steps:

• In the Windows Recovery Environment (blue screen menus), select See advanced repair options > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair.

If it does not load Windows nor gets into WinRE, we will need to manually get to
WinRE. Here is how:

• Force shutdown your computer by pressing and holding the power button down for 5 to 10 seconds.
• Turn it back on and when you see the screen with the loading dots, force shutdown the PC once more. Make sure that you perform the force shutdown once you see the loading dots. You will need to do this twice.
• The third time you turn the PC back on, you should see Please Wait
  or Preparing Automatic Repair.
• In the Windows Recovery Environment (blue screen menus), select See advanced repair options > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Repair.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Windows 10 does not boot after forced shutdown

Hi,

My HP Pavilion G6 laptop is no more booting into Windows 10 after I did a forced shutdown 3 days back when the system was hung. I am not sure if some Windows 10 update was running in the background when I forced a shutdown.

Till now I have tried the following;
- Used F2 to get into system diagnostics and run 'memory test' and 'hard disk test'. Both have passed.
- Got into BIOS using F10 and checked all BIOS settings and boot options in BIOS are correct.
- Tried to boot from Windows 10 installation disk to run recovery, however it never boots from the DVD. It gives the error shown in the attachment. (some how I am not able to upload any attachments)
- Used Esc to get into the systems recovery option. The Windows 10 logo comes up with the waiting circle going round and round showing its doing something. However, even after 12 hrs I did not find any change and the system is stuck in the same same Windows logo screen.
- I have done a long power-down as suggested in one of the posts in this forum (holding down power button for more than 30 secs) and then trying to boot. This too did not help.

Every time it come back into the same Windows 10 logo screen and stays in that state for eternity.

Any help in getting the system to boot from DVD/re-installation of Windows 10 will of great help.

regards,
