Windows 10: Cannot Resolve Boot Loop with "REGISTRY ERRORS" Stopcode.

When I start up the computer, it goes through BIOS and then gives me the blue screen stopcode REGISTRY ERRORS and it is stuck in that loop.

Using a copy of Windows 10 on a USB, I tried going through Repair Your System > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options. Startup Repair, System Resore, and Uninstall Updates do not work.

From here, I tried using the Command Prompt to look at what’s going on:

• Bootrec /rebuildBcd gave me “The requested system device cannot be found.”
• diskpart > sel disk 0 > list vol shows volume 5 as F. It is an NTFS partition, 118 GB (my M2 drive). F was always the drive letter assigned to my hard drive when it was working normally, but from what I understand this “F” doesn’t necessarily correspond to the other “F?”
• F: \shows me the Windows folder and everything else.
• I thought I should try fixing the registry. I entered via cd f:\windows\system32 and then did mkdir configBak. This gave me “the media is write protected.”
• Went back and dug more into the bootrec command and realized that I might be plugging in my USB into the wrong slot. When I changed it, now I get: 0xc000000f “The Boot configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors).
• Back into the original slot and now can’t boot from UEFI USB startup option (what I was doing before).
• Tried chkdsk F: /f. Write protected.
• I tried clearing with list volume F > select volume F > attributes disk clear readonly > exit. Still happened.
• Deleted MiniNT folder in registry editor to get rid of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl so I can write. Doesn’t fix it.
• In command prompt, tried dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth which gave me Error: 50 (DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option).
• Tried dism.exe /image:F:/Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth and got Error: 2 (Unable to access the image). Looked around, some said it was a registry error.
• Back to registry stuff: the other day I tried running sfc /scannow so I decided to run it again on F:. Did not find any intergrity violations.
• Also tried again (as I had previously) chkdsk F: /f /r /x but cannot run because write protected.
• Also, when I look in f:\Windows\System32\config\Regback, the DEFAULT, SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, and SYSTEM all list 0 which from what I can tell means I can’t repair these.

Anyways, I’m at a total loss. Anyone know what I should do? Should I do a clean install and copy over my contents to an external drive or what? I’d prefer not to lose my data on that drive (luckily, I don’t have much).

Windows 10 won't boot after making registry edits to solve windows explorer loop

I made suggested changes to the registry to fix windows explorer not working loop, and now windows 10 will not boot, not even to safemode. Any suggestions? Thank you.

 

BSOD - Registry Error

Your BSOD code is 0X000000051

Here's the Google search I did for it: https://www.google.com/search?q=0x0...j5.399j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

There is a hotfix available that might help, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/810558

This thread makes a few good suggestions too: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-hel...dows-7-pro-sp1-registry-error-0x00000051.html

+1 to listing your full system specs, OS version, etc. I did only look at your BSOD log file.

Run a Diskchk /R (I know you already ran one, so you can skip this)

Run SFC /SCANNOW

Report back.

 

Windows boot loop

Hi Ruth,

A boot loop may occur if there is a corruption in the system file components. It can also be caused by an incompatible driver installed on the device. To isolate your concern regarding the blue/green screen you're getting on your device, we'd like to ask
